How about PEX, the stuff used in radiant floor heating? It is amazingly easy to work with, joints & fittings are minimal, and the stuff is tough. I saw a video once of a guy kinking the stuff and...

Yeah, had I seen it earlier, I would have been first at the door. But I didn't even see the listing until the 2nd day of the sale. And I didn't even notice this saw until I was going through the...

I was too late to this estate sale, but I heard that the saw on the right was sold for 8-12 bucks. Most of the rest were there when I got there. I hope it found a good home. Don't know...

The osage will hold up. As a kid, I lived on a farm and we cut osage orange, or hedge, for firewood and fence posts. I have busted many axe handles on that stuff.

I sprung for the hardened steel Starret. I do not regret the decision at all. I also have a combo square from Big Box Store. Just feeling the difference in these two tools, which look alike from...

I don't have this problem with my underpowered Craftsman.

Something is in there jamming it up. Maybe a small offcut is stuck between something. Clean again.

Make a groove where the gap is, then inlay a new piece of oak to match (or something else to contrast.) From what I understand, the slab has structural integrity, just unsightly gaps. If it weren't...

I got a nice 3/4", #7 sweep Pfeil from Woodcraft for Christmas. Came really sharp, but a little honing improved it. Sometimes I will just take it and create shavings, not even trying to produce...

I put a Beisemeyer fence on my Crapsman 113.xxxxx table saw and still love it. I also put on a Forrest blade. I bought the saw new in the early 90's and I have more invested in the fence and blade...

Dog is not wearing safety glasses.

Or just cut into the waste wood with the coping saw, instead of forcing it into the kerf.

That's cool. I got $100 from Fine Homebuilding for submitting a tip to use a compact fluorescent bulb in a trouble light. It can get banged around, no filament to break, and it doesn't heat up. ...

Big house with plaster & metal lath=no signal at one end.

I bought this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7343105&Sku=A191-0012

Plugged it into the...

Good luck. And you don't really need the Pro version.

I agree with the Forrest recommendation. I have the stacked dado set and I forget what I paid for it, because the quality is so good. No pre-scoring or blue tape needed even on crosscut dados in...

Not real close to Madison, but you can send them here:

I just sent 2 saw blades and 7 router bits to Forrest Mfg. in Clifton,...

Thanks Jim. I don't plan to sell it. It cuts well, too.

Updating my profile now-thanks for the help.

Mine is cordless. Has a Briggs engine, change the oil a couple times a season...

Sorry, just couldn't pass it up.

I put a sheet of plywood between the saw and the stand, and have a 4" dust port coming out of it. I used sheet magnets like Dell did, but I got them at the dollar store. Easy to remove when tilting...

Had to brag about my find. Just bought one yesterday. Here are some pics after a wipe down with WD40 to get the dust off. Blade is straight, no kinks or anything. Well worth the $4 I paid?
...

I finally got one of those things. So I have been taking care of all the things left undone in my shop for some time. Right now I'm cleaning and sharpening everything I can. Tuning up a bunch of...

Hire an electrician. Put in a bigger subpanel than you think you will need, with lots of breaker spaces. Also note that the subpanel will need to have an isolated "neutral" bar. I put the quotes...

Looks like red oak to me, too. I grew up on a farm FULL of honey locusts and have never seen grain like that in honey locust.

To distinguish between red & white oak, red oak has open pores &...

New guy here chiming in with my first post. I have the Bosch 1617EVS-PK and love it. It might not be the HP you want, but it is smooth in all respects. It just feels great and is a joy to use.
