    I prefer using a drill/ driver. With an impact driver, it's easy to drive the screw in so fast that it twists the work piece. A drill allows the screw to slowly drill into the material. A 12V impact...

    I've tried a number of different brands, including some cheaper ones. The cheap ones are definitely not worth it. After you've spent $100+ on wood and 3 weeks of work, the last thing you want to have...

    I think the OP is looking for opinions on the sliding table attachment as an accessory to a conventional table saw (item T10223), not the Grizzly slider.
    As for the G0623X, yeah, it's a nice...

    Mine broke as well. JET does supply a second wrench to hold the arbor, which works fine. Not as convenient, but trivial in the grand scheme of blade changing.

    Make some sturdy handles (2x4 material is great) and glue them directly to the timber. Much easier to move the board when you don't have to worry about slipping push pads or sharp edges. Once...

    In a word, yes. I replaced a Grizzly 6" jointer and 13" Ridgid planer with the Jet 12" combo with spiral head (JJP-12HH), and it's been awesome. Having a 12" jointer is really nice, and the spiral...

    I have 16 of these in my shop (Lithonia 2x4ft T8) for four years now. No hum, no flickering, haven't even had to replace a bulb. Easy to install and reasonably priced. Definitely go with T8 (or T5 if...

    I used to obsess about getting all the scratches out of an end grain cutting board. After realizing that the first bit of chopping action made any sanding scratches irrelevant. I stopped obsessing....

    Yes, you can put a full sheet on there. The scale on the crosscut fence goes to 54". For wider pieces, it telescopes out so you can measure up to 78" (and have room for the flip stop). So, if you...

    Getting it off the pallet shouldn't be too hard. Two people can walk it off with the help of some 2x4s and maybe a little plywood.

    Yup. I tried to focus on the things I didn't like about the G0623X (per OP's request), but it's difficult not to get all misty-eyed and giddy. Handling wide pieces is sooo much easier compared to my...

    I used one of these, it is not crimped. You may need to crimp the 8" end yourself, but that is not going to affect the airflow.
