Thanks guys for the suggestions! I'm going to try and find the latest Woodworkers Journal. I also like the suggestions in Tim and Thomas's suggestions. I will experiment on some of the drop to see...
Can one of the Creekers give me a heads up? I am working on a small folding leaf table. Something of a copy of the "Stickley" style. Through tennon stretchers with square features. The wood is the...
Ok what we are talking about here is the electric motor brake. Not really a deal breaker. Most of the larger saws have the mechanical foot brake and microswitch anyway. I have a Griz 0636X...
The VAcuum being a given, I would probably keep the Guided saw. I think it is a close thing with the 5" sander though.

Cameron, Sorry for the delayed reply I was visiting family out of state. I responded to one of your earlier posts. Responding to the TJ I am doing a bunch of re-sawing of White oak recovered...
Cameron,
I would say yes, but I could be considered biased! I haven't used the Laguna but have the MM 16. I'd say the guides go to the MM though the Griz guides are more than adaquate. Supprizingly...
Group,
I just recieved my new band saw, a Grizzly G0636X. (17" Ultimate band saw) I am very impressed with the level of quality Grizzly is providing with this saw. One thing to mention is that this...
Dave I have used the drill press to make many rosettes and it works fine. What I do is to set up the cutter at a medium speed, and use a side support that attaches to T nuts in the slot on my DP. I...
I have an old PC 24" Omnijig and love it. Built like a tank, lifting it is my only complaint. So sturdy it will take a minor cup out of softwood when clamping. Carefull setup will make your first...
I know this saw is relatively new for Grizzly, I wondered if any one on the forum has tried one yet? I do both metal and wood working so the multiple speed would be a real boon for me.
I build...
This is an awesome contribution.
Count me in

One of the previous posters mentioned the quality of cut on the Festool TS55. I Totally agree. I have a bit larger than 8' of rail and use nothing else for plywood. Something to mention about the...
Chris,
I also recomend the TS 55 guide rail combo. My dealer says that one of the short rails is supposed to come with the saw. I bought another short rail and connectors. I don't do enough cutting...
I really like it. The saw has higher capabilities than the operator. The OEM blade on the Bosch also seems to work a bit better than the others I have used. I would have looked into the Milwaukee if...
Rich,
I really like mine. My blade leaves no ridges. The blade is OK for an occasional cross cut, but the likely problem is chip out on the bottom. a proper cross cut or finishing blade does a...
Simon, Being civil as was suggested, yours seems a singular experience. Per Swenson is a full time pro and his SawStop probably sees 200% of the use that we duffer hobbiest types and has no...
The Saw Stop is the best designed table saw I've ever been able to look INSIDE of. There was a lot of thought that went into the design. There are several features that are better than I have seen on...
Wayne,
I don't know what the problem you are having is, as mine is the old 24" omnijig. I can tell you this though if you have to move the bit 1/8 INCH :eek: there is something radically wrong with...
Or the lack of education! I'm not very old, yet when I was in school we had to take a shop class (wood or metal) in high school. It seems like today the most technical thing most high-schoolers learn...
Ok I'm going to cut loose on this one. The HD's in my area simply stink, they are rank, low, trashy pond scum. (Tell us how you really feel Bill) I understand that there are supposed to be some...
Hi Creekers, Happy easter,
I have some 100 year old redwood. That is since milled, not a young tree. My trouble is that although redwood is fairly pest resistant this is so old and dryed out that...
I have had poor results from the original GG and I'm reluctant to use anything other than Titebond. I've been having great success with that since building flying models in the late 70s! I have some...
Jim, Fine if you have one and the space to use it. I would maintain that even if somebody has a nice TS and the wide fence capacity that many people have trouble with large sheets on the TS. I was...
I do have a Festool 55 Circ Saw & rails. The thing that may have been said in the other threads is that the Festool is that they have an edge that is actually cut by the blade so that it prevents...
First, Getting back to the original post if you got the TIR (total indicated runout) to .004 on a 10" blade that is fine. If the arbor has .001 then it will multiply. With respect to the arbor runout...
