Thanks for all the help! I ended up getting the triton. The local menards had them on close-out for $209. I think that is a decent deal. It will be a few weeks before I get to test out this beast!

Also thanks for the comments about the stair tread radius! It appears that the radius is 5/8". Looks like I'll need a 1 1/4" diameter bullnose bit. I'll double check my measurement before I order...

Thanks for all the replies!

I'm looking at the hitachi m12v2 due to the cost and power. Is it really worth the difference to upgrade to the PC or milwaulkee when I only use it a few times per...

I have an upcoming staircase project that involves a 1" bullnose router bit. My old craftsman 1/4" collet router doesn't seem to cut it here. I have a very nice router table to mount a big router...

I would need a really large compressor to run an air tool long enough to reel in 1/2 a mile of wire. I'm not using this setup to stretch the wire. It will be used to reel in the wire when the fence...

I hadn't thought of using a heavy duty drill. That might work and would be simple also. Would a standard ac inverter (I'm picturing one that plugs into a cigarette lighter) have enough power to run...

No, winches seem to have ratios in the hundreds to one ratio area. I looked into using the 12v connection on the back of a pickup and figured even at 30amps at 12v I wouldn't have enough power to...

Anyone know of a good way to reduce the rpms on a motor (exploring both gas and electric options) down to about 200 rpm with some degree of speed control say between 150-250rpm?

The end...

I was hoping there was a company making blades out of better quality steel that I could have sharpened easily. Does anyone know how well the infinity carbide blades last compared to the stock dewalt...

Thanks for the advice. I'll live with the table as it is now. I haven't used feeler gauges to measure it yet but I don't think it is off by more than 0.010". That and I'd rather not have to ship...

Does anyone make blades for this planer that are able to be sharpened? I've seen one brand of carbide tipped blades that say they can be "lightly sharpened once". I've read mixed reviews on both...

How flat would you expect the top on a new table saw to be? I purchased a new jobsite saw and when I put a straight edge across either of the miter slots I can rock it slightly side to side. Not...

How do you make sliding dovetail joints? I can see using a router with a dovetail bit on the sides but what's the best way to handle the ends of the shelves?

The 24" boards were not from the middle of the tree. The couple of the trees were real close to 36" across so a 24" board would get close, but not right through the center. Not sure how big you...

I lucked into several walnut trees that we had milled into lumber a couple years ago. So, now I have about 1700 bdft up to 24" wide. Most of it is about 15/16" thick but there is also a number of...

Also, what do you recommend for a finish on walnut?

I'm looking at building a small bookcase. Somewhere in the range of 3 ft wide with a total of 3 shelves; bottom, middle, and upper shelves and then I suppose the top could be considered a forth...

On the same note. Should I use separate blades for ripping and crosscutting? I've always used the same blade on my table saw for both, a 40 tooth freud. Also, I'm looking for a new blade for my...

Sounds like the bosch is the winner! Any suggestions on what blade I should get for it? I will cut a limited amount of plywood, but mostly will be cutting 4/4 black walnut (had several trees milled...

yes, this saw will be stored folded up at the edge of the garage. I don't have the room for anything like a true contractor or cabinet saw. The bosch 4100-09 is still looking good. How is...

I'm working in a double car garage with very little extra space on the sides or up front. At the end of any work day everything is folded up and rolled to the edge of the garage so two vehicles can...

after using a cheap craftsman bottom of the line saw for the last 10 yrs or so; I finally managed to wear out the motor. So I'm in the market for a new saw. While I'd love to have a large cabinet...

Not really sure what they're called, but I want to install a system that will shut off the main water supply to the house if a leak is detected. So, a motorized valve on the main line and sensors at...

I've been looking for plans or ideas for a clock. No particular style in mind yet. It will be a gift for my aunt and uncle. I had a couple trees of theirs cut into lumber and now I'd like to give...

Thanks for the explanation Tom. I'm looking for a 1/4" overlay then. Is there any advantage to the Blum series 33 compact hinge? Looking at the description, it looks similar to the compact 28; ...
