OP, I agree that the Craftsman router you have appears to be "the same" (take that lightly since some specs might be different) as the Bosch 1617...

I have an identical setup of OF1010, OF1400 and DW618 Kit plus an old PC7518 in my table. (I don't use the latter as much since I got the CNC)

For the LOC you need that will also not chatter, you'll want to source .5" tooling. The reason for using the long LOC is so that you can do your profile cutting with a small allowance on all the...

Osage Orange isn't all that common to see in lumber form, especially in quantities...they trees tend to be pretty gnarly! One return I got via a Google search showed $20 a board foot. It's very hard,...

I can appreciate that thought, Edward. But SB&D has chosen DeWalt as their high end and Craftsman as their value line. They are going after Milwaukee with DeWalt at the pro level. I don't expect...

That's pretty doubtful, unfortunately. The sub-bases that screw on the bottom, yes, but not the actual fixed or plunge bases. I don't think they are going to fit other manufacturers' routers, but I...

They aren't what they used to be because they have not existed as a product being sold for many years now! The 800 series more or less replaced them but those are also gone now, too...there are no PC...

If you love the blues, stream this great show from WXPN.org in Philadelphia. The host, Johnny Meister has amazing knowledge and the show sets are always pleasing.

Outstanding restoration, Dennis. And I highly recommend retirement. But you already knew that. LOL

Ed, simply become a Contributor and you'll have access to the Private Messaging system as well as images and the Classifieds. The minimum ask is only $6 a year. Click on the "Donate" button up above...

Frank, to-date, I have not had any issues with my mini split filter getting clogged up here at the new shop nor at the old shop. (different units, of course, but same conditions) Now, I'm not a full...

I-81 between I-80 and Scranton "back in the day" was pretty nasty, too, based on my (likely feeble) memory.

The reason for the multiple filters is not for higher level of filtering like you would get with a thick (and expensive) filter; it's for keeping airflow from impeding the system. IE, "area".

For a shop of this size, you may want to consider working with Oneida, both for the "oomph" that's likely need to cover the space and tools, but to also get the most efficient design. Your...

They have no heads, so shot straight in, they don't have a lot of "holding" power. Now shoot them in at random angles and they are a lot more secure. I primarily use them for fastening thinner...

Our setup is the same, Brian, except the soffit was already there. I still need to do the mud-work on the drywall...it was supposed to be done when I was mudding the shop, but I, um...forgot. LOL

It was horrible in the late 1970s when I needed to travel it back and forth to/from Penn State. I suspect it was "fixed" at least once since then but since it's a non-toll highway, it gets a lot less...

Unfortunately, "big business" is gonna do what they are gonna do and quite often they don't prefer open source for various reasons of their own. I personally don't have an issue with open source but...

Alan, you can absolutely use Dominos for those joints, but as Derek points out, dowels, using a center can be easier to execute because of the curves. Dominos and dowels are essentially the same...

Tom, I made my flattening/cutting/clamping table modular so that it can break down into easy to handle and store pieces when it's not needed or I need the space where it lives for a larger finishing...

I have two of them that I bought many years ago to provide simple, temporary work surfaces for finishing, etc. On sale, they were about $35 each and the take up nearly zero space when not in use....

If you have a printer, than making your own makes a whole lot of sense. Can I assume you can put a pause in the file to be able to insert the metal or magnet before going on to completion on the...

You are fortunate that you are able to duct from the microwave outside. So many kitchens lack the duct work. I had to actually install it when I put in my current Hauslane hood after getting the...

Yes, these vintage machines are not "compliant" with current safety standards for sure, although there may be some things that were added by Keith, I'm not sure. There's a minimal guard where the...

Just make a fixture (sled) that holds the workpiece so you can make then end cuts at the right place and angle. I'll refer you to the Four Eye's channel on the 'Tube as that's a big part of how he...
