Hi Guys,

I'm making a chair back that uses 5/8 dowels. I want to get some kind of boring machine that I can setup to bore around 11 holes at once. I see most of the machine mention they are 32mm...

I'm wondering what the minumum cut that can be made on a CNC panel saw. For example a Holzma HPP 81-3800 can I cut a 4'x8' up 1" at a time or is their a minimum cut size?

Just looking at this saw tonight: G0569 and wasn't able to find many reviews or if anybody had any experience. Just wanted to know what you guys think and if their is another heavy duty saw that you...

Thanks guys!

Hi Guys,

I was watching a video earlier today and I stumbled across this tool and I don't now what it is. It appears to be some kind of hand pneumatic sander that can be held on either side of the...

Thanks guys tons of great information and for sure helped point in me the right direction. @Bill taking your advice on the electronics to heart. Do you have a specific machine that you think is a...

Thanks David and Mike.

@Mike, true but what I've gathered is is that the sliding table saw overall is just more flexible (and while I did say I would use it mostly for ply, I can think of a few...

I know this is going to be a pretty open ended question but I'm looking for a solid recommendation on the right sliding table saw for my situation.

My use will be breaking down 4'x8' sheets of...

I have a 20 hp rotary compressor running my sanding area.

For sure my biggest challenge is finding quality equipment that can run all day.

Hi Guys,

@Johnny, you really lost me for a second :) - Maybe there are better forums but I'm here everyday. :)

@Peter - Thank you that really explained why I see so many left handed ones.

Looks like I'll be replacing my Mattison 202 here in the next few weeks. Replacing the chain is just abusively expensive and I really don't want to buy another 6000 lb machine just for a chain.

I'm looking at purchasing an upcut saw. It seems that Whirlwind is popular and there are older machines on the market for decent prices. Have the features changed much on upcut saws over the...

Right now I'm just using a couple of the lower end grizzly lathes. They work fine but I'm always looking to improve a process.

Can anybody direct me to someone who can replace a Mattison 202 Ripsaw belt?

I'm in the market for a CNC Lathe to make relatively small pieces. (Usually about 6" x 3"). You guys have yet to lead me wrong on any advice so I figured I would keep asking.

Any suggestions on...

That is a real beauty. Well done.

Peter,

Thanks so much. For sure you made it clear that I do not need a smart shaper. I just need a really dependable shaper. I'm not doing a lot of different setups.

I've been lurking here awhile. I don't have much to contribute but I have lots of questions :)

I saw someone the other day say planers & jointers are dump machines save your money on those and...

I've been looking at a Northfield #7 planer for a few days that has Helical heads. Two questions.

1. Can any #7 be retrofitted to use Helical Heads (I'm assuming yes).

2. Are there downsides...

wow,

Tons of great information, thank you guys.

I'm getting my ideas for prices on CL's, XFactory & Ebay and yes they are all over the place. I don't mind paying more if the machine runs well....

Looking for the best planer I can find for under 10k.
