Are you saying that the switch has two screws on one end, and one screw on the other ? If so, that's a 3-way, and the pair of wires are travelers, they go to the other matching switch. Do not...

I've had the switch go bad as well. First pull it out and test it, if not working contact Bosch for a replacement. While you're waiting, take the switch apart, clean and test again, likely you'll...

When looking for a saw, i stopped at a borg, and the salesman picked up a Milwaukee, held it at arms length, straight out, then turned it on. Then we did that with a few others. I later bought the...

No, haven't determined the cause, hoping to get some hints, seems to be a lot a variables. The varnish was thinned, otherwise it either didn't come out of the gun or was dry. (Too much "wet" and...

Thanks Mac, yes, it's marine Spar varnish by Interlux Schooner.
Instructions call for 3-5 coats, by foam brush, and I figure a spray coat is thinner, therefore will need more coats. So far I have...

Doing a stitch & glue kayak, with varnish deck.
I've sprayed (hvlp) several coats of varnish, but I'm getting an orange peel finish.
What do do next ? Continue on, light sanding, major sanding ?...

Sorry Kyle, but your answer doesn't fit a simple "check"

Circumference is Pi * D, 30 in dia * 3.14 = 94.2 total circle,
original post was half circle, 8 pieces, so 94.2 / 2 = 47.1 / 8 = 5.88...

A minor issue with using circumference is the boards are flat, not rounded.
Don't suppose it would make much difference however.

What you have are 8 triangles with the sides being the radius and...

Go to the store and take a close look at it.
Last year I too was looking for a similar package and the Craftsman sounded good, had some nice features. but I wasn't comfortable with the "look and...

Needed more epoxy for the pair of kayaks my brother and I are building, and did some shopping. Ended up at RiverMarineSupply, their price on a gal of MAS + 1/2 gal of hardner, was about $30-40 less...

I see no one has suggested staying with the Bosch kit, more confirmation.

Rob, is your adaptor the Bosch one ? RA1100

I see at MLCS a brass templet kit, says it works with a 1 3/16 center...

I have the Bosch 1617EVS router, and decided to invest in the templet guide kit. However, after reading various reviews at amazon, the general feeling is, don't, the Bosch quality didn't make it...

Seems the individual stores have a lot to do with it.

I'm in the Chicago limits, there are several HD's, a Menard's, and a Lowe's within reasonable distance, and a few more farther away.

For...

Bought my first router, and building a table.
I've a piece of left over counter top, 30 x 24, pretty close to the commercial tables, good for a starter table i figure.
Since I don't have space to...

Like Chris, it hit me a few issues back that it wasn't very useful, a closer look seems to be ads for products in the guise of "articles".
My last subscription issue came a couple weeks ago, read...

I too like shopnotes, but Workbench didn't make the last renewal cut, the last issue didn't even make it to the magazine stack, went straight to 'recycle'. And i don't recycle magazines (just ask my...

Bad experiences always show up, however, great service needs mentioning too.

I finally decided to buy the Bosch 1617EVSPK router and did some searching around. Among others, found CoastalTool. I...

Newbie looking to buy first router.

Noticed this Craftsman (28084) at Sears as well, and have been searching the forums for comments. I've also run into a lot of references to the Bosch 1617. ...

My brother has a 333, and I bought a 343 for our kayak build project.
Two items are the 8 hole ("standard") paper vrs the 5 hole on the 333,
and the dust port on the 343 can take a standard hose...

My brother and I are building a pair of kayaks, that use quite a number of epoxy coats.
However, 10 min into the first coating, in a garage, I started getting a headache. I quickly went to a...

Thanks all, a whole bunch of leads

Jason, that's an interesting idea, could even leave off the hooks and return to PSA.

Have the PC333 ROS sander, and the H&L pad has lost it's grip.

Do these things wear out rather quickly ?
Will a 8 hole pad from the PC343 work on the PC333 (to replace the 5 hole)?
Where to find...

Doug, I'm on my second cup of coffee, so maybe this will help.

Follow the band around until you hit the zig-zag, the LH one turns left (of course the RH one turns right). No matter which way you...

Jonathon,

Do spend some research time with Bill Pentz at www.billpentz.com, select the "dust collection & cyclone" link.
You're right to be concerned about your family with an attached shop.

Great pics Sparky, great start.
My brother and I are about one stage ahead of you on a pair of CLC Mill Creek 16.5's .. our first time.
Couple of tips we've learned ... keep it warm, very warm,...
