I am about to install laminate flooring, which I've never worked with before. I've read many places that it's a saw blade killer. What blade would retain it's sharpness the best?

About 6 years ago I bought 25' of "Crush-Resistant Flexible Polyethylene Vacuum Hose" from McMaster Carr. Pricey, at 6.85 per foot, but by far the best Shopvac hose I've ever used. No crushing or...
Sam, Amazon lists this Panasonic: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000IVDH24/ref=asc_df_B000IVDH24890699?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=googlecom09c9-20&linkCode=asn&creative=380341&creativeASIN=B000IVDH24

I've thought for a long time that a W&H or ShopFox moulder would be a great machine to have (a need it or just want it dilemma).
At the current sale price, the ShopFox is a great deal However, I...
I've never done any turning, but want to give it a try. I'm planning to get a mini lathe. (Well, it will limit the size of my screw ups.) First, how important is electronic variable speed control? I...
Also enjoyed his "Garage Storage" and the modifications he and his father made to a Vega lathe.
I like to check out Tom Plamann's site once in awhile, because he seems to get a lot of "exotic" commissions; things that are a little different than what most of us build.
Anyway, I noticed that...
If it's possible, add space to your garage plan so that the dust collector and an air compressor can be in an enclosed 'room'' with piping into the shop. (And air return if you plan to heat or cool...
FWIW, while Grizzly only lists this as a horizontal boring machine, Leda (Australia, I think), sells the same machine under their label as a horizontal slot mortiser.
Haven't used one myself.

I just don't know why they designed it to run off the table saw. What a hassle. You could probably find an old motor for $25 that could be built into it.

I have the ShopFox 3HP shaper and the spindle sander, and am very pleased with both.

I've seen some of the later Wadkin Burgreen saws, which are very nice, but none of the early Wadkin saws. (I love old machinery, but really don't know much about it compared to many of you guys.)...
I have my "I want that" tool list.
And my "wishful thinking" list.
And, then of course, there's my "pure fantasy list"

Dev..
I've always thought my dream cabinet saw would be an 88. I've seen both the 88 and a T-17, but neither were powered up to play with. Either saw is available locally, but I don't know about...
So Dev, now that the T-17 is up for sale, does that mean that you got the T-73?

[QUOTE=tod evans] i figured out a long time ago if joe can do it in his garage there ain`t no money in it!
Love it!!!
I have an old Uni-Point radial arm saw (800 lbs.- 7-1/2 HP), and use it regularly. I find it to be very accurate. I use the SCMS for many things, and it's certainly quicker to adjust for a cut, but...
I don't have a Woodmaster, but 99% of the posts I've read about them have been positive.
But... They are ALWAYS on sale at about 49% off. I don't believe I've EVER seen an ad or checked their...
How would you rate it noise-wise, compared to more conventional DC's?
Gary
I like RAS's and have one, but I wouldn't be without my SCMS, because it's much faster to set up for some cuts.
The large RAS I have, which I bought used, is actually very accurate and a joy to...
I have an oscillating sander. The odd thing is that I had never used one that oscillated and when looking wasn't actually planning to get one that did, but came across a fairly large one at a...
Saw this picture of a small cylone for sale.
I assume the lower blower is to send the collected chips and dust to a remote location? Never seen this setup before, but I guess it would get the...

Is there a catalog or site where we can look at some of these neat things that are not in the regular catalog?
