I have a set of Columbian bits and they look like the Woodcraft set including the box. Fine Woodworking's 2010 tool review gave high marks to both the Woodcraft and Grizzly line of bits.

I bought this one a few months ago.

Thank you for the replies. I have tried cutting full sheets into quarters, but they are always a little too short to stay clamped on my sanders. I'll take a lok at Klingspor and 2sand.

I do...

I am looking for a source for 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" sand paper for a palm sander. I can find the small packs at HD, but would like to buy in bulk of 20 sheets or more. I did a search on here and...

Thanks for the comments. I was also wondering about the new Stanley planes.

This is going up on the wall in my classroom this coming week! Yes, I'm a teacher and I...

I still use the Craftsman 12 amp that I bought 15 years ago for ~$40. A couple years ago I tried a 36 tooth thin kerf blade in place of a 24 tooth combo blade. That thin kerf, 36 tooth made it like a...

Another vote for 90/91. Bought a 1587 a while back, kept it one night and took it back for a 1590. No regrets spending the extra money.

Johnny,

I looked at it again under a magnifying glass and I think you're right. It's 11" long and has 5" of blade. Some very light surface rust in a few places but that's it. Paid $3 for...

A good bit of flooding here and some trees down but no other damage on the Fran/Floyd level.

I've got both types growing on my property. If it's not raining tomorrow, I'll try it. I've always told them apart by the leaves and the bark, plus the tint of the wood. Perhaps I've been fooling...

The two water fountains in my gym are held up with French cleats. The cleats are metal, but I think ply would hold them as well and both fountains are well above 75 pounds. Each is held up with...

I bought a wood chisel at the Habitat store today and have a question about the maker. I can't make out all of the name but it appears to be three words. The second looks like "Stuna" and the third...

I own two businesses. One is an S-Corp and the other is an LLC. The S-Corp is a service provider, with~20 employees, while the LLC is involved in renting/leasing commercial real estate and has only...

Before going to an outside agency, your teacher needs to consider the consequences to his career.. I've taught in North Carolina for 20+ years and bringing in an outside agency would be putting a...

Very cool!:cool:

I have a Ryobi 0.5" corded drill that is going on 15 years old. It's only 5.5 amps but still works great. It has a triple reduction gear and gives plenty of torque. It is the drill I take to school...

Very sad news. :(

Had one semester of woodshop in Jr. high with a teacher whose name I can't remember. He was a good teacher with a lot of knowedge but so many hoodlums and goof offs were dumped in his class that he...

Art, thanks for your post, specifically points 1 and 2. When I was in grad school, I saw that almost all research funding was from public and private corporations. While the departments of...

I always liked Steve Thomas. I thought he came acros as knowledgeable but sedate. So many hosts on tv now act like they're on speed.

I find it interesting that Bob Vila was fired due to his...

A buddy of mine went the route that several of you suggest. he bought a Craftsman 30 bit set for $99 then bought better ones as he dulled the originals. After remodeling a 11 room farm house,...

Keith,
Again, I'm late to see this. I spent some time on the CNU website and you're weren't kidding about the changes. When I was there, it seemed like a sleepy, but very nice, little...

I have several Hitachi power tools and like them all quite well, but why does Hitachi make them so ugly? They look like basketball shoes.
