I have been away for a while but have returned to ask some questions.

First off, I purchased an old American made 14" bandsaw a few years ago. Last year, I upgraded the fence to a Kreg fence in...

What about the bit for cutting the plate/lift into the table top?

Well, I am finishing a router table build and it is time to insert the router. Due to $$$, I am going to use my Bosch 1617 in the table and have my Festool plunge router as my handheld unit.
...

Anyone got it? Impressions. Plan on using it with a Bosch 1617/1618.

Thanks,
Chuck

Looking to upgrade fence of a 14" Delta USA made bandsaw. Thinking of the Kreg bandsaw fence. Next project requires me to rip about a bazillion pickets made from 1" cedar. Will this do the trick? ...

My condolences to his family.

I have some of the wire systems and I don't particularly care for them. I am looking for something that has some bulk.

Has anyone seen any plans kicking around the internet that they would like to share? Thinking like Ikea sort of looking thing/cubbie system for a smallish coat closet.

Thanks,
Chuck

What is your general impression of them? I have an iPod Touch and would like something to listen to them with when mowing the lawn and working with machinery.

Thanks,

Anyone know of a place that does custom router bits?

Chuck

The contractor is a lot of scratch (especially for a hobbyist - me). I basically operate using a Festool workshop now (with a band saw and some other power hand tool).

I just asked my wife if I...

I would be interested in a review on the saw's performance or at least your (or anyone else who uses the SS contractor) or at least your initial impressions.

Congrats,

Chuck

Join the crowd!

Kind of what I thought.

Thanks guys.

Plan calls for a quarter inch chamfer.

Measure the depth of the plunge not including the bearing using a standard bit?

Thanks,
Chuck

Thanks Bharat!

Also, would you recommend getting the Hardware Kit (#63010) if I intend on possibly using the alternative T-track method mentioned above?

Also, as to the comment about the lifts...

BTW - I have a festool OF 1400 for hand use. Therefore, I thought since I have the 1617 I could use that.

As for the T-Track recommendation instead of the norm technique, do you have a pic?

I have a Bosch 1617 that I can put into the table immediately. However, I am interested in what router people have in their tables.

Looking at the lifts from woodpeckers and the 1617 can not...

When my wife wants me to make something.

Too much.

What's google?

Due to painting it and that its kid's furniture I was seriously considering poplar as I have had pretty good luck with it.

Thanks for the input,

So, my wife would like me to make some shelving type things for my son's room. In looking at some catalogs to get ideas, I noticed that a lot are made from rubberwood and/or MDF.

In terms of...

Bump to the top.

I have volunteered to do some wood working projects at an elementary school. It is part of a program called "Arts Night".

Any how, a local BORG type store offered to donate some of the project...
