It depends on where the weight will be carried... Normally cases are dovetailed with the mechanical "lock" holding the sides to the top/bottom (tails on top/bottom, pins on sides). The problem with...

Bernie, This is great! Well done! We're thinking about adding two more benches to the shop and this is inspiring. Looks like it would be super useful for portable power tool work like routing......

It could certainly move more when sawing... be careful if you rip with a tablesaw, bandsaw would be the way to go to be safe... I'm not sure about pecan, but I've had big maple and walnut boards do...

Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences. I have a bit of hearing loss in my left ear from too many concerts (~500 or so) spent front row left without ear plugs. Now I'm pretty paranoid about...

Hi Nathan,
I sympathize with your position... wonky wood sucks... As others have said, ripping and laminating is your best bet. If you have a truck and a day to spare you could drive up to my shop...

Jeffrey, Truly a high class problem... The way I see it if you get the 16" you might regret not having the table space, weight, and resaw capacity. If you get the 18 you might regret $300.

We use the Kreg system in my shop and LOVE it. I built a ply cabinet in the stand with great dust collection and plenty of storage. We use a 3.5 HP porter cable motor with the Kreg lift system. If...

Here's my dust collection solution. It works just fine. I bought the saw last January (2012). Right now it's hooked up to a big cyclone, but when we had a small space it was hooked up to regular...

I buy the heavy duty polyurethane ones from Lee Valley

They aren't cheap but they lock in all directions, roll easily, and are...

Hi Jeff, I'm in Salt Lake and get everything around here... I've been meaning to head down there to check out Trestlewood (in Lindon), it looks like they have some interesting reclaimed lumber.

I like the mobility kit. It's on the saw, but I don't actually roll it around much. Very stable. I shove 8/4 hard maple, 6/4 cocobolo, ebony... through it and it doesn't budge. As for the dust...

I forgot about that... I'm 6'1" and it is annoyingly low for small precise work. For ripping boards... who cares, but for detailed work it is a bit tough on the back/neck. I have the mobility kit...

I did the same thing. I planned on the 16HD and then figured it's only 10% more for the 18.... Luckily, the 20 was another $600 so my rationalization fell apart before I got the LT37. :) The other...

Not that I'm adding anything new, but go with the Narex. Like Jim I have the Narex mortise chisels and love them. I have a few "proper" old English mortise chisels and when I need an off size I...

Jeffrey, I have the HD. I know it's a $1,000 more but I think it's worth it. It's a 50% stronger motor and evidently a bit stiffer (25% heavier). There are a couple things the 3000 series has that...

Hi Jeffrey, I have the Laguna LT18 (same as the one you're looking at just a tad bigger) and it is AMAZING. The Laguna guides are the best I've ever used and the Resaw King blade is ridiculous. I...
