I've had mine for years with no issues or need to replace the pad. That said, it sounds as though this unit gets used daily or near there in your business. If this is the case, things were out. ...
RIP John,
You really helped a lot of woodworker's, new and experienced with your teaching.
Thanks
Just get a ETS150-3/5 and use corser grit paper. It may take a little longer than the rotex. I have used my 150-3 for years and it work great, I start a 60 when need or 80, then work my way to 220.
Not that I have tried it, but what about a porta-bandsaw? Takes a much smaller blade so minimal waste. Could one get a 2-3 tooth blade for one of those. Again, never used one but wonder if one fo...
I stick built a bar with my GSS system, in about a day and 1/2. I am building my kitchen cabinets with it as well. No need to cut twice, just measure and cut and I am done. No issues with time or...
These sanders are not made to take big chunks of wood off in a single pass, they need light passes. When I try to take too much off it trips the trigger, when I take lighter passes I have no issues.
let me be the lucky one for once.
I have used Suffolk blades for the most part with no problem, my larger blade is dull and I went to use the stock grizzly..... poor poor poor experience, absolute junk blade and the same results you...
The Borg's really have killed the mom and pop, then through in the economy many just can not handle it anymore. Too bad.
Around here, it is hard to find domestic ply anymore. Sucks for sure.
This reminds me of something kind of funny, has nothing to do with Fedex though. My BIL was in the army and stationed in Germany. When he got out, the amry packed his stuff and shipped via sea...
I have both and find I still use the bench top morticer some, but not as much as I did in the past. I find the biscuit jointer seems to be the real loser with the domino.
Heck, I drove 8 1/2 one way to buy 200 bdft of birdseye maple, 4 hours i snothing to save the money to buy a SS. Great deal.
I have the Ryobi WDS1600, had it for many years. Though I don't care for some specific things about it, I could not imagine not having it. Any time I have to glue up anything I run it through the...
I have both, I started with big ole Ridgid. Talk about loud. I upgraded to the mini-Fein, didn't need the capacity as much as the performance. This wa sbefore I learned about Festool. It has...
Yep, the chucks alone make it worth the extra price. I bought the basic drill when I got mine, then added the chucks along the way. I've been wanting the right agle, some guy had a new one on Ebay...
I don't have the "C" series, but I've had a TDK for many years. By far the best drill I have had (Dewalt, PC, Makita). The batteries last, and when they need a charge the charger only takes 15...
I've had a 1023S for probably 10 years now, it has been a work horse. As for Grizzly machines, I've been pleased with everything I have bought. I did have some issues with a disk sander early, but...
FWW for me.
I have Wood, which I just received my last issue. No renew for me on this one. I have had if for several years, but I find it to be just OK.
I had Shop Notes, from the day they...
What about stainless steel 1/4" rods going veritcally through the back.
Have you asked him what he wants? That usually works for my son. If he still doesn't know, then get him some gift certificates or cash. If he doesn't have anything he wants now, those will be good...
Yep, always get stuff super fast after placing and order. Frankly, unless I really need it now, all F orders go to him. If I need it now, then the locals get my business, though they are never as...
I'll go in February like I always do. I'll spend way too much time there as usual. My buying has gone down in the years as I really just don't need much. LN used to show here, they didn't last...
I usually just set the fence slightly wider than the strips I need, then use a home made push stick that supports about 12-15" of length. It also keeps my hands well above the blade. I then use the...
I was told the fence could be used on both, but not everything. Might be a good question for Uncle Bob.
