Elmer,
For general bandsaw use, I'd highly recommend a shop vac with homemade dust shroud immediately below the table.

Just gonna say that I got off my butt to renew membership so I could see your restoration pics, Brian.
Dusty lumber co has a YouTube video talking about sliders. He got the maksiwa
Glad you are okay.
The suggestion to review the workpiece is a good one.
The piece coming off the fence sounds most likely.
Any chance a rising bit working its way out of the collet could...
By mobile, do you mean able to roll around garage, or able to transport to other locations?
(mobile bases will cover the roll-around-garage need pretty well)
Based on post, I'd be considering a...
Table saw and drill press are the tools that I like the most for the consistent jobs they do.
1970s stanley #5 -- with cambered blade and mouth opened to act as a scrub is a tool that makes me...
Big saws are nice for: larger table, bigger throat capacity (forgetting to plan for the column is pretty annoying), and overall cutting power (blade speed, wider blade, etc.)
But, are you sure...
Watch Matt Cremona's shop build.
I use an old zircon and also try to capture a row of nailheads with a magnet to confirm.
It is fiddly, but missing the stud isn't fun, either.

Has anyone tried anti-static coatings on PVC to see if that helps reduce the charge buildup?
(first one that came up looked interesting, but pretty expensive)
Matt
Thanks for input.
The garage/shop will be used as a garage for one care in between projects, which has deterred me from looking further into the sleeper+osb workshop floor option, or even the heavy...
I'm planning to replace about 70% of the slab in my garage/workshop area do to some large/unstable cracks in the original (70 years old).
I wanted to sanity check what to expect during curing --...
I got an A3-31 used, with straight knives and dial indicator. Overall I've liked it. I'd recommend either tersa or carbide over traditional straight knives. Dial indicator is very handy. I did...
Snipe can be caused if the board isn't kept flat and either the leading or trailing edge tilt up into the cutterhead. This can be improved with improving support of the workpiece.
Snipe can also...
You can see someone with a Maksiwa at Dusty Lumber Co:

Is that an issue for light-weight shavings, as well?
How does it compare to an upright cyclone in terms of separation?
(I had a lot of trouble with cedar shavings going into my 1-stage collector...
That tire price seems surprisingly reasonable.
Did you need to order the 250 minimum?
And are these tires ones that need to be shaved and balanced after installation?

I used to keep a miniature utility knife from stanley on my keychain. Not a traditional knife, but I liked the size and the 1-handed operation. Not as good to keep on a keychain in the age of TSA....
I feel that the front-facing port compromises access to the space above it. Some shop layouts work with this in the corner, with the ducting coming up the adjacent wall, which seems like a decent...
Thanks for sharing -- how did you run across that channel?
There are some very interesting videos on that youtube channel--like the foam dispensers to keep blade clean when cutting green wood.

Ron,
Thank you and your team.
I've got your blades in all of my old stanleys--a #7, a #3 and a #5 set up as a scrub. I still need to stifle a bit of a giggle at how well that #5 works when...
At this point, is there a prefered air-quality measurement tool for the shop?
Are the purple air sensors useful for shop measurements?
(I'd bought a dylos years back, but it recently stopped...
That one is an excellent deal and is a nice-looking saw. This is the swiss-made version and it includes a lot of the accessories that can be hard to find now.
What are the dust fittings on the sawstop contractor saw? does it have a shroud around the blade going to a 2-1/2" or 4" port? do you have dust collection port above the blade?
I ran a jet...
