I've never used these myself, but Lee Valley does carry sanding strips that mount in scroll saws.

My SawStop PCS fence face was so wavy that it was telegraphing quite badly into the cut quality. I bought it used, so I have no way of knowing if that was its original condition or if the previous...

I have the Bosch 12" glide mounted in my mitre saw station. I quite like it. Just for perspective, I'm a home owner/hobbyist and I have used it for framing, trim work, furniture and a couple of...

I'm not sure about the dust deputy end, but for my GCM12SD I have a Ridgid vac hose that seems to be a reasonable friction fit for the saw's dust port. I think the model number for the hose is...

You didn't mention the tension mechanism. I have owned a 14SUV for about 4 years and got a chance to see the 14BX up close at a recent local woodworking show. The differences between the 14SUV and...

I have the smallest A3, the A3-26, and I use it in a 1 car garage. I got it because it's the same footprint as a 6" jointer. If your main concern is maximizing capability in a small space, the A3s...

Here's a picture of my 3HP PCS with a cast iron router wing. I had to cut notches in the fence rails for router wing's mitre gauge, and I had to drill out the holes in the router wing's edges a...

Even if you insulate it, without a heat source, it's going to be cold because it's detached. Insulation just slows the movement of heat, it doesn't create it. If you do add a heat source, it will...

My experience was exactly the same - my canister filter loaded up WAY faster than I expected after I installed it. I don't have a pressure gauge on my collector so I didn't have a good sense of...

Randy, this is what happens if you let the pressure build up too much:

342688

In my case, it built up so much that the air pressure inside the collector actually caused the canister to "pop"...

John I wrote a review of my 14SUV a few years ago when I got it. http://www.makingsplinters.com/2013/08/laguna-lt14-suv-review/ Since then, I have used it a bunch more. I have a couple of interior...

I have one of these saws and like you, I don't want to pay for the extra block. The manual says you can use the ceramic guides with blades from 1/4" to 1 1/4" (page 29). I do have a 1/4" blade, but...

Thanks Curt - Actually, what you're seeing there is the mounting rail for the Hammer's fence. So you did come up with the 80/20 - great idea. :D

Here is a picture of my shop-made version with my Hammer A3-26. If I used often, I would probably spend the few hundred to get the aluminum ones Rod suggested, but these only come out once a year or...

John I'd really love to hear how this turns out for you because I'm doing a painted project right now and it's far easier and far cheaper for me to get BM Advance than General White Poly. The other...

Strictly to the question of where this warning appears, there is a paper insert included with the 8" brake cartridge with this warning.

I have a 14" SUV. I like it very much and if I had to re-build my shop, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. It required minimal setup and tuning - so little I hardly even remember doing it and it was...

Another vote for skipping the biscuit joiner. I have one and I don't use it anywhere near as much as I thought I would. Same thing for my oscillating spindle sander - a cheap sanding drum kit for...

1/16" doesn't sound like too heavy a pass to me. I've had 2 reasons for putting too much effort into cutting on the jointer (other than waxing the table, which others mentioned):

1) Too much...

Mine does the same thing. Is it causing some sort of damage? With the way those legs are made, I've never been concerned about it (although I don't move my saw very often).

I have an A3-26 with straight knives, and they definitely do the job. In a couple of years of light-to-moderate hobby use, I have had to flip my blades once, and the second edges performance is...

I got a single-speed colt this summer for trimming edge banding and I am really liking it for light work like that. I've got 5 routers now with the colt and I reach for it more than I expected to.

I have been running my LT14SUV on a 20A circuit for almost 2 years without ever tripping my breaker. No problems at all. In fact, it comes pre-wired with a moulded NEMA 6-20 (240V/20A) plug here in...

Lots of good suggestions on this thread already about how to do this, but many of them are talking about top dollar gear. Before I got a good band saw, I clamped boards to saw horses and used either...

I had a cabinet with an overlay door, weather stripping and a latch on it for a while just to keep the dust out, and it worked well for a while. Then the door warped and the seal was no good. My...
