I was on the verge of purchasing the Hammer but found a good deal on a lightly used Laguna 14 SUV. I have the Hammer sliding tablesaw and am very impressed with it and I have an idea the bandsaws are...

If you want a concave or "spring" joint the best way is to lower the far end of the outfeed table a tiny amount. And when I say tiny amount I mean tiny. If you put a long straight-edge in the middle...

If you are getting what they call snipe it is because your outfeed table is below the height of your blades at top dead center. Raise the outfeed table just a little and it will work better for you.

Usually I keep the outfeed table at the same height as the blade at top dead center. The infeed table is what is adjusted and shimmed.

I just got the Masterlift II and I love it. I think the fine adjustment is built into it. I have no problems adjusting it perfectly and it stays put thanks to the lock. The mechanism goes up and down...

I picked up a LT14SUV form Craigslist yesterday--pretty much new out of the box for 1400, included 3 blades and the mobility kit. Got the 1 inch blade on it and have made 3 resaw cuts with the saw in...

John,
Three or four weeks ago I went through a lot of information on which lift to buy. The more I researched the more difficult it was to decide which one to get, and it came down to me to the big...

Hi Carol,
I have a lot of experience with your question --but only the question. I have been doing a nauseating amount of online research on router lifts.
I have an Incra table with a PC 8902...

Yeah I got a little carried away with the math...

I like the imperial because of the fact that an inch can be divided down in half andin half again (to a 16th or a 32nd on a tape measure) and all these fractions (denominators to be exact) are...

I ordered some more of them last year and the wait was about two weeks, but well worth it. These clamps are a bit expensive compared to other clamps but the quality is superior. You can be sure these...

I bought the Dewalt 745 after using one on a jobsite last fall. Its a little workhorse and very light weight yet at the same time seems very durable--comes with a nice riving knife and has some well...

I got a Hammer K3 with the 75 inch slide capacity and 51 inch rip a few months ago. It was the best decision I could make. It is such a time saver and so accurate. I love the fact that I can cut...

I would say go as big as you can afford to, 24 x 40 would be good, but more importantly, I think you should have 10-12' high walls. The height is great for flipping long boards around and for...

Look into Wetzler. I have some and they are great, well worth the money.

Hi Craig,
I have made a few doors like this with exactly the same 3/4 inch by 1/4 inch stock. I make a grid out of that stock that is 1/4 inch thick. The grid holds the glass and I hide the edges of...

I've built a dozen staircases and the last one I helped with for a friend of mine who was working on a commercial building--a community center sort of thing--and the code called for no bull-nose on...

Thanks Will,
I hope it was the right decision. September is the earliest they said that the next container would be available. Then the next load is October.

O.K. I finally pulled the trigger.
I put a downpay on a Hammer K3 79" x 48" saw for $4999.00. Simply put, I went with this saw because I am looking to increase my efficiency over the long term and...

Each year when the weather gets hot my mind turns toward IWF, I just wish all woodworkers were close enough to Atlanta to make the trip getting to see and touch all the machines in one (albeit huge)...

I am located in Maine.

Thanks Dave for the prices on the used stuff but I think 5 grand is about the most I can spend.
In regards to new saws: I need to sort out the difference in quality...

So Van, you think the felder/hammer is the way to go and not the Grizzly GO623x? The Grizz is about 2 grand cheaper and the only reviews I have read are by two guys who both claim they love it. I...

O.K. so now I feel like a seven year old in a donut shop--the longer I stay the further away I am getting from knowing what I want.
First it was the new Delta Unisaw, then possibly another contender...

Well I am hoping to build cabinets for the next 30 years so I want something to last. Thanks for all the advice.
I have narrowed it down to the Powermatic PM2000 and the new Delta Unisaw. I found...

Thanks for all the advice. Firstly, I have no employees and only have myself to worry about, so as someone else said I am more worried about kick-back than cutting a finger. The SS would be a big...
