I've a bunch of their router bits and tools. All work very well and I've had no issues. The most useful has been the cabinet groove system. I use it for building boxes, edging plywood ... there is a...

You can get the 140 in a left and a right model ... You need the variation depending on the rise/fall of the grain on the edge you are doing the cut ... Planes were a lot cheaper in the ole' days...

Actually, shouldn't you use a Left or Right Skew block plane with nickers, such as LN sells for this task? I believe it is like the Stanley 140 ...

I saw an interesting way of making an inset drawer in a build-it article.

First, the author cut an inch or so off of the bottom of the apron of the side which would have the drawer. Then, he cut...

I'll be there Saturday and if there is anything good going on, Sunday, too!!

I've used the Infinity blade and they are very good. Nice people to deal with, also. The Tenryu blade was recently at the top of the list with Forrest WWII and Freud's blade as best of the group in a...

For the money it is impossible to go wrong with the Dewalt. It made by the same company as the Excaliber. Check out some of the scroll saw forums on the internet. You can Google "scrollsaw". Most...

Steve ... I've also got the Wixley and now, could not live without it. My experience is similar to yours. I mounted mine with pop rivets because of problems with the tape. This is a great product.

Carl ... If your saw is vibrating at high speed, increase the tension on the blade. Also, check to see that the blade is not slipping through the mounts and getting loose. I've one of the Dewalt...

I need to clean the sawdust out of the base every couple of months. I've been wondering if waxing the chute would help out!?! I believe I will also mount my AC cord off of the dust chute to another...

I think it's a "pay yer money, takes yer choice" kinda thing. I've the Tormek and it does a fine job for me.

Basically, the Tormek is made in Scandinavia and labor costs are higher than in Asia,...

I've been using a window mounted heat pump in my 12x24 shop. It keeps it nice and warm in the winter and nice and cool in the summer. Not too bad on electricity, either.

I've had my lift for over a year and use it fairly heavly. The original batteries are still in it and working well. The rings seem OK on mine, but good to know about the JessM ones.

All the best...

Yea, I bought one of these a few months ago. It's an amazing tool!! It really helps with my aging eyes. I've been drilling holes spot on ever since I've gotten it.

I've a complete Jointech system on my tablesaw, the clincher, smart fence, Phenolic tables, etc.

The very best part of this system (IMHO) is the Jointech router lift. Expensive but really makes...

Over the past decades, I've had excellent luck with referb equipment. I have bought it, not only for woodworking, but for all of my other "hobbies" and have never been dissappointed.

You must...

I've both the digital and an analog caliper. I find that I pickup the analog more often. It is much quicker to look at the analog dial for relative reference than use the digital and have to actually...

I don't know if anyone who had the early system received a "fix" but I bought the kit back in March and there were no problems with it. i.e. - it was "fixed".

I've both a digital caliper and a dial caliper marked off in 1/64's. I find I pick up the dial caliper most often. Although the digital caliper reads off in fractions, I find that I can interpret the...

I've the smaller Grex, myself. All of my other nailers are PC ... Although I have been satisfied, I thought I would try something different. I really like the Grex. Works GREAT!! Now I'm thinking I...

Yes, I've been using the new "fusion" blade for a few months. I was using the WWII before that, but like the cut of the freud better!! That's saying a bunch!! The sides of the cut look better than...

Believe me when I say I am not a Ryobi fan ... HOWEVER, I've the Ryobi 18v CS and love it. I've had it for about 3 years and it has never failed me. This is one fine little saw. My "big" CS is a...

I've a small shop, too ... and I find that I need both. The saw with the rail system (I've a Festool TS55) comes in handy for cutting down sheet goods and cutting longer boards to shorter stock for...

Microjig splitter ... no guard.

If you've a router, route them away with a fllush trim bit. Less chance of sanding through the plywood. Another possibility is using a plane and skewing the plane while you plane off the stock. HAND...
