Thanks guys. Alex, I appreciate your comment. I actually did not think about it much, but now that you mention it... it does look wrong. I was almost out of Maple and didn't have enough to finish...

For my New Years resolution I resolved to fix two of my remaining dust collection problems.. My CMS and my router. I designed my own dust hood after seeing some examples other people were using. I...

I received this quite a while ago, but never got around to posting it. We have communicated several times and thought you would enjoy seeing the Mission this pen has been put to. Enjoy:

Mr....

I'm approaching your question from a beginner’s point of view since I'm just a step ahead of you. My advice would be to start simple and inexpensively. I added to my skill base and tool base as I...

I just purchased a digital camera on line and one of the many web sites I used for research let people that purchased the camera write a review. They counted the overall thumbs up and thumbs down so...

I wear these goggles from Woodcraft that have foam around them. It get's complicated when I'm wearing my dust mask, Eye Goggles and hearing protection. There is a certain order to putting it all on...

I have a 625. It came with a clear plastic dust port but I could never figure out how to get it on and it's still in the box. I try to do all my work on the router table where I have dust...

Thanks Jim and Greg,
I think I will take back the 1/4" ply I bought and upgrade it to some half inch mdf based on your recommendation. I'll post some picks when I have something to show for it.

Sorry Robert and friends to cause this confusion. I have only had my benchtop planer for a year and when I was looking it came down to the Delta 2 speed and the Dewalt. Both had fixed height...

Do you have a bench? I built one and made it the focal point of my shop. I am building rolling cabinets for all my power tools including my bench top planer. My plan is to not build...
