If the wood grain is the boss of the cut, the bandsaw is simply not set up properly. Could even be that the blade is not sharp enough, but something needs to be adjusted. Perhaps even the user's feed...

You must've also voted the same way in the last 6 or so federal elections? ;)

With the high-end machines like what you have, it may be easy to resell a part like that since factory replacements are very pricey. With junk machinery like I have, I hang on to the grizzly factory...

Sounds to me like someone is ready to move out of town?

Not offensive, but not very relevant either. Remember John, not all these projects are being done for you or by home hobbyists for their grandmas. These projects are being done for customers who pay...

I would keep it until I had a project which required ebony, rather than trying to invent a project in which to use ebony because I have it. But that's just me.

No problems with Bubinga and Titebond III. Cocobolo is a bit like teak, so titebond III should be ok. Edge gluing even long grain of ipe (lapacho specifically) was so frustrating even with titebond...

why not cut sheets that thin with snips instead? decent tin snips will leave a perfect edge

my Hettich catalog is in the shop, but pretty certain they have it, also look at Grass

rounded tenons to fit your drilled holes are a practical solution

This circuit should be 12/2 wire and 2 pole 20A breaker. There are no allowable circumstances for 20A breaker to be used with 14 gauge wire.

Four letters, IRON.

Bench dog and General both have iron tables with cutouts for inserts and rails for accessories. By far better than MDF and all that other soft junk. If you want it to last,...

Are you sure the table is square to the blade? A tilted table would produce wedge shaped boards.

I too have used MDF before, but would never dare to do so on an exterior door. Even the humidity (100%) for months on end around here would sog that up and warp it. It will have to be foam, like in...

I am going to be building a carriage door style garage door, each of the two slabs 58" wide x 78" high x 2" thick. Basic design is 2 stiles, three rails. Between the upper two rails (about 12") is...

Mike did not ask whether he "should" cut the hole, he asked how he should cut the hole. I am sure he is old enough to have decided whether or not this is the best course of action and answer him...

I have about 8 or 9 various LXt tools. Some are useless, like the circular saw, some are very good, like the drill you mention. The battery problems have gotten worse over the years, not better. Now,...

Hence the natural conclusion, stick with one of the dozens of brands of Co-Matic feeders. Widely available parts, and industrial reliability on par with any italian machine.

If you just use one layer of 3/4" ply, the weight of the TV will over time sag the upper board and it will be garbage. No matter what joint you use it will fail. Try to laminate up 2 layers of 3/4"...

I had the exact same thing happen to me as well when I was very new to table saws. Also the worst hit I ever felt, and to this day I am really really glad that table saws are not 2 inches lower or...

Motors are not rated "saw duty" or "planer duty". You need to verify the RPM's required on your planer motor, and you need to verify motor frame, ie, mounting bolt locations. If those two things...

If you have problem getting amazing results from a Leigh D4R, you are doing it wrong. Setup and patience is everything. You need to be patient, read, understand and follow the instructions. Who cares...

I am sure the price is dependent on your location across the country, but around here black walnut goes for 6 or 7 bucks a BF for 4/4 stuff.

Why not make the molding yourself? After all, woodworking is more than just buying stuff and nailing it together right?

The grizzly 453 is a "generic 4-post" design. The Byrd Shelix head you want for it fits about 20 different planers. Most of them, whether powermatic, steel city, grizzly, shop fox or whatever color...
