American Woodworker #118 - November 2005

I was standing next to a sawstop where someone did exactly that. I was a nice gentle pop and only put a nick in the miter fence.

Ok another one for you. This one is old but free

How to design and construct period furniture is an excellent source. It covers a wide range of styles and gives many details and drawings.

Delta is made is US, Sawstop is mostly made in Taiwan( I think the electronics are made in US but I am not 100% sure). Powermatic is either Taiwan or China

I have a Jet 1642 lathe and it exhibits the same behavior. I called Jet and it is typical with VFD powered drives. I still have a few non GFCI circuits available so it is not really a problem for me

I was in a similar situation except I didn’t even have a 240V circuit, just a 15 amp 120V. My garage is detached and I found that the outdoor circuit going to my deck was a 20 amp. I bought a 20 amp...

I thought the riving knife was a relatively new idea until I ran across an large old Tannewitz table saw with a cast iron sliding table and a true riving knife.

I used the tigerfoam kit to do my Garage/Workshop. The area is 24X26 and I received a quote of $3,000 for a local spray foam contractor. This was for the walls and the first floor ceiling (over 8')...

A 36 inch is also available but is harder to find

Two issues come to my mind when you ask this question. The first deals with the absolute accuracy needed. Most of use would probably agree .0000001 out of alignment would not be an issue. I assume...

Did you check your miter gauge for nicks? you may have hit it when you beveled the blade. I saw a live demonstration of that happening.

From my manual:

Standard Speeds

The standard speeds obtained on this machine when using a 1,725 r.p.m. motor are 680, 1250, 2400 and 4800 rpm for the high speed models; 470, 780, 1300 and...

I bought a Kreg Miter Guage and when the box arrived it had a made in america notice on the box. I went to install it and the plastic package with the screws and other mounting hardware had extras of...

I've been waiting also. I did see a price of around $2500.00 for the 36 inch fence model but it looks like other parts are a la cart so it's hard to know what the total price will really be.

I...

One thing you might try:

The DJ20 is an 8 inch jointer and if you are jointing an 8 inch or so board you have to run the fence all the way out. If you are edge jointing or jointing a board...

Sounds like you’re getting some good advice. I would add a few things to what already has been said.

First, my impressions are based on my purchase which was a couple of years ago and the new grinders may be different.

The tool rests on the woodcraft are on the small side and they get bolted...

I just finished installing a 50 amp but I already had 15 amp service which I left alone. if you do 50 or 100 be sure to get a sub panel with extra breaker slots.

It looks like the one I bought a couple of years ag. If it is you are going to have to invest in a tool rest and the one that comes with it is not very good. I bought the Veritas so you have to...

I had some bad experiences at Beaver so I tend to stay away from there if I can. There is a Rockler in Cambridge and one further north in Danvers. There is Woodcraft just over the border in...

Woburn store is a lot smaller.

Have you tries Burns in Fall River?

Peter, Your right. I just had 50 amp service added to mine and it's more then adequate. The electrician did convince me to spend a little extra and get a panel with space for more breakers.

I...

I checked on mine and the cost was very high even for just the rails.

Art Deco should probably be included on the list. Nice topic.
