Yep! Lee Valley's (best ones) are HSS, which means they are less likely to burn the fragile cutting edges. They are also very well ground. Those are not easy to sharpen, so it pays to use good...

To me, anything but slotted screws in furniture just doesn't look "right". It's funny, but the first "furniture" that I "built" was a junk entertainment center of particle board. It came with the...
Noah, you said, "Seems like using a router speed control with a CMS would do the trick." Is the rated speed lower than a CMS speed? I didn't notice the recommended speed anywhere, but there was no...
That is fast! But for more precision, I will keep the band saw too. It would be awesome for a jobsite though. I suppose it is the metalurgy of the tips that allows that.
What is the cost? ...
Hi John,
Some/many of us will be watching for your review and comparison.
David
I saw that saw listed. ...saw saw... whatever... :eek: I have a US Delta 14" wood saw and an ultra cheapie from Wholesale Tool for metal. If the wood/metal saw is anything as rough working as my...
My local mill calls anything in S2S 5/8" or thicker 4/4. The owner usually rounds to the next board foot of the total. He doesn't measure anything. I once bought about 100 bf from him measuring as...
Nope! I won't buy your wood, Chris. I foresee your plan. You plan to "dunk it in the water for a week (to make sure the cracks are filled OF COURSE), then charge me by the pound for dry wood!" ...
You know, if that is the key, I might be able to do cabinet work. I normally measure a few times, cut twice, then need to add some back. :rolleyes:
David
I *do*??? Uh, oh... :eek:
David
Al,
The part that you are working requires you to start at the left edge and work toward the right to not be climb cutting. Thanks for the pics. That does explain things better. A climb cut is...
Jim,
I've been doing wood work intermittently for about 5 years. It is getting to the point that if I don't make at least one MAJOR mess up on a project, I wonder where I made one that I haven't...
Irvin,
Is the back a solid glue up? I can't tell for sure. If so, I hate to ask... did you allow for a lot of expansion across the back? With central heat and cooling in our house, I can get an...
Art,
I also started with TW blades. I couldn't get them to flutter (or to quit?) either. They were not steady, but never changed. This was on a Delta 14" US last model. This is my only rip...
OH! And don't forget that most "yellow" glues need their required temps until they FULLY setup. Otherwise they will chalk, which isn't good.
My zoned Train unit for the house will not let us set...
Did I miss something? The specs you show say "phase: single", if I read them right.
David
Hoa, didn't mention, but Scott's prices are excellent too. If he says it isn't practical (to have them sharpened), I believe him. Also, the fact that he did not suggest another brand, distresses...
I think there is more hazzard from breathing the fumes than from explosion. A few years ago someone, I can't remember his name at the moment, tried to light paint fumes and even solvent as it was...
The only problem that I see, is that it appears that the bit is BARELY held in the collet! Or maybe his shank is way longer than mine. That sled is pretty thick.
David
John is right. You have to use the mix that is stated by the epoxy manufacturer. Nothing else will work.
What is the purpose of the filler? It can be murder on cutting tools. The "sil" can...
Tom,
How about designing a Toothpaste Color Separator? :eek:
David
Almost everything I have is drywalled. Most of it is textured. But I had the same result with wood panelling. My experience with my (can't remember current make and model, but I've had about 3)...
Charlie,
Lacquer and shellac are about the same hardness according to Flexner, Dresdner, and Jewitt. That is why they both rub out well. Varnish is more tough than hard, again according to them....
I wish pics could show what this thing looks like in "real life". I got to see a bunch of early cuts laid out together. It is awesome!
Thanks for giving the weight, Terry. That should keep me...
Ian, is right about the end grain. I would test end grain on a sample piece before doing it on the actual project. If it stains too darkly, try sanding the end grain only to about 400 grit first.
