The difference?
Well, Riving Knife has three syllables whereas Splitter only has two. Riving Knife sounds cooler, more European, more advanced, and Splitter sounds more after market, and American....
The flex tube DC connection has been around for a long time. I don't know who stole it from whom, but it doesn't matter, it's a good thing. My INCA 2200 has one and It works great. What's really...
Good question, I'm right handed. --go figure. But back when I attempted to play baseball, I bat just as poorly from either side. And I in Judo I usually played (fought) left handed.
You Don't Want It
YOU WANT TO SEND IT TO MEEEEEE.:D
You don't feel the need for such a machine.;)
It's too expensive for you. :eek:
I'll gladly take it for you....:D

You know it really sucks that you...
My right tilt table saw is ambidextrous, i.e. the rails can slide all the way to either side. So, I've always done what seemed easiest and safest. Without thinking about it too much, I found that I...
This whole discussion on confusion over numbers points out an interesting evolution in work place safety...or at least in dust collection.
Once upon a time people didn't care. Dust collection was...
Not to defend the big boxes, but...
Their subs have to be insured, bonded, drug tested, and legal residents (technically). And they back their services and products with their warrantees--which can...
It's a great little tool. Very convenient. Great for smaller ventures without lots of hose, and heavy loud compressors. Portability without a battery or gas.
I got the free full canister with my...
Some time ago Fein licensed the oscillating design to Proxxon, and thus they provided a mini-delta sander (interesting Fein USA had nothing to do with this and I heard they would have preferred a...
Just went through the search myself... GEE. I wish Baltic Birch could be found for 20.00 per sheet. That would be nice.:(
I finally found some at ACM: 1/2 Russian for about 34.00 sheet, 1/2 (from...
That was the third option I was going to mention:) But I haven't done it yet. An architect friend of mine recommended it, including filling in the gap between the edge of the glass and the side of...
For kitchen type cabinets, clear silicon is the way to go. Be sure all finish is applied first, and don't get too messy. Lay your door flat put a bead of caulk on the inside, and set the glass. If...
Think speaker box. MDF is one of the best materials for speaker boxes. Nice and dense, and not as prone to resonate. Now throw in some sort of sound sucking material on the inside of the box...uh,...
I was once a mighty fine (home) painter. I could, and can, paint better with a brush than most people can spray (think glossy front door). To accomplish that I have to use the best quality brush and...
My new D4R
For years I have wanted to get a dovetail jig, then a fortunate event gave me an opportunity to buy one --a customer (mom) needs a bunch of trays/drawers for a kitchen cupboard. Sure I could use some...
The guy at Woodcraft recommended it, he said they were using it on all their floor models now. Well, with a lot of scouring, it did clean the table up; however, my table saw top is NOT smooth, it has...
I bought a $5.00 special a couple weeks ago for a small customer project. The Whiteside bit would have been $30+. I did notice a difference in performance (which surprised me), but the job got done...
Not the definitative answer.
Festool's Parrent company--or at least their original name--is Festo. We only get part of what they do in the US.
Festo has several lines which include:...
Ditto, but for me it was 9 years ago. I also liked the ability to move the rails to either side of the blade thus alowing the blade to tilt away from the fence (like a left tilt) simply by moving the...
My saw only came as a right tilt, but if I want or need the blade to tilt away from the fence, I put the fence on the left of the blade.
I'm so used to this procedure, I just put the fence where...
First question, why does it have to be sprayed? furniture painted with a good brush (with good paint) is classic.
It's been a while since my painting days, but low VOC paint tends to be...
All is going well on the job site, I just submitted another bid for more work, and if all goes well, I'll get to build a new mega-mantle aronud the 52" Sony LCD. The Home owner really likes our work,...
Being the father of eight children--most of whom are home schooled--and maintaining a home office has necessitated the frequent use of a pencil sharpener.
Regrettably they are almost all junk. I'm...
Part with my INCA!?:eek:
Several years ago I considered it. It just didn't seem right for such a nice tool to go unused. But now It won't go anywhere, unless I manage to upgrade to a fine...
