    Mobile bases...how easy to move?

    Hi. I have a 14" Grizzly G0555x bandsaw on a Shop Fox mobile base. The casters spin freely but moving the bandsaw, even forwards and backwards, on the level concrete floor still takes a fair amount...
  4. Anybody seen the new Jet JJP combo units in action?

    Woodcraft's website has shown the 8" JJP-8BT and the 10" JJP-10BTOS for a while now. They're removed the "pre-order" blurb so I assume these are available now but my local store has neither in the...

    Funny you should mention that! I've had my eye on one at Northern Tool that seems to get pretty good reviews. I've also toyed with the idea of getting a small 15-30k BTU propane heater but the...

    How cold is too cold?

    My attached garage/shop is unheated and on a day where the outdoor temperatures approach 0F, it drops to the mid-30s (empirically, the garage temp sits midway between the outdoor temp and the house...

    While Sears' explanation could be plausible if the fence is constructed from two or more types of metal with different thermal expansion coefficients, it smacks of poor design.

    Consider yourself lucky. Woodworking tools tend to be a rare breed on the three craigslists within 80-90 miles of me. About once a week someone will list a small jointer or tablesaw. Since last...

    There's not a whole lot of additional maintenance beyond the obvious. Check the oil level periodically. Change the oil periodically (my compressor recommends an oil change every 100 hours but Dad...
