Hi-
I have researched all the threads on the Grizzly G1026 3HP shaper and the older average opinion seems to be luke warm at best. Grizzly is running a free shipping promotion and I am stuck w/o a...

I was leaning toward the Infinity blade back around Jan/Feb and all of a sudden Amazon came out with a deal for about $74.00 on the 10" Freud Fusion blade so for me, price won out. It is my...

You know, that 15% combined with their ($10 off on $50) project card that's going around could make for some outstanding deals!!! that would give you a Bosch VS ROS for about $49.50 + tax. But will...

Thanks again all for brainstorming a solutuion. Really, the gap is only visible if you look at it from the end and put a light behind it. Cosmetics isn't my issue, losing joint efficiency was, even...

Good grief that is gorgeous!! But isn't it top heavy? how wide at the base?

I am very much interested in your storage solution for the "pile of hardwood cutoffs".

I am sure that my explanation and description of the problem could use improvement, but if you happen to have a CMT catalog or a Sommerfeld catalog, there is always a page in there that...

Trimming would work but I will have to trim back along the long edges of the stiles as well. The long edges seat into and are in proper contact with their corresponding shoulder cuts on the rails.

I have 20 cope & stick type cabinet doors in-process, all pieces cut and ready for glue-up. When checking fit in the coped end during setup, I missed seeing a very slight gap of about .010"-.012"...

Of course I meant what I said. Most pro shops will set up this way.

One thing I forgot to mention is in regard to cutting narrow panels. Here is a trick that is useful (and safer)...

Cutter on top is by far the safest setup. You should not need to exert much downward pressure if your panel is properly flattened beforehand. The downward shear angle of the blades will exert the...

Here is another tip worth looking at: get the March issue of Fine Homebuilding and look at the "Tips & Techniques" section on page 32. There is an illustration of using pairs of plywood panels...

Feeling better Ian? Lot's of moral support here, this is a good site. Why not get back to your original issue - cutting a straight line. Maybe it's not you, maybe it's the wood! If you are...

I'm with Greg on the Stanley jointer. I have two, just bought the second one for $10 at a flea market. It took me about 4-5 hours all told to true it and sharpen it but enjoyed the time spent. ...

3 years ago I bought a used shaper for the specific purpose of cabinet door making. I invested in the Freud RS insert cutter and although this thing has a steep learning curve (for me) I am glad I...

Try to get the Fine Woodworking issue from Aug 2006 - there was a review of about nine different ROS sanders. The article mentioned that the Klingspor model 1893 looked almost identical...

I thought your method for hanging upper cabs was very interesting and maybe even brilliant, but would like to know a little more about it. The only way I can figure this would work is if your...

For those that questioned my conclusion, since you asked, I believe that the difference in dust control between the EQ125 and say, a Bosch when both are hooked to the same shop vac will perform...

Well I didn't think a simple question about Festool discounts would collect such an interesting variety of opinions and emotion. But the lively discussion has helped me conclude that one Festool...

It seems that any Festool dealer, on-line or local, has the same tools at the same price and even sites that offer 10% discounts off your complete shopping basket are required to exclude all Festool...

Hello All_
I am aware of the strong sentiment that goes along with owning a Festool sander and hope to get advice from some of those folks.
My present ROS and I parted company after ~15+ years of...

Thanks fella's-
I feel like I have been well schooled tonight! I was really expecting a mention of factor's like 75% to double on the "perfect" estimate. In fact I will probably go for double since...

Hi all-
I am hoping for some help from folks who buy and use rough lumber for your projects. If you sketch out and calculate all pieces of wood needed for a couple of cabinet doors and face...

Hello all-
I am planning on making new doors for this kitchen to dress it up a little. I will make painted rail & stile type doors (maybe with an arch!) and then was thinking about running a large...

Alan-
The answer to your question depends on what type of service you need for the second saw that you want to buy. I have had a couple of Craftsman lightweights for my extra's and they work fine...

"...my whole kitchen is poplar face frames, drawer fronts, rails and stiles with MDF panels....."

Really?~!!! Decision is now made and poplar it will be for me. Did you post any pictures of your...
