January 29, 201313 yr comment_17846 That's the same one I have. What is a stiffener? How'd it get bent?A fellow on another forum is having fits trying to get parts for a new Delta lathe. Sounds like things are going downhill for Delta.Gene'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.' G. K. Chesterton Report
January 29, 201313 yr comment_17845 I have been trying to find a part for my Delta mortiser and every place has the part on back order with no estimate of when it will become available. Good thing that the part is not crucial for operation as I can still use the mortiser without it. This is an issue with the Delta parts on a wide scale.Allen WorshamCorona, CAallenworsham@earthlink.net'Graze in every man's field, but always give your own milk' J. Vernon McGee Report
January 29, 201313 yr Author comment_17844 Gene - The parts breakdown calls it a "Knife Locking Bar". Â It is the bar that locks the knife in the rotating head.Cause? Â Picture Oak, cutting into the grain, a little too much initial push, chip instead of cut, chip gets jammed into the knife so hard that it breaks the knife and completely bends the stiffener out of shape. Â Been there, done that myself.Larry, good thought, will give it a try.Fredaka Pop's Shopwww.pops-shop.com'Soooooo many patterns - sooooo little time'Scroll Saw Forum Host Report
