I agree with others. It is hit and miss. I have gotten some really good deals off of ebay. The biggest thing with ebay is the shipping. I got a technomax line bore machine which is about $7500 in the...

I build all my cheaper boxes out of 3/4 inch melamine , you can get quite a few solid colors and different types of woodgrain finishes. The companies that make really cheap boxes use 5/8 material...

Sounds like you only have 20 amps, secondly a 220 volt breaker requires a strap by code ,so both legs are turned off together. All the best.

I wouldn't do anything at this point, loop the wire at the panel and leave a cover plate on the box, when the time comes put the appropriate end and breaker for the machine you will be using. No use...

When we build drawers we always make measurement A 1/2" and measurement B 1/4", allot of our drawers are made out of white melamine, the particle core is quite abit weaker, you could probably go 3/8"...

I have a central switch but the remote sounds like a good idea. I have a 3 phase dust collector, can you add a remote for this machine?

I sometimes use the radial arm saw for dados, when using a radial arm saw you are left with a thickness of material that is always constant. We build a lot of cabinets with birch plyd and it is...

Jeff,

I live in Alberta Canada, and here your full load amps can only be 80% of your breaker size, so any machine with a FLA of 17 or more has to be on a 30 amp breaker. I am sure that is overkill in most...
