+1 for the Triton. Have two router table setups, one with the 2 1/4 hp and one with the 3 1/2. Love both. Quiet. Much more so than the PC, Dewalt and Milwalkee that sit on the shelf unused.

For short term, I find that scrubbing with topcoat, then a coat of boeshield, and top with two coats of johnson paste wax works well. For longer time, I add a coat of slipit and a piece of thin...
Save the grinder to sharpen the turning tools. Since most of our lathes are made in China, I would think you could find a great deal on a benchtop lathe that is ready to turn wood. Unless you are...
I have several Craftsman routers, a Dewalt 618, a Milwaukee, and have used the P&C and the Bosch. The Bosch is fair. The best; however, by leaps and bounds, is the Triton. Put the 2.25 hp in a...
After years of using a hand drill, I got a drill press, added a table with track fence, and wondered why I hadn't done this 30 years ago. Straighter, repetitive depth, less sloppy, at exact stopped...
Years ago a gent bought my old jointer. Put the machine upright in the truck bed. He had plenty of tie down points and used six ratcheting straps around the machine and it didn't budge. Two over the...
Not normal. Looks like blade is not tensioned properly. Check blade tensioning. Ensure install bottom of blade, pull up blade and bottom arm to snug up to top arm, tighten top, then tension.
If you have the space, get the '97 Unisaw and never look back. From the pictures it looks to be in great shape, complete fence system and extension table. Great saw, loved mine until DoD moved...
Scroll saw?
A skew chisel is fine for turning, so is any sharp piece of metal. It is the technique that is important. My biggest disasters have been with the skew, and the finest pieces. Raffan makes it look...
+1 for new Grizzly with a riving knife. I had 1023rl and now a 0690, and love both.
Check out the RT 1000, I am happy with mine. Usually on sale this time of year too. Although not sure when they will resume operations.

Maybe cut a piece of paper and form a cone that fits your lathe. Then check the size against this chart to find the proper morse taper.

Had the complete table for two years and love it. Also have the Triton in it.
I had a large unisaw I loved, then I moved and got a Grizzly 1023rl with smaller rails and in moving again got the Grizzly 0690 and it is a wonderful saw as well. Have taught classes in a center that...
Being a teacher overseas I do leave a few tools for very long periods of time in a garage. I have had these steps work exceptionally well: clean all tools well, even the tracks and every crevice of...
Lots of lathes out there that you could refurbish from the start. Have you thought about selling the pm90 and start fresh?
Made quite a few of various shapes. I like all three of the kits at craftsupplies USA.
The noise rating of most shopvacs seems to be in the 65 db range. The Penn State Industries 2hp DC is at the same noise rating, and is close to the lower price of option 1.
I find that a tool table cover must lay close the top surface, minimizing the air pocket containing moisture. I found that after cleaning and waxing the top, laying a thin painter's plastic sheet on...
Jack, the beginner of this thread asked for recommendations, and I provided my input. Sorry, I didn't make a comparison study for you, but if you want a thread that does that, one that provides an...
Used craftsman routers for years, then used PC, bought Dewalt and the big Milwaukee. All good, but after putting a Triton in a benchtop router table, I got a second Triton for a full size router...
I started out with several Craftsman routers for 30 years, used a few PC ones along the way. Got the Dewalt 618 a few years back, and a Milwaukee
All good machines, but when I built a table top...
Please include me in this opportunity.
Pease include me inthe drawing. The catalog looks great.
