Came across this article while researching router table ideas. An article in American Woodworker from 1997. Looks just like the Woodpeckers Sidewinder concept.

Article here.

I just replaced or backed up: pin nailer, brad nailer, finish nailer... with Bostich. All shop use. Haven't had any depth issues you described. I bought the Bostich because of its lightweight to...

I have three 220 boxes off of one 20amp breaker. I used stranded 12 wire in EMT pipe. I run my Powermatic PM2000 and the Grizzly GO548Z dust collector at the same time with no issues. The band saw is...

There is an excellent in depth article in the new Feb Popular Woodworking magazine which covers the pros and cons. What I got from it... it's a wash between the Grizzly and the other helical's...

Well here's the new joiner all set up and running. Had a couple annoying setup issues, but all in all, I'm pleased.

It cuts very nicely. Leaves a glass like finish, is quieter cutting than my old...

Bob, the new joiner should be here tomorrow. Had a 8" DJ-20 and haven't missed it. I have been using an old Powermatic 6" model 50. I use it just for cleaning up edges and straightening shorter stock...

Ha... the motor cover is now on Van! Jeez... did I forget that... Yup! Wired up the plug this morning and put together a nice extension chord. Put a newly sharpen blade in and turned my attention...

Look what showed up at my door yesterday. Very impressed with the packaging... not a tear, scratch, ding or rip anywhere. Assembly was a breeze. Today we add a plug, adjust the riving knife, add a...

Thanks Van. I took a look at the other dust collectors. How can the Grizzly have twice the CFM and more HP at almost half the cost of the others? Seems like a big jump... even for Grizzly. I must be...

Order placed... Grizzly 0457. Here's why...

I just happened to be driving by a Woodcraft yesterday and figured I'll stop in just to see what they had. As it turns out this store had a Powermatic...

Still tormented on the bandsaw choice. Now back considering the 513X2 over the 0457. I'm not concerned with the prices, just want to get the right size saw. The lower priced Grizzlies just don't...

Bandsaw revisited...

So after a couple of days of getting the tablesaw and joiner purchases out of the way... and out of my head, I've been able to refocus on the bandsaw. I think there was a...

Your post is perfect timing. Right after my last post this morning I ordered the PM2000. Found a great deal from ToolZone... free shipping with lift gate. So... table saw out of the way.

After I...

Thanks for all the replies guys. I figure today is the day I make up my mind and just order something... right.

At this point in time I'm settled on the larger Grizzly 514X2 bandsaw and the...

Hi Matt, only considering the bigger saw because of the bang for the buck. If Grizzly made a Euro style 14" with a brake I'd be all over it. I think the 0457 would probably fill my needs, but when...

I'm hearin' ya loud and clear. :D Value wise doesn't make sense not to get the bigger 514X2. I'm just not seeing the need, though I may grow into it and find other uses. How do these bigger saws...

Good point. I have a half dozen thin kerfs in rotation because my Unisaw is one of those high torque 1.5 hp Rockwell motors. Never had much of an issue with power but the thin kerf helps. Yeah, I...

Thanks for the replies folks. Sorry I haven't responded, my internet has been down for a few days.

Back to the task at hand...

A little research is a dangerous thing. I took a ride to a...

Need a refresh on some shop items. I'm just about to hit the order button on a few Grizzly machines...
