    Definitely not. Even in a dry climate it'll gradually start turning into something like cardboard from the outside in.

    I've used it on cherry. Slightly darker initially than BLO (and more uniform), but of course after a few months of cherry's natural darkening anyone would be hard pressed to tell the difference.

    I've got two of the smaller C'Man in my router collection. Exceptional value, worklight, reasonable dust collection, and standard (for PC bushings) baseplates. However the fixed base on at least one...

    I suspect you mean voltage tester but in any case relying on a $10 model can be dangerous as they act exactly the same indicating a dead circuit as when they fail or are turned off. For a little more...

    1) I'd stop with the gray pad. Problem with trying to finish metal with sandpaper is it breaks down so fast. 220 becomes 400 then 600 then wears out entirely in pretty short order. Makes it hard to...

    I've used the Bostik on twist drills. Really helped clear the chips & avoid overheating on some deep bores. Only caveat is it has a distinctly unpleasant STINK (like burning rubber) until it dries....

    Similar experience, plus a 40 mi round trip to their SC to exchange the packs. Seems they went out of their way to locate it as far away from the population centers (and dealers) as possible in this...

    I'd suggest trying a thin-kerf blade if you haven't already. It's the equivalent of adding ~25% hp.

    They certainly beat running at only full speed, but I found I had to watch the feed rate carefully and maybe set a higher initial RPM to avoid bogging down. I've never investigated how the integrated...

    In addition to not working with VS routers, the external controls aren't the best solution for another reason. Since the external control only reduces power to the motor (no feedback), the torque...

    I didn't notice much difference with Forstners, but it sure improves chip ejection on twist / bradpoint bits. Saves a lot of time pulling the bit to clear chips when you've got a bunch of deep bores...

    That's because the Resaw King is a carbide tooth blade and given the large number of teeth on a BS blade they're pricey. As you might expect, they hold their edge a lot longer than steel and can...

    Yeah, the dang instructions are just plain incorrect. They need to be located about 1/2" lower on the base, or start with the lid at around 5 degrees less than noted if you want complete closure. In...
