I'd suggest going with Jets. Call Timberline Tools in Orem Utah. I bought all mine from them and they have had the best price in the nation. To the extent possible I like my clamps to be the same so...

Milwaukee had a deal when you bought the V28 Cordless set you could choose a free tool or battery. I chose the V28 1/2 impact tool and sent the form off the day I got the set from Amazon. The tool...

No TV, just an Apple speaker box for my iPod. I think TV would distract me a be unsafe. Though I am thinking of getting a set of Bose Quiet Comfort 3's to wear in the shop.

For decades all I used was 3/4" Jorgenson pipe clamps. A few months back I boought four 24" and four 48" Jet parallel clamps. After using them I bought four more 24's, four 31's. four 60's and four...

When faced with the same decision I bought a top and lift and made the base. I bought a Woodpecker top for 109 and a PRL for 269. I then made a base out of baltic purch plywood. The PRL is for the...

I have a 15HH and don't have any problems turning it. You just have to muscle one end around to steer it. Though my concrete floor is very smooth and that may make it easier. I bought a Hoverpad to...

Why don't you buy a Petzel type LED headlamp setup and find a way to mount it to the router?

My wife says overkill is my middle name. It must be as I just bought a 1 HP Steff Maggi 2038 CI for my 5 HP PM shaper. It's an 8 speed 3 wheel size but with tractor feed instead of wheels. So far I...

Only one word needs to be said: Starrett.

I keep an extra standard but not an extra dado.

When my SS was delivered the delivery guy (about 140# soaking wet) and me (a whole lot bigger) got it of the lift gate and on the base with no problems. I subsquently wanted to modify the base (not...

After using the Jets I wouldn't buy Bessey unless they were an absolute steal.

I've got a Bosch 1295 DVSK and recomend it highly.It and the Bosch 1/2 sheet sander make quite a good team. DC on both is pretty good too; not up to Festool but then these are affordable!

Man, it's funny that you mentioned that because that is just what I did. I have two sets of older more generic chisels. I noticed that my favorite size is the half inch so, on a lark, I ordered the...

I've got a 45k HotDawg and keep it set at 50 when I'm not out there. When I'm going to work I bump it up to about 66 and find that comfortable. When set at 50 it must not run because when I come out...

Rod,

I agree with your first statement 100%. Your long term health demands a good DC.

As to the overhead DC I'm not sure waht you are saying. By itself it is not anywhere near sufficient....

I've had plenty of kickbacks over the years on sws without a riving knife. Since I upgraded to a SawStop I really see the value in the riving knife and would not purchase a saw without one. I think,...

I've got a 1296 DVSK and it does a great job and hasn't failed. I'm actually thinking off buying another one so I can leave pads on and switch grits quicker. OTOH hand I too am considering a 6". I'...

My wife was skeptical when UPS sent a truck out with nothing on it but the eight boxes of my Oneida 2.5 HP Super Dust Gorilla. Now that it;s installed and in use she is amazed at how clean the garage...

Joe,
Pardon my ignorance, but what are the "zip-r's" you are referring too? Are they something as obvious as drywall or square drive screws or something different. I guess I just haven't heard the...

I recently moved to Colorado from California. Thankfully my company paid for the move; but the moovers wouldn't move my ammo, powder or primers. We left that stuff there and then rented a Toyata...

I've got the Duraline Hi A/T 80T and have never seen a better cut on plywood. Combo blades are great and that's what lives on the saw most of the time. But I'm thinkig of getting the WW II 20T rip...

One thing that should be noticed is the substantial pallet the machine came on and that it had a stout wooden box built aound it. I've been very impressed with the way WMD shipps the PM and Jet...

Matt,
You mentioned "propped up on one foot" and are correct. I framed houses for a few years (West Coast) and that was how most lumber was cut. If guys reading these posts have never hung around a...

Frank,
I find a lot of people don't know how to use a worm drive saw; they want to push it like a sidewinder rather than letting the weight of the saw do the work as often as possible.
