Jim, I wouldn't worry about impeller size. It's just one of many design factors that affect performance. Just compare performance curves, and of course other factors that are important to your...

Those are all good suggestions, Jim. My Oneida rep said the rule of thumb for the size of the return air vent is one square foot for each 500 CFM, so for the V-System 3000 that would be about three...
Paul and Jim, thank you both for your comments. They influenced by decision today to buy an Oneida V-Series 3000. I also ordered the remote and Dust-Sentry drum-full warning device.
The Oneida...
Paul, your suggestion has led me to what I think might be my ideal solution, and I'd like your views on it. First, a bit of background. In my previous shop I had a circa-2000 1.5 hp Oneida with a...
I am in a similar position and currently weighing the options. The Oneda's are nice, but very pricey. The current cost of the Mini Gorilla with various options that I would get is as follows: $730...
This thread is rather old, so how about an update? What did you decide and how has it worked out?
I finally got through and was told my July 2 order would ship Monday. Fingers crossed.

Over the weekend I emailed Jointech to enquire about the status of an order I placed July 2 (three weeks ago). I had never received a shipping confirmation and/or tracking number. I received no...
Jeff,
As you referred to yourself as a newbie, it may be worth reminding you that, if the bottom is solid wood, you can't glue it in place. The cross-grain dimension will change with the...
It may be worth a mention that one of the advantages of the Bench Dog is that, being steel, it allows you to use magnetic featherboards and hold-downs. I have a BD with the PC 7518 and am very...
I wouldn't be so fast to rule out ash. It's a beautiful wood to work with, stains well and is reasonably inexpensive. If you don't like the look of its grain, quartersawn ash might provide the...
Thanks, Bob. The "data sheets" for the kerf hinges sold by Rockler show they are made by Craft-Inc.

I would like to try using kerf (aka "barbed") hinges with my next batch of small boxes. (For those unfamiliar with these, one cuts slots in the top and body of the box, using a special thin-kerf...
I agree. That article was written by Doug Stowe, who has written several books on box-making. The technique he describes in the article for joining the top is the one David Keller suggested. Stowe...
I question whether an alarm would be useful. One alternative is a device that almost instantly stops and/or withdraws the blade, ala Sawstop. Another approach, which I have not seen tried, is to...
I bought one (for a Sawstop) and found the table was warped. It took months to get that replaced, after many calls to Jessem, due to absolutely horrible customer support. When I finally received the...
That's the PC 121. I had one, and found it a very well-build tool. However, its main utility is in portable use, especially for truing and smoothing counter edges (using an included edging...
I too have the General 15-220 M, and am very happy with it. It is virtually identical to the Jet. As with the Jet, an optional 3" drum is available. (Stangely, Gerenal doesn't sell an insert for the...
For the Wilton 63155, the distance from the outer face to the end of the squarish channel that encloses the screw is 14-7/8". This dimension is independent of the position of the outer face.

Yes, it is a Create-A-Bed. I have built just one, and found it very time-consuming. I think Jamie's estimate is pretty good. I found the plans to be pretty good, with no errors, but it takes some...
With a $10 coffee grinder, I expect. That's what I use.
Cary
Rick,
I think epoxy would be a good choice--perhaps the only choice--considering that you'd like the veneer to adhere to the magnets as well as to the wood.
I suggest you experiment with...
I have the Wilton 63155, which I bought from Amazon a copy of years ago:
93391
I see it is now sold by an Amazon merchant for about $150, quite a bit more than what I paid, and no free shipping.
...
I agree with Wayne on this, and would point out that these two attributes come as a package: the only reason manufacturers incur the added expense of moving the motor up and back, and adding gears or...
I have a 12" Dewalt CMS that generally meets my needs. I got it about three years ago. It's up against a wall, so my choices were limited. I did consider an Hitachi slider (at the time, the only...
