SpeedAire is a good industrial brand, so long as you aren't using it commercially, it should outlast you, your son, and your grandson. Just buy it and enjoy, that size shouldn't limit anything you...

I agree wholeheartedly with Jeff. Having owned and used HF tools for more than 40 years, I feel I can attest to the durability of many of their products. They have a very generous return policy ,...

I would agree with Stew, but it seems the recent, or not so recent if you prefer, "new" management has totally gutted the once substantial PC saw line, leaving only 3 virtually identical right hand...

Also made some from old sections of fence, rustic I think they call it, and a friends daughters went...

The shop of a good friend, 12/14 in the foreground and a 10" uni at the rear. I built and installed bessy clone fences on both saws, using only the eccentric and handle from the original fences. ...

Bought a set of these 8 or 9 years ago, and have hung a truck load of doors using them. On sale for 7 bucks....

All these beliefs are simply, Urban Myths.

...And the springs on your car, they're compressed 24/7?

...And the tires on the car?

...ever hear anyone complain about it?

Believe me, I'm...

Pretty interesting Dave!! Thanks.

Would be nice to find same info in english, even though the basic concepts are shown. The layout of the hub was very interesting, and I'm sure it took some...

WHY on earth would you do that?????

Whats supposed to happen if you don't de-tension the saw???

Had mine little 14 incher for close to 20 years, put on a riser and 3horse motor and never done...

+1 for Graco. IMHO, there is GRACO, and then there's .... well, Graco. Tried others in years past, and they were more trouble than they were worth. Had mine about 5 years also and have done...

I don't see any reason to waste good money on such things. All hinges come with a layout drawing, so just take about 20 minutes to make yourself a jig or two. Depending on the hinge type, two or...

Just put a bigger motor on what you have. I installed a 3 horse motor and a riser on my HF saw a few years ago and it made a big difference. The blade selection mentioned is a very big part of...

I put a 3 horse motor on my BS several years ago, and it doesn't seem to have hurt it any.

I estimate the material needed, add about 20%, and plane it all at once. Then cut the pieces, leaving room to joint edges and final end trimming. I do take care to select boards that...

Those are the guides I've been using for several years. I got 4 sets of them at HF, and I'm still on the first set, so at this rate, there should still be a few in the drawer at my estate auction.

IF you havent, you might read this recent post regarding drift. When cutting against a fence, you must have the fence parallel to the blade. What your picture shows me is that your fence is NOT...

I built my cyclone based on the plans published by wood Mag some 10 or so years ago I guess. It was easy to build, and the only thing I added was a neutral vane which was not in the original plans. ...

I built mine ten years ago or so, using a free blower I got from the local HVAC dealer. As said any of them are good enough for a shop cleaner.

I built it into the extension table on my TS. I...

If you don't have a larger planer its a good project.

LOL

Joe, Nice summation.

I'm in the M&T camp when it comes to any load bearing or structural application. A little tooling, and floating tenons are quick and easy to do. Pocket screws are just another assembly method,...

For several years I used a PC7518 under a table, I didn't need to spend all that money. Used a PRL at a friends shop, and that was it. Bought me a PRL with a set of the inserts, best money I...

Sacrilege, how could one overlook the original and best of the lot, PRL.
