At Brodhead, late Saturday afternoon, Ken Perkins' 'A' engine suffered aproblem that was described to me as "The magneto coupling failed.". Sincemy Piet also has an 'A', I can't help but be interested in the details aboutwhat happened, so that I might avert a similar failure. Does anyone knowexactly what failed and how?Visiting Brodhead and meeting some of you in the flesh was GREAT! I'malready working on my wife about going again next year.Keep'n my fingers crossed in Washington,Larry PrangeNX1929A________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Planer Help?????Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2005 15:16:43 -0500

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Planer Help?????Jack T,Since you brought it up I will comment on the subject. I have mostly Delta tools in my shop as that was what was offered at the PX where I shop. I wish Ihad gone elsewhere. Drill Press. Chuck hangs up when trying to go to large shank drills10 in Table saw. So cheaply built one can't saw a true straight cutMitre Saw. Have never been able to square the blade verticallyElectric sander. satisfactoryMikita drill, Cut off saw and Bosch grinder are all great.What I'm trying to say is go the extra money and get something better than DeltaDon't have a planer or joiner as I have access to the woodshop At Barksdale where they have heavy professional grade equipment.________________________________________________________________________________

I didn't hear about his problem, but I do know he only runs one mag. I boughtone of his double mag set ups and it is on my engine now and working fine so far.I'd very much like to hear what happend as well since my crank driven mag is thesame set up.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Planer Help?????Date: Fri, 5 Aug 2005 08:40:12 -0500
