thanks for sharing your experience/expertise -- I think I will carefully mark the tapers (all 4 sides will be tapered) and use the bandsaw and then possibly the jointer but likely a handplane. The...

Simple question I hope. I have three legs for a table I am trying to make that I want to taper. The legs are (or will be) 17.5" x 4" x 4". I want to taper them (from about 6" down from the top) from...

I think my question is within the topic of your thread. I also want to laminate some boards into an approx 6" by 72" curved board for a table I am (trying) to build. I will resaw some Ash into...

I would put a 1/4" drill in my drill press, lower it through the hole to be enlarged in the perf board, clamp the perf board, and then use a larger drill to enlarge the hole (maybe a 3/4" hole saw?)....

I got a nice surprise today (surprise because I had forgotten about the upgrades that were to be sent to field testers of the PCS). The package included a new control box (supposedly more robust with...

I think that is wise -- 4" is smaller than 120MM so I think 5" is a better choice. My A3-31 (with limited use so far) seems to have excellent dust collection in both jointer and planer use with the...

A better description of the "Straight Quick Connector" I have discussed in the previous posts: It is on pg 78 of the Hammer 08/09 Catalog and is part number 02.1.020. The length is about 2 3/4", one...

Yes, the 120MM ID fits inside the 5" flex perfectly (therefore OD must be close to 5") and clamps easily. The other 120MM ID end is a precision fit for the dust port -- it goes on and off easily and...

While not a direct answer to the orig question re. 6" hose, I stumbled on a good solution for attaching regular 5" flex hose to the A3-31 120mm dust port. Felder has a small simple quick disconnect...

I've had one for a few years and like my other makita tools it has been excellent, I believe it is one of the best two portable planers available (with the Dewalt). I haven't used it much but when...

OK, it might be on the net somewhere but I don't have that link. It was sent to me as a video file attached to an email. Thanks for the responses.

I have an 8MB video on the construction of the WWII Mosquito airplane -- shows how they made the plane entirely of wood. I would like to post it somehow on the forum as I think it would be...

Thanks Glenn for knowing what I should have said rather than what I said. Thanks also for the info. I will try MDF on the top surface, probably flatter than plywood and a tougher surface. I plan on...

I am building (modifying actually) a 3' by 6' bench to be both an outfeed table for my cabinet saw and a work bench. This is not the work of art workbenches I have read about here that many of you...

We used the shingle siding on our house (in 2001) and it has been excellent. Prior house (cabin) had cedar and woodpeckers constantly attacked it. We are in a fire risk area and you can hold a...

Thanks to all for the info -- I will be purchasing a good straight edge asap, not sure how I lived to be 67 without it ;). George and Brian, thks for the insight on serious standards and processes. ...

Well I just used my new SawStop PCS on a project and could not be happier with the saw -- of course my previous table saw was a vintage (1949 or so?) Craftsman 8". During the set up of this tool and...

Gary, I did extensive research (too much) on jointers and some on planers and a lot on the companies that make them. Much discussion on cutter width, bed length, combo vs. unique machines, etc. etc....

I think some of us (I'm guilty) get analysis paralysis when we have so much information available -- it certainly was easier to make purchase decisions (maybe not great ones) prior to the internet. ...

I recently purchased a V-3000 series (3hp) from Onieda. I was told the V-series is a newer design cyclone (baffles etc.), slightly quieter, and lower cost to produce which results in a lower price. ...

Well I have been both surprised and amused following this thread -- almost like republicans and democrats trying to reach common ground. I should know better but I thought I would add my two cents to...

Oops, meant to say NO advantage -- typo sorry.

Personally, I would not use JB weld for this. I would use a large flat fine file as has been suggested and remove all high points and then leave it alone. If filling the scratch is important to you,...

I found it easiest to align the center part of the extensions to the table (more or less held by center two bolts) and then aligned the front and back edge with the help of a clamp and tightened the...
