I am unfamiliar with Shop Fox but it looks identical to Grizzly. I would like to have some opinions from owners with hands on experience. I am considering the cabinet saw with slider. ...

Thanks Peter and everyone. That is what I was afraid I might hear. I know that combination machines are just that and have some limitations but the quality issues are what I want to avoid. I am...

Does any one here have one of the Laguna combination machines. http://www.lagunatools.com/combo/combo-platinum5f-sch I am in the market for a table saw with scoring blade and am considering this...

I'll answer the last question first. Dust collection is essential and with any of the Festool vac's it is around 100% on flat work. I have a RO125 and a an ETS125, both 5 inch sanders. The ETS is...

Peter I don't have the luxury of time. I have a large job to start in a couple of weeks. I have a 3 hp Delta but need 2 to set up for rails and styles. I have looked on CL but not much close by. ...

The Jet had a very small table with little room in front of the miter slot with no provisions to add a table. I see that the Grizzly has that ability. Also has a spindle lock that you have to...

I am needing to add a couple of small shapers to my shop. I tried a 1 1/2 hp jet and did not care for it. I am looking at this Shopfox http://www.amazon.com/Shop-Fox-W1674-HP-Shaper/dp/B000J0WYEQ...

Thanks Jeff and everyone for the great responses. I am a little overwhelmed for now but will catch up on the reading later.

I keep running into these old wooden planes at antique stores and flea...

I have decided to start this thread to become educated about molding planes. Please chime in with any information that you feel is helpful. Makes,profiles,sharpening,using,good bad and ugly ...

No that qualify's for a much higher YOU SUCK worthy.:D

I have a couple of hand saws that I would like to have re-toothed. I cant find anyone in my area that even knows what re-toothing is much less have the ability to do it. The last ones I had done...

Nice job Jonathan! How did you clean the plate. I am just now getting interested in saw restoration and plan to start with my Grandfathers saw and a few passed on by a couple of Uncles.

What did he say? :D

Thanks Jim. They are actually Millers Falls planes. I know some of the screws are special made. I had a # 8 a few years ago that had a very strange tote screw. It was a no name plane. It also had...

I have 2 planes that have been undergoing restoration for a couple of years. I have either used the screws on other planes or just lost them. Does anyone know of a source for replacements?

John congratulations on your #3. Don't worry about overpaying by a few bucks. Good clean tools are hard to find and I would rather pay more for a good user than spend the same amount on 2 or 3 that...

Well I received the plane today. It is a 5 1/4. Although I now consider it a 9 on a 1 to 10 scale it did have some issues. First the blade and chip breaker were jambed in out of alignment on the Y...

Tony I have been in email contact with the seller. I posted here in the interim. Obviously he did not know what he had. It is the plane in the picture and I am 99.9% sure it is a 5 1/4 because of...

Tri good catch on the screw. My guess was a 5 1/4 based on the amount of space behind the tote and it just looks different that a 5 but pictures can be deceiving. Jim thanks for your generous offer...

Yes the price is correct. It pop up and I bought it immediately but I don't need a larger plane and I don't sell on ebay so watch the classifieds section here if you are interested. We should know...

In my hast to purchace a # 3 LN in a buy it now auction I failed to notice the location of the tote. I think it is a # 5 or # 5 1/4. What do you guys think. Any way it is in the mail.
