Has anyone installed this on the Steel City 40100 planer? If so, how did it work out for you?

I've put it on my a 40200 and it is great, I wouldn't plane a board without it now.

if the planer did not bolt up right you could always use the plywood on top method. the planer I have is pretty big and pretty heavy so size and weight might be an issue, not for the stand but as far as putting it on and removing it.

You might take a blade into Harbor Freight and see if the 2 blades that they sell might just fit your planer and the blades are reasonable.

I had the same saw, I had to re drill and tap the rails and add supports to the side wings. But it was the best money I spent on a fence, I have since moved it to a 1953 delta unisaw. If you can drill and tap buy it and don't look back!

There is almost no black and white answers to which is better. This helical Steel City planer is very smooth, and very quiet for a planer. There is a bit of snipe, although I have not yet adjusted the infeed, outfeed tables. The straight blade planer such as Dewalt are powerful, but a little more expensive for the small shop. I am very very pleased with the Steel City planer. It is smooth, powerful, safe and quiet.

The WR510 guage is best suited for bench style planers. The WR550 is made to use on floor model planers. I have not had any issues with mine. I installed my WR550 on a Grizzly 15" planer.

I have a 1995 vintage MTD 21 inch snow blower, model 315E150. The Oregon 73-050 fit perfectly. The auger was about 1/4 inch shorter than the original, but that didn't affect the install or operation. The net difference was the threaded shaft for the pulley end didn't extend too far beyond the pulley. Seems to me that an auger to fit a 21 inch MTD would handle your part number. On my blower there is a bearing at each end of the auger. The bearing is held in place by 3 screws on the exterior of the housing at both ends. One bearing is hidden behind the pulley for the belt drive. You must remove the pulley, and both bearing units. The old auger is a little difficult to remove. I needed to use a pry bar and force it out. The Oregon is a little shorter and went in rather easy. The pulley is removed by turning in a clockwise direction. I used a ratchet with a 1 inch socket while holding the old auger with a pry bar so it didn't move. Obviously once the new auger and bearings units are reinstalled, the pulley goes back on counterclockwise. When I first investigated a replacement at Amazon, I entered my auger part number and the software directed me to the Oregon. My part number was listed in the description. The new Oregon auger works just fine. I have only used it twice since installing.

Have been using dust right separator with my dewalt surface planer very successfully. My only complaint is that the hose end does not fit into the dust port on the planer as they are the exact same size. I'm sure you can purchase a connector, but I just used duct tape which is not particularly sexy, but does the trick just fine.

Jim,I don't know? On mine I have never had a problem. It came with 4 of 5 different blades and they all slide right in. Let me know what specifically you are having trouble with and I will check it out.Mark

Randy, probably overkill for your benchtop planer, but I used a Wixey WR550 Remote Planer Readout for my Grizzley 15"x8" planer here and it works flawlessly. The scale is mounted behind the far left post (out of harms way), and the readout is mounted for a perfect viewing angel upfront right by the adjusting wheel. The scale is mounted "upside down" so the readout decreases as the bed is raised. Hope this helps.

On the planer body it says 60 but the manual says 50/60. Take your pick. You can probably download the manual from Bosch.

I haven't but i put it on a 24" grizzly and there where no directions for it. It works great and it would be no problem to put it on the central. Should fit on any portable planer with the standard directions.

Check the written description if any. My purchase was for all graphite shafts. The price I paid was extremely low for all graphite shafts and really was similar to prices for the steel/graphite stes. Send an inquiry to the seller-they will answer. Good luck.

I purchased the Wixey WR 550 remote planer readout. It adapts easily to just about any planer. I have a Grizzly planer. Instructions show cable running from readout to scale running over top of planer. I ran mine under the table. Readout woorks very well and repeats wonderfully. It definately makes a huge difference in accuracy. Enjoy using it. I do!

I bought this for my Sears model 152.221140 table saw - it did not fit. I had to return it. The 152 prefix in my saw's model number means the saw was made by Steel City. You should measure the insert in your saw before purchasing another. After measuring mine I wound up purchasing a Leecraft insert that said it was for Delta saws. It was a Leecraft DL-1U. That makes sense since Steel City saws are mostly based on Delta designs.I just pulled up your saw's manual online. It looks like mine and the part numbers start with OR. That means yours was built by Steel City too. Once you measure your saw's plate you probably will get the Delta model too. I bought this for my Sears model 152.221140 table saw - it did not fit.
