gee, I forgot about my snips. Thanks

Would it be possible to cut a leather gun holster (basically trim off the snaps) by using a bandsaw? or am I asking for trouble? If not, what would be a better solution?

Cary. I too picked up the CM 12" BS a few weeks back. Truthfully, this is my first BS, but I feel that for the price it is quite nice ($255. with CM club card). When compared to the CM 14" we're only...

Thanks Jim, I wasn't too sure. I will have to set the belt up tomorrow.

In reading my user's manual I see that there are two speeds that my BS can run on. It says 1450 feet/min for hardwoods, some plastics and certain nosferrous metals and 3000feet/min for all other...

Actually the table is big for a 12". The top is 20 1/2" x 16" with a 3/4" miter slot (sorry forgot the depth) with a groove along the bottom of each side (like a table saw). So with the right gauge...

Yes, the saw actually has two miter gauge slots. I just can't seem to find the MG anywhere. It's a shame, the saw is pretty nice. I would have gone for the 14", but I really felt that starting out...

I'm just being silly, but for those who bought one of the newer table saws from Sears. What did you do with that metal crate that housed your saw? I was about to send mine to the recycling center...

I recently picked up a 22400 Craftsman 12" bandsaw. Paid $255 onsale +10% off with my CC card. Anyway, it didn't come with a miter gauge, nor is it a part that can be ordered (I've checked with 3...

Thanks for the input.

So it seems to me that regardless of use time. The PC seems to be the all around favorite. So this morning after I dropped my daughter off in day-care. I went to both HD and...

Hi all, I've read a few posts on the subject, but still wanted to ask for myself.

Q. If I just want to use a biscuit jointer once and awhile, should I still go for the Porter Cable that many...

gracias! Phil

I hear that alot of woodworkers like to use paste wax to keep the cast iron tops of thier table saws nice and smooth. Any recomendations, and were do you buy it (auto shop)?

Steve, how do you know what size to make a clearance hole?

LOL, thanks for the laugh guys. I feel better now. I really thought it was me. I have seen those square head scews at my local hardware store, but wasn't sure if I needed them (guess I do now).
...

Over the weekend I made a neat (yet crude) little workbench for my miter saw. In contructing it I used 2x6s and 3/4 compressed board for the top (split so sawdust can drop to the ground). I used 3"...

Trying not to sound too naive, but aren't some Craftsman power tools rebadged Bosch & DeWalts. I know some of their base tablesaws, drills, cms, bandsaws, routers etc are Ryobi and possibly Skill. If...

How many of you use laser power tools?

Circular Saws, Compound Miter Saws, Drill press, Jig saws, drills, laser levels (ok, so not a power tool) etc.

Do they really make life easier or are they...

F'n WOW. I can only hope to one day reach that kind of level. That is one heck of a job David.

sorry I'm late for the party. Here's my 2 cents.

David, I currently own a BTS 15 which has served me well over the past year and a half. What's nice about it is that it comes with a sliding miter...

Being at the start of something (with limited funds, no less) can be really frustating. Every time I think I got my bases covered, another thing pops up. What I'm refering to is the lack of tools in...

Ok, I just checked my breakers. One is indeed for the lights and one wall outlet. The second breaker is for the ceiling outlets which have my 10 outlet belkin plugged in (it is made specifically for...

Thanks fellas, all info is noted and appreciated. Brian, thanks or the clarification. I think that I should be fine with my set up.

When You turn the saw on, does it come up to speed promptly, or does it spin up slowly?

Promptly

How much else is on the same circuit the saw is on?

Lights and a radio. I usually unplug any...

Thanks for the welcome guys. I have another set of questions. How many of you are using the table saws at 240v? If so, is there really that much of a difference in power? or will 120v do?
