I have the 40 volt Ryobi, it works fine. I also have their power head with the weed eater, edger and mini tiller attachements. The first two work great, the tiller not so much. I also have a...

To update my response upthread, I have replaced my LS parallel positioner setup with a prototype Proscale DRO setup. I worked with one of the engineers at Proscale to use a couple of different parts...
The Delta 12/14s are great saws. I had one for a number of years and the only reason I got rid of it was I got a 12" x 8.5" slider. The extra real estate is nice. Most of them are three phase, and...
I had a subscription to Woodsmith from the beginning until about 15 years ago. When I was just getting into woodworking, it was a great reference and I got a lot of project ideas from it. I had all...
I used to use Woodcraft, and last year I ordered some blades from Union Grove. They still had all of John's contact info (a box of index cards, I believe) and they hired his blade welder. The...
+2. I don't know if ours is an Agri Fab but other than the color it looks just like it. I think I got it at Tractor Supply. It does a great job on our .95 acre of pine needles and mixed hardwoods....
I have built a couple of shower benches. I used tropical deck hardwoods, ipe and afromosia, I believe. The first one I made for my wife and myself and it's held up for four years or so without any...
I have a Minimax SC4E slider. A couple of years ago I put Proscale DROs on the crosscut fence stops. I also added a parallel positioner using an Incra positioner. The Incra worked fine but it's...
I have a 36" single phase (10 HP) Safety Speed I got at AWFS ten or so years ago. For a one man, low volume shop it works very well and is simple and easy to work on. I recently put a Proscale DRO...
I have a couple of the little USB rechargable mini rotary tools you can get on line. With a sanding drum they are great for foot maintenance.
I have a whole house natural gas Kohler. The last time I had it serviced was 4/21 and the price was $412 which includes the tax, fees and travel from Salt Lake City to northern Utah. I'm going to...
I generally use a Sureform rasp followed by the planer/widebelt/ROS.
According to my Amazon purchase history I have been wearing Wigwam cotton socks since 2014. I generally wear them late spring to mid fall, then switch to Ortis merino wool blend for colder weather....
Why is it necessary to disable the ethernet function if nothing is plugged into the ports?
I solved the OP's problem by adding another Google WiFi puck in my shop hardwired to the Ethernet that...
This. The wagon should come set slightly above the adjacent CI table from the factory.
I have an Acme edger and an Apex 20" disk. If I found a 20" disk sander and didn't have one, I would find room for it. They aren't that big. I drove from Northern Utah to Phoenix to pick up mine,...
Snapper rear engine riding mower. I just bought an early '90s model that works as well as the day it was built (the engine has been upgraded to 11 HP). Takes about five minutes to change out the...
I do the same thing. I use off rips from a local millwork shop that I get free from the dumpster, and most of it started out as 4/4 or 5/4 stock, so my boards end up between 3/4 and 7/8" thick. ...
I sent them an email asking if they could sharpen Lennox Woodmaster CT blades. Someone got back to me that evening that they could.
I have an older 4 x 120" Acme non oscillating edge sander. It gets used all the time, one of my most used tools. The only thing I would change on it would be to make it 6" wide.
As far as...
The original pictures look to me like soft maple that's starting to spalt. I used thousands of b/f of red alder when I was teaching in Washington, and it all looked exactly like the stuff in Steve's...
I generally run my stock through the widebelt with 100 grit right out of the planer. Then I glue up, then widebelt the completed piece to 100 to 220, then ROS sand with 180, 220, and, rarely, 320. ...
Some of you may have used Woodcraft Bands (not affiliated with the woodworking store) in North Carolina. I used them for my smaller bandsaw blades because their prices were very competitive and they...
Better forward visibility. At least, that's why I did it.
I sure wish I had known about that about 20 years ago when I was maintaining over an eighth of a mile of gravel driveway. It would have worked way better than the box blade and angle scraper, and...
