Having spent the time recently to replace the arbor bearings in my table
saw, and building another MDF extension for the left side (getting rid of
the cast extension that was there), I was pretty near complete in the things
I wanted to do to my saw. Remaining was just to upgrade the pulleys to good
quality cast pulleys, a link belt, and a paddle switch which I would locate
in better position than my current switch.
So - Santa paid attention and sure enough, the pulleys were there this
morning, as was the link belt and the switch. All from Grizzly. I have to
make a run to Home Depot in the morning for an outside box that is deep
enough for the switch, and then a small amount of effort to get all the new
goodies installed. Fire up the furnace, park my butt on a stool and in no
time, my saw will be even smoother and quieter, not to mention I won't have
to bend into a really unnatural position to hit the on/off switch. I never
cared for how I mounted that switch from the day I did it, but lately I
think more about the consequences of things like that than I ever used to.
Oh yeah - got a router foot switch also. I'll have to throw that on as
well, but that takes all of 30 seconds to accomplish.
Somehow I'm going to have to find a way to milk this into a half day job.

"Pennsylvania Dutch Egg Nog", with rum, brandy and blended whiskey already
included, is what we buy at this time every year. Ran out this afternoon
and so did the liquor store. Supposed to be back in stock tomorrow.

There is a family dairy in the area that specializes in making eggnog
for the holidays.
Decided to try some this year and with the help of Google, found them.
There was a line of cars around the block waiting to buy eggnog.
The eggnog is sold in quart size glass bottles that look like they
have been around since the 1950s.
Bought two bottles for $11 including bottle deposit and I'm on my way.
Usually add a little rum to my eggnog, but this time decided to try it
"virgin" before adding rum.
This eggnog was SOOOOO......O good.
Never got around to adding the rum.
I'll be back next year.
For those that are interested you can Google "Broguiere's Farm Fresh
Dairy"

This small Floresville, Texas dairy excels at eggnog:

It can be used straight from the bottle as the dip for French toast.

Ok - so, things didn't quite turn out as I planned. I did get the new
switch mounted on my saw and it's located such that I can either hit it with
my left hand very easily or I can hit it with my left knee to shut the saw
down. I like this a lot. Old habits die hard though - I still find myself
reaching down to the old location of the switch to turn the saw on. That
was yesterday...
Today I undertook to replace the pulleys and the belt. Wouldn't ya know it,
some dummy gave Santa the wrong part number from Grizzly and the motor
pulley that Santa delivered was for a 3/4" shaft, not a 5/8" shaft. Stupid
Grizzly - they shipped exactly what was ordered and not what I really
needed... So - undaunted, I replaced the arbor pulley and installed the
link belt. Fired that mother up and holy cow! My saw passed the nickle
test before these changes, but wow - is this thing smooth now - and quieter.
Ordered the right pulley from Grizzly this morning and expect that to arrive
early next week. 5 minutes and that'll be on.
Just cannot believe the difference in this saw. Between replacing the arbor
bearings, the pulleys and the belt, this saw has gone from not being bad to
being astounding! Next - Woodworker II.

Wait till you are leaning over to complete a cut and your leg hits the
switch. ;~) I had to get used to this with the SawStop. The biggest
drawback in the case with the SawStop is that the blade has to come to a
complete stop before you can turn the saw back on.

I put two different length link belts on my DP, it used to shake rattle
and roll. I noticed that is not in particular quieter, it now makes a
different sound, but much much smoother.

Oh no, this time "they" will send the wrong one. LOL

You might want to be wearing diapers the first time you cut a board with
the new blade.
