    I have one on the right side of my Powermatic PM1000. I Love it and would do it again in a heartbeat. I have an Incra lift and could not imagine anything working better.

    I have heard people mention "Starving" the joint of glue with too much pressure before. I have always used K-Clamps with 1500 pounds of pressure and as many as I can fit. I have never had problems...

    I think you should absolutely test with just 4" first. Especially if you are not running any ducting. I have the same planer and run 4" all the way to it with the last 10 feet being flex and it works...

    I don't mean to insult you, but it sounds like you don't want to read your owners manual. There clearly has to be a way to adjust ANY riving knife. I went to the Sawstop website and read the manual,...

    Also make sure that the riving knife is aligned with the blade perfectly. If it is not, it can definitely cause the binding you are experiencing. Basically you need to insure the riving knife you are...

    I would definitely either go for the Laguna, especially if they take less. This one would be EASY to resell later. Very little risk.

    Or use the Grizzly blower and a Super Dust Deputy. It works...

    Yeah the Jet as delivered certainly was not as powerful as I hoped. I ended up just using the blower and none of the rest. I mounted the blower intake directly to the top of my SDD using a 6" PVC...

    This is the type of setup that I would avoid, where you drop to 4" part way down. The airflow will be restricted (limited) by the 4" and will dramatically reduce velocity as it moves up and hits the...

    Hi Carl,

    I had considered investing in a small, cheap anemometer and doing some actual measurements. The problem is that the cheap ones are very limited in the speed they can measure. I probably...

    I agree whole-heatedly! My 1.75 H.P. will NEVER stop me from building or cutting anything. If I can't cut it with 1.75 h.p. then I probably shouldn't be cutting it at all.
