    More important than width is length. I made some 7' doors from 5/4 oak. My standard 6" jointer could not do the job. I bought a 6" long bed and have never regretted it. I took a big loss on the...

    Amazon's current price for Unisaw w/biesemeier. is $3 grand, delivered. Saving over half on one NIB or 2/3 on one "like new" seems to be a VERY good price. Years ago I bought a new Delta "cabinet...

    My Forrest is much better than the Freud which I have sold. Essentially no tearout except on the end of the cut, if no backer is used. Agree that the plastic shims are a nuisance because they drop...

    On the table saw I always take very shallow cuts and go slowly. Have never noticed any dulling of the blade. The cut is way better than I can get with a band saw. When cutting any metal on my band...

    It might be better to ask if one has 3 phase power. Then, if the power comes from the line or from a converter. Then, if the converter delivers 2/3 of 3 phase power (static converter)or 100% of...

    I watched both of those. The one with magnets did not address movement when tightening. The other one was less than impressive. It seemed that he was just going back and forth: tap too hard and...

    Setting jointer blades

    I have a Powermatic 6", long bed jointer. I can easily get the blades adjusted until I tighten them. Tightening invariable moves the knife. I can tighten as slowly and evenly as I want, but the...

    I have always sprayed polished brass with polyurethane, and it has stood up well for decades. However when I tried it on a doorknob, it came off in a few months. It must be the skin oils, etc. Can...

    It is natural to try to correct a mistake immediately. Resist the impulse and think about it for a day or so. If something chips, try to find the chip and glue it back, much better and easier than...

    Don't lubricate the centrifugal switch unless it was lubed. When installing bearings, push on the inner ring only when mounting on a shaft and on the outer ring only when mounting in a housing.

    Before I tried heat, which can really do a lot of damage, I would buy a cheap 1/2" pneumatic wrench. Then sacrifice a good 4mm hex key and put a stub into a 4mm socket.
