I think the long chips simply hang up in the corrugations of the hose and again when they reach the X shape at the inlet of the dust collector. Breaking these chips into small pieces would eliminate...

Sometimes the chips off my planer (DeWalt DW733) look the ones you show, but not always. It seems to depend on the wood. Cherry, yes. Hard Maple - a definite no. And now I've begun planing Alaskan...
For those of you that use a planer with a shelix cutter head, Byrd or other, does it make a lot of small chips that are easily cleared away?
I ask because with my current planer with a lot of...
I marked Delta. Because that's what I did. All my big tools (3 of them) are Delta. But today Delta isn't making all the big stuff I use.
So today, money and space being no object - Felder or...
After perusing the other replies, I'll toss in my 2 cents.
Wood gains/loses moisture over time. You have a supply of material that you're not ready to use. If it were me, I'd keep it out of the...
Disclaimer: I have and use a new design Unisaw with a 3hp motor. The version with two hand wheels on the front.
I think what you propose is a lot of effort for not a lot of gain. Yeah, you get the...
You'll need more than the brass. There's a bunch of screws and some other stainless steel bits too. Not to mention the paper cord. I've got everything I need for this. I may go with hard maple for...
Yup. Things needed to make things. I've got a nice trammel to guide my router to cut ellipses now as a result of one project.
One may think of a router table in a similar light. A router table is...
I also have a DJ-20. I'm really sorry to hear this. What other parts are no longer available? :(
Update: I just reviewed the list of available parts for the DJ-20 on ereplacements.com It appears...
I'm not bothered much by the cracking, but considering that walnut is actually fairly common around here, I wouldn't pay very much for boards that I'm going to have to put a lot of work into to get...
I get bit by problems like that once in a while. A problem so obvious it's TOO obvious.
I too am going to build this chair. Besides the seat cord there's plenty of other hardware to buy to make it. I spent a good sum at McMaster getting that stuff.
So you've figured out how to use a Chevy big block V-8 to power your thickness planer?
Sure. I use the cheap chip clearing brushes all the time. I use them for small tasks like touch up. I don't lose very many bristles. Those that I do I have to pick out. Upon completion I simply toss...
That's sad
I have an L shaped jig that I clamp on and use as a template guide for a router with a ball bearing guided straight bit. Well, helical, actually. I get the cheek cut and the shoulder. Then flip it...
Wow! Impressive. Well, not really. That had to be a surprise.
I have the Incra lift too. I wouldn't want to go back to my old router table without it. Mine sits in what is essentially the NYW deluxe router table. I also have a micro adjust for the fence.

I suspect that those who print the free pdf will be surprised or not know why the chair they built doesn't look quite the same as the one in the magazine. In fact, there may not be enough shoulder...
I started out wanting to know the exact dimensions of the parts. For my own amusement if nothing else.
So I began by importing the PDF into my 3D CAD to trace it. But while I was doing the tracing...
All that talk I read about setting knives on the jointer. Dial indicators, fancy magnetic doodads, and on and on. Fooie.
I had a Craftsman 6" jointer/planer (their name, not mine) and replaced it...
I kinda did that - I downloaded the plans they have (PDF format) and traced them in CAD. They're full size and then I took that drawing to Fedex Office and had them make a print for me. That...
I built some from PT landscape timbers I got at HD. I glued them together with gorilla glue and then primed them, sealed all gaps with caulk and then painted them brown. The goal was to protect them...
yup. I've got a Leigh D4. I use it when the project requires dovetails.
1/4"
But just for fun and because I have the bit for doing it, I might try making a finger joint. But that's just me. :)
