Shop Talk Live 21: Tablesaw Tech
On this week’s edition of Shop Talk Live, we tackle a listener’s questions regarding the potential pitfalls of a used tablesaw purchase. Then Matt Kenney’s 40 year-old Delta Unisaw takes centerstage as Matt fills us in on his recent experience rehabbing this workshop classic. Plus, we’ll have a bit of fun at contributing editor Christian Becksvoort’s expense, with an outtake that didn’t make the final cut of his recent appearance on NBC’s Parks and Recreation.

Before you epoxy your socket chisel handle, here's one more thing to check.
I had the exact same problem with one of my LN chisels; the handle just would not stay in the socket. Looking closely, you'll see there is a shoulder at the base of the tapered tenon. On the problem chisel I noticed the blade was fully against the shoulder. Turns out the tenon was simply not cut long enough and the blade hit the shoulder before it had a chance to tighten up.
I did a little paring and, keeping the same taper angle, took the shoulder back another 1/8". This allowed the socket to seat firmly and it now work like a charm.
Is there another place to listen to this episode? The link doesn't work and iTunes doesn't have it.
I cannot get the link to work either.
