I have used almost all of them and if I had my choice for shop use I would set up 3 saws: one that did nothing but 90 cuts, one that did nothing but 45 cuts and one that I could swing (none of them...
I have been to every Lowes and Home Depot within a 50 mile radius of my home. Over the past few years things have changed between the 2 of them.

How about adjusting router rpm, feed rate and depth of cut to minimize or eliminate the need for sanding?
Just as and FYI (and a possible pat on my back), here is the home theatre portion of the basement. When you are lucky enough to have design control over someone elses' house, it really is alot of...

I've had my best tenon results using the band saw or table saw without a jig.
In either case, layout the tenon and cut using the band saw or a dado blade in the table saw, staying just shy of the...
My sentiments exactly! If my name is going to be attached to it, it will be done properly. This helps build repeat business for customers and for your personal projects, you'll spend far less time...
As it seems that just about everything is made of red oak these days, I have just simply gotten sick of it.
