1. Getting the motor installed with a simple mechanism to adjust the belt tension.

2. You, Sir John, are an engineer, an artist, a craftsman and a genius. Suuuuubscribed.

3. I cant find the plans for this build on your website. I have an old 4 inch Sears & Roebuck jointer that I inherited from my Grandfather, and it has a detached motor that I need to build a table/stand in order to mount it. Was hoping I could use a variation of this build

4. Where can I get the plans for this project.

5. Weren't you tempted to make it a thicknesser too? That seems like an obvious space saving win for the small shop owner. I guess the only drawback would be that the jointer tables (and the infeed adjust) would need to be thinner than the drum, but I can think of ways to have the thicknesser table support it when wound up to the top.

6. Why did you change motors? What motor will you use for your new table saw that you are going to build in the NEAR FUTURE??

7. Why do you drill the countersinks before the pilot holes?

8. The rigid 6inch jointer/planer manual calls for belt tension slack of around one inch. I set it up like that, but not on tight side, not less than an inch of slack, maybe slightly more. I couldn't tension the belt more … Too heavy. I notice when the stop switch is pressed, the motor winds down with quite a bit of shudder. Is that normal? Wondering how much belt tension you're going for? And if having some shudder on shutdown is normal? Thanks for your work and sharing on this. Like many, can't wait to see this in action. Side note … I noticed several content guys are not releasing videos as much as they used to. Any progress from Google on the advertising Algorithm BS? Thanks in advance.

9. Does that outro indicate a CBG slide build in the near future? 😉

10. What a tease, you could have at least test run the motor 😣

12. You are too much to dump, rather show the construction

13. Awesome job, it's coming together nicely.

14. Hi John, I'm curious has all this been made from stuff you already had or did you have to buy any of it specifically for this?

15. Looking really cool. It's definitely making me want to build one too.

16. Coming on great 🙂

17. Love your solution and no you are not arrogant.

18. Great job on the build John. Keep up the great work.

19. Always following with interest, John. 🙂

    How do you determine the right diameter of pulley and length of belt for something like this?
