    Jon,
    The Onieda has a magnetic switch so you will not be able to use the long ranger to turn on your DC unless you modify it heavily. And you won't be using the majority of what you paid for (the...

    Jon, they do seem prone to failure. Mine failed for the previous owner as well. But if it fails again I would probably buy the replacement from Onieda. Then you will also have more remotes (they...

    I personally much prefer an old Stanley to the LV. I have both but always reach for the old one. I hate the angle of the handles on the LV. When paring cheeks you want to apply pressure straight down...

    I agree. I have enjoyed my saw. Most say it cannot properly tension wide bands. They are probably right. But I am happy with a 1/2" band. I also think a product can easily get a bad reputation that...

    Similar for me but I use an AirPort Express so no wires required. I can stream pandora, songza or any music from iTunes. Phone calls and texts mute the audio. The amp is a class-D: no heat, no vents...

    He problem with the walnut guess is the op says it has a more closed grain structure. The close ups look maplish to me but I have never seen maple that consistently dark. It might helpful to get a...

    My favorite marking knife is made from some children's scizors that broke at the joint. I ground a point with two bevels on one side and lapped the bottom flat. I also made a poor excuse of a handle...

    Thanks for the review Mike. I just had one question: you mentioned there is no landing between the bevel and the bottom of the chisel? Did you find the need to round over the edge? Otherwise I would...

    It looks great to me. And I love the idea of the tensioning interlock. But at 2.9k it is just too much IMHO.

    I usually find WO to be at least as difficult to work as cherry. Cherry usually planes beautifully for me. And I love the smell! Keep some of the shavings for burnishing other woods as well. If your...

    I have a much smaller DC (super gorilla 2hp) and it clears most all of the chip/dust from my 8" jointer using only a 4" port. I have not felt the need to open it up to 6".

    So I am guessing the...

    Bruce,
    I am very sorry to hear about your accident. The two factors that I notice are: blade height too high and no riving knife. The back of the blade is where kickback starts and riving knives and...

    I made a Moxon style vise using 1 1/2" threaded at 6 TPI and I find it much too fine a pitch as well. Sure it works but I much prefer 2 TPI or so.

    I started out trying to save money on vise...

    Although unisaws are nice I held out for a saw with a riving knife. I bought a G0691 and it has been worth the asking price.

    I would look used for the bandsaw, jointer and planer. But if you can't...

    I am not sure what the limiting factor is for cutting wood but I would use the lower speed set of pulleys for sure. The old motor was half the speed of the new one right?

    Steve,
    I oriented my boards so they are QS across the width. I.e. so you see the ray fleck on the top. This has both negatives and positives. My bench is a Roubo-like design so minimizing the...

    I think both amperage and voltage is important for the switch. You should not exceed either of the specifications. And I agree with Jack that 277 screams 3 phase. Could you use this to disconnect a 1...

    But most 3hp motors are fine on a 20a circuit. Check the motor label for amperage.
