I would highly recommend the AZEK material. First, it is "pure" plastic - nothing to promote growth of germs or what-not. Second, it would never splinter or deteriorate in any fashion when wet,...

Interesting! Over on another ('Net) forum there is a thread about tearing up an X5 Unisaw arbor and no replacement available from Delta or anywhere else.

Well, I have a whole shop full of both scrap options, so take your pick - do I save the long, narrow piece this time, or the next?

Agree with the grain match concept for a picture frame - if you...

Could be, although I must have seen it on one of the WW forums because I haven't subscribed to any of the mags in years. It has been long enough that I really do not remember, though. I certainly...

One way around the installation of T track. Dado slots on a substrate (I used ½" BB ply) about 3/16" deep and wide enough for the toilet-type jig bolts. Cover substrate with glued hardboard (I used...

Derek, I'm sure that works for you, but I would never rip 14" from a sheet of plywood with the remainder on the cutoff side. I believe it is far safer to have the largest piece against the fence,...

"...I have had some difficulty getting clamps to stay in place when trying to cross them on the diagonal."

Here's where a set of small blocks with V-notches cut into them comes in handy. Make...

IMO part of the problem is location, Muncy being a fur piece even from SE PA. And another reason may be the season - lots of folks on vacation just before school starts, or else are spending this...

1. Never buy anything that is not on sale.
2. Never buy anything you haven't inspected up close.
3. Never leave the store before making sure the model they wheel out is the same as the one you...

O.K., that helps. How about this...Mount the fence with bolts that just loosely hold the fence and allow adjustment. Mount clamp on fence elsewhere. Adjust pressure foot so it clamps down to the...

Probably too late, but the simplest way to get straight, plumb, perfectly spaced holes is to drill them with the drill press before the top is glued up. This requires careful consideration of later...

Kent - it might help if we knew what you were trying to do, but based on making a coping sled from materials that were too thin you definitely can get "lift" with one of the standard clamps. Let's...

and others about using a plywood backing with cleats over the top of the wall, rather than those thick standards and floppy shelves. I have these all over the outside walls of my basement shop, some...

I have a question - can the Oslun set really go down to ¼"? I have the Harbor Freight similar set, and the 42-tooth outer blades (slightly greater than 1/8" kerf) do not allow offset of the teeth...

Alas, I don't see the G1023SL(W) on the website, either, although it was in the catalog I got not too long ago. Guess that means I now own an obsolete saw.

Jim - thanks for the review. Pretty much my experience with six of similar models from Harbor Freight (which have been closed out for a while). I use them on the small bandsaw, drill press, router...

I met Brian at an informal outing at a fellow woodworker's shop in Lake Wales a couple years ago. In addition to being a good conversationalist, he brought along some real deals for the crowd. Gets...

I wouldn't worry about it, as Tom has been absent from other shows in the past. The two I remember were the adobe abode in Arizona, and the Savannah project. I actually rode back to Atlanta with...

Unless I'm missing something, it looks like the angle on the narrow piece should be a bit more acute, while that on the wider piece should be less so. They should meet on your mark, correct?

"what do you use for a table-top grid?"

I made a stand-alone downdraft box of about the size you are thinking, for use with a shopvac. The top was made from a piece of Borg perforated hardboard...

Right now Big Lots has a 55-stick tub of it for $2.00, right size for sharpening (if needed) in a common pencil sharpener. I bought two units for inclusion of several sticks in our charity projects...

2 ft. wide table tops sound like they are from lab benches, in which case they could possibly be made of soapstone or some such material, as was typical in the old days. More recently I think most...

If all you want is 6 shelves 40" X 12" from a single sheet of plywood, it shouldn't make any difference which way you cut it except for the number and sizes of left overs. Rips provide three...

I don't have direct experience, but that one seems to be a near-spittin' image of my 5-YO Ryobi that Home Depot used to sell. Same color, same oval CI top, same plastic inserts, approximately the...

Totally agree with Rick. Besides, every successive pass on the Frown makes the board slightly more straight, as material is only being removed from the ends. The only time I would think about...
