Joel, I really liked the FB510 and the Hammer A3-31, I don't have them anymore, but not for any negative reasons regarding the machines. They performed great and I had very few complaints. I wound...

very nice setup and shop Andy. Hammer makes nice stuff.

Brodie,

I recently downsized my shop and went from separates to a 5in1 combo. I'm just a hobby guy so I wasn't too worried about changeover or workflow to meet deadlines. It saves quite a bit of...

I was thinking of dying the component pieces, then doing a glue up,...a method similar to how an open weave cutting board design is made. Not sure if that is the route to go but I'll experiment.

i'm making a large lazy Susan to look like the tartan pattern of the Welsh family name Roberts. I need to make three shades of blue and 1 shade of red. I'm thinking of using a dye (like aniline...

Bill, I had an A3-31 JP combo and it exceeded my very high expectations as a hobby woodworker. From my experience, it was easy to set up, it held its settings, and in my humble opinion it...

wow, i'm stunned the machine still ran with how packed the bin, filter and cyclone became. How the heck did 1,000 bf of chips get compacted into the system...5 times? Sorry to hear about the quality...

Nice score Brian! I had that same exact setup for a while and it served me very well. I had also picked up a used Ridgid (added the incra later) and I though it was such a great value for the money.

I have the Lamb triangle and I really like it for dialing in my slider. I constantly swap out tools when I find something I believe will be better suited to my task...I sell what I don't need/want...

I am supposed to get my 2hp Portable Dust Gorilla delivered tomorrow. It will take me a few weeks before I have time to get it up and running. I can PM you after I get it running and give you...

i just picked up a used minimax mm16 and i'm starting the process of cleaning it up. I saw the motor pulley wheel, in the center of it, has a place where it looks like it could take a fastener/bolt...

yes! Like and idiot, I used to think that if the old timey WW'ers from 100+ years ago weren't dropping like flies in the 40-50 year old range from lung diseases, then WWing probably isn't a big risk...

400 sq ft can get tight if you have a lot of equipment. I would think the MM16 has a slightly smaller footprint and overall area it takes up...and it packs the same punch, so you're not giving up...

don't worry about spending $ on tools, if you get one that doesn't work out for you, do a catch and release by selling it in the creek classifieds or on c-list and now you have $ to buy another tool....

That happens to me quite often, I search for something, can't find it, then a day or two after I buy an alternative, the thing I was first looking for is available. too funny. if you ever want WP...

Agreed, if it's accurate it'll be a nice tool, but given I have no experience with their stuff, you never know until you get your hands on the product.

I'll try to post a product review after I...

Agree with you Dale, some tools are so dang expensive. sometimes it takes me a while to save the money to buy a super high quality tool, but 99% of the time I love using the tool and it helps me to...

To square up the fences on my slider table saw I looked for a used WP 2616 square but didn't find one. Instead I found something that does the trick AND it has additional angle setting features. ...

1) If you have this machine, would you buy it again? Is there anything with it that you regret or would like to change?

I have the A3-31. 18 months now. Yes, I would have no problem buying it...

You also have the option of doing an all wood movement. I've made a few, it's fun. Here are a few good sites with plans for sale:

You're right, it's not the quill, it's the guidepost. not sure why i called it the quill

Think it was my fault, but not sure (didn't tighten the quill). I made a quick 5 second cut through a 1/2 inch thick piece of maple about 9 inches long, I hit the kill switch, applied some pressure...

Mike, i got a promotional email from Felder, I read it (but since deleted it) and I am 99.9% certain the promo info on the ceramic guides said they retrofit to the Hammer 4400 and 3800

I sent the protractor back to Amazon for a full refund. I gave that brand and exact same model two chances and both had the issue. I have no idea if it was just defective, or a counterfeit, etc.,...

Agree, I'm getting a full refund through Amazon. I'm going to grab a vintage Mitutoyo (japan made, not mexico or brazil)
