Excellent and thank you, never thought of Grizzly, ordered one last night, can't beat $13.00:)
Have a great day

Thank You for your kind words, very much appreciated. I put woodworking on hold to pursue another career that didn't work out. Moved my shop to the eastern shore of Nova Scotia, beautiful view right...
Greetings Folks, been a long time since I was here.
I am back into woodworking full time and recently moved the shop, during the move the movers broke the dust chute for this planer and as luck...
First off, congradulations and become really good friends with that mill owner. Where I live all types of maple, birch, ash and elm is very plentiful and there are small to good sized mills it seems...
I was speaking with a friend who is also a woodworker last night and he made the same comment. I credit a lot to the tools, with tools that are properly set up it makes this stuff a breeze to...
Thanks Dan, I have always tried to involve Seth who is now 16 and Esther in what I do and it seems to have paid off. Seth who is now in grade 11 has turned into a professional woodworker and the...
For the past year Esther has been after me to build her a new bedroom suite, being 13 the bunk bed set I built years ago just didn’t cut it anymore. Since she likes to change her mind on a regular...
I have about 60 of their bits which some see extreme use in the shop making hundreds of feet of picture frame molding in exotic woods. I rate them good to excellent. I have used all of the big name...
In your case Bill and having known you online since this all started and knowing your history, and amazied at the research you have done, I think you should be paid for your efforts based on your...
I have a DW618 in the Quick lift and it is simply amazing and IMHO worth a lot more than they charge for it. Don't go with the molded one, I had issues with mine and they replaced it no questions...
My shop generates a hobby/commercial income but I have somewhat of a budget. I upgrade one major tool a year anything under $250. if needed is just purchased, anything that brakes down is just...
Depending on what you are doing. The bigger unit would out perform on stock 8"+ (hardwoods and exotics) and is made for very long production runs however if you want a glass like finish then the...
It is two speed and on the slowest....I think I'll have to keep the Delta 13" benchtop as I always take my framing stock direct from the planer to a light sanding.....I used to have a 20" General...
I bought a new X5, Delta 15" planer and finally set it up today and dialer it in. In domestic hardwoods the results are excellent, in exotics I see ripples in the sunlight, I am used to the 22-580...
I have the woodpeckers quicklift with a DW618 and would not be without it. For years I have had a DW625 and a Frued FT2000E in LV steel tables without a lift and managed very well however after using...
A bit of a rant<G>
I bought this property back in 1986 because it was way outside city limits, I always wanted lots of room for a shop, place at the time for future kids to play, on a lakem...
No, it has to do with zoning. Although I have over 4 acres, the property is zoned residential and impossible to change. The insurance company said any residential property with a home that has an out...
I've had a wood stove in the shop for 16 years, even when I worked in there full time and have no complaints. I did however buy a pellet stove last year and would not be without it, works...
IMHO, Thuya Burl and Cherry is a killer combo, I use it in turnings and in flat work, especially with curly cherry.
I use the Silco line, it can be confusing as they have so many. What I did was ask my exotic supplier what they use and went with them. I think my cost CDN $$ is around $17.00 and I am here to tell...
Only Hakansson, Their Canadian warehouse is located here in Halifax, massive operation, I believe they also have one somewhere in the New England states, send me a PM as to what you are looking for...
I've tried a lot of blades over the years from the Woodslicer to the Timberwolf as I resaw exotics and figured woods almost daily. One of the suppliers of my exotics recommended Hakansson blades a...
As noted one can rate an entire company by one employee, I have had excellent dealings with Highland. I also have over 400 people that work for me and I doubt they are 100% with every customer they...
I bought the Byrd head from Sunhill It works great, took about 8 weeks to receive but I expected that after reading from others.
