I have had the Sunhill 8" jointer for about 5 years. It is the CT204-L model that came with handwheels and bed extensions. While the jointer functions fine, there is a noticeable difference between...
Count me in.
Thanks!
During use the saw can frequently be abused/dropped. Manufacturers simulate this during product testing with "drop tests" from various heights.
Most "sidewinder" circular saws have no plastic...
I've purchased a number of the electronic ballast T8 shop grade fixtures.
All 6 of the 4-bulb T8 fixtures that I purchased from HD (Lithonia brand) are dead quiet. The one 2-bulb T8 fixture I...
Another vote for the knives being too high in relation to the outfeed table. I went through the exact same thing when setting up a brand new jointer. It turns out that all of the knives were not...
I purchased an $8 48" aluminum straight-edge from Sears, brought it in to work where I could check it on our granite surface plate. I couldn't get a .0015" feeler gauge under any portion of it. ...
Dan,
In reading another thread on Byrd cutterheads one person mentioned an increase in the force necessary to run the board through vs. a standard straight knife head.
Have you seen this effect...
Craig,
After looking at your website and video I must say I am very impressed with your product, the Bowclamp. I'm interested in placing an order, but have one question:
You show the Bowclamp...
I also purchased that level with the freebies. It seems to be a decent level for the money, especially with the extras. However, Home Depot sells (for $35) another version of this level that...
I purchased an inexpensive aluminum straight edge from Sears for less than $10. I took it to work and measured it on a granite surface plate and was not able to fit a .0015" feeler guage under any...
I have one of the original wooden body grip-tites without any extras. I have been thinking about upgrading to the pro system with the steel fence plate in order to take advantage of the roller...
John,
I’m almost ready to place my name on the order list! Just one more question:
My understanding is that with the larger planers the infeed or outfeed serrated rollers will leave...
From the personal experiences related here I have read that a benefit of the Shelix is reduced effort in feeding the stock across the cutterhead. I would think that this would translate to a...
John, nice review. I've been considering the upgrade to a 15" planer for a while. I've been eying the Yorkcraft since I read a pretty good review in a recent WW magazine.
One thing I don't...
I've just purchased several hundred square feet of engineered hardwood flooring designed to "float" over a moisture barrier over a concrete floor. It has one thin bottom ply, one thick quartersawn...
For those with the larger, stationary planers: What has your experience been with snipe on these machines? If the infeed/outfeed rollers and chipbreaker are properly adjusted and the board has been...
Incra TS3. Perfect repeatability with micrometer style micro-adjust.
I have had the Sunhill 8" jointer for a couple of years now. Functionally, I have had no problems with the jointer. Tables were flat and fence was square. It leaves a nice finish and is very...
Jim,
What model/size of the General Intl planer do you have? I have been looking at the model (30-115 M1) recently reviewed in Popular Woodworking. The main complaint they had in the article was...
I already own a couple of good circular saws and routers, so I'll be going with the EurekaZone system. It looks like it will do everything I want it to.
I don't currently own a guide rail system, but I will own one soon. My current setup for breaking down sheet goods is a sacrificial cutting table and circular saw guide system as described in the...
I also apply paste wax over the T-9. I have found a single application of T-9 sufficient to prevent rust for years, as long as I apply the paste wax as needed for slickness.
Boeshield also works...
I recently set up an 8" jointer using a cheap readily available aluminum straight edge. I picked up a 4' straight edge from Sears for about $8, then brought it in to my workplace and checked it out...
I have found a very helpful forum populated by tile professionals who are very willing to help amateurs with tile questions. Check out www.johnbridge.com.
All of my tile questions have been...
