The fence may be flat but often the workpiece isn't or has some twist where the corner of it might hang on the table. If the OP has work hanging, its either the fence or the work is slightly off...
I've gone from a TS only (handheld jigsaw for curves) to a BS shop only to a shop with both.
First was a full-time cabinet shop and for the production need of building casework, the TS was...
Just take a file or some coars sandpaper and slightly break the edge on the outfeed side. That should stop the hangup. I did the same on the slots where the fence slides and at the hole for the...
For upper cabinets, I always use(d) the vertical orientation as the cabinets are opened frequently and are at eye level. As the typical cut is an 11 1/4 rip you won't have much waste. If uppers are...

Its just a plastic one for 35mm ones. For repetitive holes you could use a story stick and mark from there.

I bought, at one of the big stores, some of the 2' x 4' fixtures designed for T bar ceilings. As my ceiling joists were 24" oc, the fixtures wouldn't quite go between the 2x4 joists. My ceiling is...
Made some inquiries on another forum and found:
The Bosch 1617 is motor only.
The router part of the table is plate only w/o lift. However, I believe the 1617 has some adjustment capabilities on...
Its for a Jet cabinet saw with extension table, router and router table?

I did some price checking and its an outstanding deal but some...
you finished them in place. If so, why did you choose not to finish them in the shop. I know that Deft has some strong fumes and it must have been tough in the house for a while.
I use this stop along with the linked cabinetmakers rules. The stop and rules have been one of the handiest additions to my arsenal, making it easy to transfer measurements.
I can see there might...
Reading Jeff Jewitt's Great Wood Finishes there is a chapter featuring a pickled ash nightstand. it is similar in concept (only)to the 'whitewash' look that was popular on cabinets but so much...
Just for general information, here's a good link on the properties of various woods:

$35, ouch. I want to make something. I bet I can cobble that together wandering up and down the aisle at the hardware store that has all the little drawers.
I was planning on using short bar...
Actually, I was looking to make something to assist in clamping perpendicular. I will be using some biscuits to help with alignment of the joint but, as most of my clamps are Pony 3/4" pipe clamps,...

The Plasma can be viewed from a much greater angle than the LCD
I saw an ad over the weekend for an LCD that claimed a 178 degree viewing angle. It would appear the LCD manufacturers...
I thought this weekend I would make some jigs and accessories. As I am planning some projects that will have tops and panel glueups, I thought I ought to make some clamping cauls. I could use some...
If you decide to spray instead of brushing lacquer, get a vapor style respirator. The 3M ones for about $40 should do nicely. Even using a spray can of lacquer will gag you. Nasty stuff.
The purple comes back on its own. You can enhance it by making a weak ammonia/water wash and wipe it on before setting in the sun to dry. It will purplize it. Don't recall the proportions so...
I'm in CA, southern part and not sure whether its state or federal regs but sales of many products with high levels of Volatile Organic Compounds have been restricted to quart size and smaller and...
Al asked:
What does RC or PS stand for, that might help.
RC is Rift Cut. Similar to Quarter Sawn but cut to minimize the flecking found in QS.
PS: Plain Sliced: Veneer is cut parallel to the...
Look for the 99-264 in the Freud. Its a chamfered profile, less busy, and can be used with several different styles of furniture. Using a classic or Ogee doesn't fit with A&C or Modern styles. ...
unless you are looking for a reason to buy a DP and no one will fault you for that. The holesaw will cut cleanly and the expense of the mandrel and saw shouldn't exceed twice the cost of a circle...
I've done doors as shown but ran the stile across the full length of the bottom, then countersunk for small diameter brass screws to fasten the bottom stile on. If the glass breaks, you remove the...
