And it sure sounds to me to be exactly what you did. I don't see anything about table saws in the definition of kickback.

This precise injury was by far the worst I've had yet in woodworking (knock on, well, you know...). Mine required a trip to the ER, a lot of cleaning and debriding and stitches. The Dr. said I was...
I'm not saying that you should forget about the screws and rout your slots, but when I decided that I wanted a little wider chamfer on the leading edge of my outfeed table I found out that a carbide...
Erik, I totally respect your experience and position, and of course you are correct that many shops are indeed extremely well served by Tersa heads. There's no question that it's a very nice system...
Prashun, I've weighed in on the Tersa vs. spiral head issue before and I would take the spiral every time. Tersa is really easy to change, and when they're fresh, they leave a sweet surface. But at...
I previously owned a Kapex, ended up having to sell it, and have now ended up with a 12" Bosch Glide. I can honestly say that I do think that the Festool is the better tool, but it's not worth the...
I too want to say that I very much appreciate Derek's reviews. For every market segment there is a wide range of price vs. function vs. refinement. Nobody needs the most expensive version of...
Your full bevel is too wide for the table saw blade, so you'll probably want to finish on the planer, but you can sidestep the first 10 or so passes through the planer by using a 90° sled on the...
I have the older version of the fence in question, and I would have trouble recommending it for someone looking for solid, basic operation. I like Woodpecker's stuff, and there's no question that...
Sign me up! Thanks!
Sweet plane! Thanks!
Yes please! Thank you!

Having worked with both Tersa and Byrd heads in a production shop, Ive come to the opposite conclusion as Larry. I'd choose Byrd (or Grizzly) every time. Way less tearout with the spiral heads, and...
You can buy them from Southern Tool or Osolnik Machinery online. Or your local Woodcraft can look them up and order them. They will be drop shipped from Jet wherever you buy them from. But I agree...
That's basically the construction that Danny Proulx advocates in his books. His method uses mdf or melamine and confirmat screws, but the idea is the same. I've built several shop cabinets that way...
I second the call for PM2000 inserts. The phenolic ones are very useful, but I would really like to be able to use simple plywood replacement strips. This is an accessory that I'm happy to pay...
I believe Delta scrapped the GR450, and are either releasing a new product or at least a redesigned version. McFeely's is now selling Sheppach slow speed and VS grinders for around $120-140. Might be...
It's beautiful. I think you nailed the shape - not stocky at all. Who cares if some people don't like feet, if you feel like a piece should have a foot, then put a foot on it. :)
Hey, that Tormek looks familiar...
Cool setup. I've thought about grabbing a surplus dental light myself.
SUVA guards cost about $2000. That's an expensive guard for a DJ20!
Right on both counts, Rick!
Steve, I'm pretty much following the recipe here: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?102818. I'm using the exact same VFD as Dave. The motor I bought is a Leeson 115828, which is a 2hp,...
Peter, I never really made friends with the controls on the Nova, and I always felt like I had to use excessive force with the banjo and tool post locks. Plus, I wanted more swing over the bed. The...
