1. I can't say for sure about the blades. You may want to remove the old blades and take some measurements. But so long as their the same length, width, and thickness, I bet they'll work. It...
$30 for all of that? That's crazy! I couldn't buy that much pine for that price!
In my experience, this is every profession. And more important than business savvy, if you want to consider it a separate thing, is networking. I know so many businesses that are successful, but...
I'm sure some still do. But I wouldn't be surprised if most, especially the younger generations, haven't gotten away from that. I know it was common to sit on the floor for most things, but since...
When glueing end grain to end grain with a PVA glue, it's best to mix up a 50/50 mixture of water and glue and apply that to the end grain. Then give it enough time to soak in, and then follow up...
I've read a lot of people complaining about it failing on them. But personally, I've never had an issue. I used it on some outdoor planters a few years back and they're still holding together...
I'm flexible on budget. It's gonna cost what it costs and I have a bit of money saved up. But I'm not rich, so I every dollar spent towards a bandsaw will mean a sacrifice from something else.

It's not as bad as it sounds. And no, I'm very skinny (except for my pot belly). You just take lots of little breaks to catch your breath and focus on keeping loose and taking big, easy strokes and...
A Hock blade and chip breaker would be a worthy upgrade for that plane. So I wouldn't say no to it, since those are things I would probably want to replace anyway.
However, I'd want to get into...
Thank you. This also helps out a lot.
I think I'm learning what I need to know. And I'm leaning towards a new G0513, depending on what I can find on the used market. I think it, or something...
With all due respect, I think I understand a lot better what you're saying than you understand what I'm saying. And that's perfectly understandable. At this point, I written a lot and there's a lot...
That's my thinking. I'm okay with the idea of taking an excruciatingly long time resawing a 12" board, as I won't do it much (if ever). Two hours of resawing one board at the bandsaw beats two...
Yeah. Hardwood doesn't always mean hard wood. Good examples are balsa, a hardwood with a 300 Janka hardness, or Yew, a softwood with a 1520 Janka hardness. And hard wood doesn't always mean strong...
I'm okay with having to flatten the board after resawing. I do that now when I resaw by hand. Plus, any wood I buy has to be planned flat. I'm not part of a production shop and don't have...
I didn't read the article, but that's what I heard. It worked. But it used a different technology from SawStop and in order for it to work right, you couldn't have a cell phone near it. Which in...
I could see that being an issue. But I haven't experienced that yet. And I usually chamfer or round over the edges of pretty much anything I make as one of the later steps, so I can accept a tiny...
I've heard how moxon vises need to have thick and rigid jaws to prevent flexing and keep the work from moving. And then sometimes you're supposed to camber the face so it straightens as you tighten...
What about a Laguna LT16 SEC (Meber)? I found one in good shape with lots of add-ons. I've heard both good and bad things about the Meber variant. Vibration problems, mainly. But supposedly it...
That's good info. Thanks for posting!
Oklahoma City-ish.
I'd really like to avoid shipping. Especially for a used machine. Not just to avoid the cost, but also because I have had such terrible luck with things getting lost or...
Can you flex the blade? Or is it too thick and rigid like the blade on an 81, 12 or 112?
I'd assume it would last longer, just because Hock uses better steel.
Which battery? Are they the 18v/20v, 40v/80v, 60v?
That's actually one of the few used bandsaws I've seen come up that weren't ridiculously priced! I think it was $800. I passed on it because of the small motor and the complaints of the noise in...
I'd be okay with a VFD, but I've never seen a 3 phase for sale. I don't think they pop up around here, since this isn't an area rich in woodworking history (we don't have a lot of trees and the...
