Thanks for reminding me that there are also the newer but more expensive brushless motor powered drills and impact drivers.

I understand the difference between brushed and brushless motors and...

Thanks for all your inputs. I will replace the regular bits with impact ones when needed. However I had better get some Phillips type bits as these are quite commonly used.

At first I was...

I am thinking of buying a Bosch 12v impact driver and am wondering whether I can use my regular screw driver bits and sockets with it . I am only using this for hobby projects and not for...

I dont need the table saw to be super stable as I do not intend to build furniture. Just need a bit more capacity and a larger table so that's why I thought of something like a Refurb or used Dewalt...

I started in this R/C airplane hobby in the late 60's. In the 90's I was into giant scale then 50cc class aerobats and also turbine powered planes much later . Full blown Turbines are now too...

When I purchased mine used from craigslist , it included the improved adjustable fence and miter gauge. I built a crosscut sled for it . The saw is invaluable for my r/c model airplane build...

I use a discontinued Dremel 580 4 inch table saw for my r/c model airplane hobby. It's versatile and have quite a lot of following with quite a few 3rd party accessories. Purchased mine from local...

This is the Dremel Table Saw I am using. It has been out of production for quite a while . The saw has become a sought after item for hobbyist with several after market accessories made by various...

I have a small Dremel 4 inch Table saw that I use a lot when building model airplanes and small hobby stuff. Actually I am surprised that it can cut 1/2 inch maple or oak with a good Tenryu carbide...

I finally built this: 309069309070

It works quite well except for very fine dust . Overall I am quite happy with it.

Dust deputy was my other alternative. I would have to mail order.

Yes 4 inch is definitely too large. I was thinking of using 3 inch elbow and a shortened 2.25 inch shopvac extension wand as the output .

Did you use a 4 inch inlet elbow? Tks

I intend to build a Thein separator based on a 5 gallon paint pail feeding a 8 gallon Shop vac . All the pictures and docs I have seen shows the inlet elbow to be 4 inches . This seems excessively...

No. I mean when I buy a new piece of 8x4 from lumber yard.

This is a silly question from a newbie . How does one identify factory cut edges besides visual inspection ? Do manufacturers of the ply or mdf sheets mark them in same way ? Tks

You are both correct . No need for bushing in fixed base. Tks

It looks like you are right. The center hole of plunge base plate is 1 3/16 but the center hole of the D shaped fixed base plate is 1 1/2 . So either have to buy a round plate .

Tks

Please advise which manufacturers template guide set would fit the Dewalt 611PK router set? Tks

The last time I checked some years ago , the pink or blue foam sheets were quite expensive for 2 inch thick ones that I use for cutting foam wings . Maybe the 1/2 inch ones are cheaper.

I need to...

Thanks guys . I will check out the pink or blue rigid foam.

Do the pink and blue foam generate lots of beads like the white foam stuff? If not they would be ideal because they will be much lighter than ply, mdf or hardboard.

All hardboard are 1/8 inch and...

Tks for the suggestions above. I have used saw horses with several lengths of 2x4 across them as workpiece support . Works ok for straight cuts , never tried it with a router for circle cuts . I...

My work table is a solid wood door . Its nice and clean. When I build model airplanes, I lay a piece of ceiling acoustic tile as a temporary topper because I need to stick pins to hold the balsa over...

LOL ! :) Biggest and baddest is not always for me !
