I used a wire wheel chucked in a drill for a redwood slab and it worked fine. I used a dental pick for some of the more stubborn areas.

Hi Trevor, I have some old Stanley levels of various lengths. Original Stanley boxes, packed in sawdust. I can check later today. Do you know what size you need?

I have a Reuge movement and plan I purchased through Rockler. They don't sell it anymore. I think you can still get the movement through Reuge.
Bingo! We have a winner!
What about getting a top from Grizzly or another company and then using a less expensive wood for the base? I bought a maple top and then used birch for the base. At the time birch was half the price...
Like some of the others, I have had mine for 3-4 years and purchased it without the fence. Does the website list the fence under accessories or as part of the saw?
Danish oil would work.
Here's mine. Birch base, 34 x 96 maple top and bloodwood drawer fronts. Used a mix of Federal blue and Cypress green milk paint. The drawers on the left are actually two big drawers to house power...
I second the ply...
Home Depot. Just regular ol' bolts.
I originally bought the saw without the table, thinking I would just make my own. Well, long story short, I ordered it -slapped it on and don't regret not making one.
As form the base, I have...
I'm thinking either saw will provide a lifetime of service. Trunnion design might play a factor in a commercial shop but for the average woodworker, you aren't going to notice the difference.
Ok, just checked the website. Still available and $129. Have not compared it to the GUV or others.
Costco had one around Christmas time. Haven't seen it the last couple of times I'v been in. It was a little more compact than the GUV and was around $180 or so.
Being self employed, would injuring your hand cause you to lose time for work? If it brings a little peace of mind to your wife and keeps you working, seems like a win-win situation. And why not buy...
I've had mine for a couple of years and it is a terrific saw. But, my previous saw was an old Delta contractor saw, so moving to any cabinet saw is going to be a nice jump. Any of the top cabinet...
I see at least three options.
1. Place a lag screw through each end rail. One on each end should be enough to hold it down but still give it wiggle room.
2. Angle a lag through the leg up into...
Have you tried contacting one of the Makita service centers? They might be able to shed some light on the problem. Or see if there is an owners manual online.

...I'm thinking toothpicks...hundreds of thousands of toothpicks...
Hi Bob, that looks just like mine! I'm not sure how the parts are separated but I think you can find parts diagrams on the internet. If you are going to replace the rollers, the parts place might...
Chris' book is a very good start. I would also take a look at the Landis and the Schleining book. All have good info and each has a little different feel. I think once you start flipping through the...
What about a nice Wayne Anderson plane or others in that stratosphere?
Well, nothing to add wood wise that hasn't already been said, so I'll just say welcome to the neighborhood. What area of Roseville?

I've had mine for a number of years and haven't had any problems. I don't use it much, but when I do it does what I want it to do. Pretty basic stuff.
