I'm sure I would've gotten used to the new scheme, but the old one does seem easier on my eyeballs.

Huh. That site isn't using this scheme. :)

I don't particularly like theirs, either -- but it's a easier on the eyes.

Another vote against the new scheme, I'm afraid. It makes me squint, too. It feels kind of "washed out". Must be the blue-gray text on the near white background, e.g. in the "Reply To Thread" bar I'm...

Hi!

(Don't look now, but there's a Borg standing behind you.)

OMG, they've escaped their forum! :eek:

Round things come later, I'm still figuring out how to make boxy things without chiseling my fingers off ... :D

The analogy to the Borg in Star Trek is amusing, but actually not particularly accurate. One of the key characteristics of the Borg was that they assimilated cultures. Home Depot and Lowe's drive...

My understanding is that the miles-per-gallon figure for such cars is much higher. A friend who knows much more about cars offered me these links for more information: http://www.tdiclub.com/,...

Dunno if I'll be here that long, but I can't complain too loud since my own job seems pretty secure -- it's not directly related to manufacturing. But for a lot of people in Michigan things certainly...

I'm glad Jameel asked about this, I found the replies enlightening. Thanks.

I have seen this mentioned before, but it seems counter-intuitive. If the DC is moving a large volume of air, and you reduce the cross-section of the path it travels through, the air should speed up,...

Take a look at the conversion kit offered by Wynn Environmental, which was recommended in another thread here on Sawmill Creek. I just got the HF DC and the conversion kit about a week ago. Looks...

Figures I would happen to notice this thread today. Just spent three hours in the ER this afternoon getting five stitches in my left forefinger after slipping with a chisel. A moment's inattention......

No good news, I'm afraid. My last update here was Monday 8/27, when I got a promise by phone that the new support arm/power switch would be shipped immediately. On Thursday 9/6 I sent them another...

Wasps. We have a lot of different kinds of wasps here in southeastern Michigan. Mostly paper wasps, but also yellow jackets, bald-faced hornets, mud-daubers.

My shop is far from airtight, and...

Update: Just got a call from Cliff at Grizzly. Apparently, there was an engineering change to go to M10 cap screws at the closer spacing, and I got a mixed shipment -- new bed, old support arm and...

Wow!

I don't care why. A nice piece of art like this is its own answer to that question.

In this respect, I had little trouble with UPS Freight. Each time they called a day or two in advance, and gave me a four-hour window for delivery. On the last delivery, I had a little bit of trouble...

Thanks for all the replies.

To clarify, I'm very pleased with Grizzly's support, although I'm frustrated with the overall situation. Obviously most of the blame for this lies with UPS Freight....

I have been thinking about posting this for a while now, but Grizzly's customer support has been working hard on resolving my issues, so I didn't have a compelling urge to blow off steam. Until...

You're welcome, and thanks for the kind words, Bruce!

You're welcome! I'd already been thinking that I should post this information, since there isn't a lot about it on the Web yet, and your question triggered the avalanche.

This is the first new WW...

I just purchased the Craftsman 22401 14" bandsaw a few weeks ago. This is my first bandsaw; I also picked up Duginske's book and have just started getting to know the saw.

Keeping my lack of...

Sweltering hot here in southeast MI, too. Played "junior excavator" with our old tractor's grafted-on loader bucket, regrading an area along a property line with a "difficult" neighbor. Really wasn't...

About 13 years ago my wife and I did a lot of work looking into home construction techniques for our dream home. (It has yet to be built, for a variety of reasons.) We got very interested in...
