    Test before it leaves the store.

    I was really impressed with one of the new offerings. I won't name the brand because this may have been single flawed unit. The 90 degree table to fence alignment was several degrees off. Put a...

    My 87 year old father in-law followed me out to the shop this morning and asked me that same question. I told him I probably should get a Saw Stop for safety's sake but that a wide belt sander would...

    For me it's psychological.

    It is hard to get started on a new project when the shop is full of clutter. I'm compulsive about having everything neat and put away and the shop cleaned up before I start something new. Lately,...
