I'm a little confused, does the Thien baffle go on the bottom, next to the collection bag or on the top, next to the filter? I thought it went on the bottom, but when looking at some of the pictures...

Keith, Barry is correct, until you correct your measurement procedure you won't know for certain whether or not the saw is at fault. To visualize what he is saying think of zeroing the Wixey as...

I know you are supposed to place your oily rags in a bucket of water to prevent spontaneous combustion, but what do you do with the bucket of wet oily rags? I typically spread out my oily rags,...

I bought this jointer last spring for $239 and it works just fine for what I do. I put it on a mobile bass which adds a little cost, but everything seems to work just fine. The fence adjustment isn't...

Scott, I guess I'm not quite referring the same construction technique you are. The one I was referring to only used a 1/4" - 3/8" groove in the face frame to accept the carcass which is rabbeted to...

While you are technically correct, I doubt very many people didn't know what he was talking about, especially a woodworker.

Scott, I believe you are referring to a tongue and groove joint. I used...

If you want an inexpensive drill for mixing thinset I'd suggest this HF drill: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=47991. My brother bought one of these to screw his log...

I used the phenolic BB to replace the UHMW on my table saw fence and it seems to be holding up well, but I just replaced it early summer, so time will tell. It works great for a fence and seems to be...

I heat my shop/garage in the winter months (no higher than about 45 degrees unless I'm working) and when I park snow packed cars in the garage all the snow melts and drips onto the floor. So I'm sure...

Jeff, since you don't use a router that often you obviously still don't have the right router, you need to go shopping:D

Brian

I agree with your comment, but I think a little clarification may be in order. You are correct in that the web will experience a shearing force from an applied bending moment, such as might occur...

Larry,
I have the Jessem slider and like it a lot, but I still find myself reaching for my miter gauge a lot as it's more convenient than attaching and un-attaching the sliders fence. I also found...

I've tried finding Roo Glue before but didn't have any luck. Would you mind sharing where you were able to purchase it?

I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to, but your description sounds a lot like how linear bearings work, you know, the ones used in sliding compound miter saws. By the way, why is it that so...

I also have the TRC001 and just about finished my new table for it. I didn't know the Router Raiser would work with the TRC001, do they list it or is it compatible with another router model that you...

I seem to recall reading once that you can try nailing through a piece of cardboard, like a cracker box. I haven't tried it, but it might be worth a try. FWIW, I had the same problem and simply...

Jeff, your picture certainly makes it easier for everyone to be talking about the same thing. Greg is correct if he is measuring the bevel as Jeff shows it. I was measuring the central angle from...

I'm guessing we aren't talking about the same thing when we talk bevel. I'm referring to measuring the angle between opposite sides or ends of a board. If we are talking a board with an 11.25 degree...

Rick,
For starters 8 pieces with an 11.25 degree bevel will only give you 1/4 of a circle, not 1/2. I am assuming that when you talk about length of the pieces, you mean the distance from point to...

Hi Ryan, I live on the other side of town, in Eagan, but I do have some of the setup equipment that you need to adjust your table saw. I'm certainly not an expert at aligning things, as a matter of...

Another practical consideration is that if your saw is portable you might want to take it to a job site or a neighbors or something where 220V might not be available. Obviously you could always...

I'm in the process of building a fireplace mantel and need to glue several pieces of wood together. I know that typical yellow wood glue is heat sensitive, as you can use the iron on method for...

You could also consider fixing the gap with Bondo and then placing plastic laminate over the top of the existing laminate. Of course you may need to raise any T-lock track or miter gauge slots to...

Kevin,

I think your understanding is pretty good. The problem is as you are discovering, diagonal measurements don't provide the degree of precision you are looking for. For example, taking the...

I just bought one a week ago and installed it on my Griz 1023 last weekend. I found that the holes for attaching it to the saw needed to be elongated in order to set the table height correctly. They...
