Yikes!!! Left my jointer running tonight as I was moving stock between it and my table saw. When I'm wearing hearing protection and when my dust collector is running, I can't hear my jointer. Even...
Received the standard version Band Saw Guides yesterday and installed them today. Wasn't that hard though I had to do some head scratching to figure out how to remove my saw's table. It's supposed...
Just order the standard version. Concerned that I would not be able to adequately hand tighten the "micro adjust" version.
Was about to order a Carter Tools Band saw guide for my 14" Delta band saw with a riser block installed. Went to the Carter website and discovered two things:
1) They have versions for the Delta...
I've had good luck with this system. I cover the wooden cauls with shipping tape so the glue doesn't stick. I also do glue ups on a flat surface (usually my garage floor). By starting with flat...
I've convinced myself (and most importantly SWMBO) that I need a 1 hp oscillating spindle sander. That decided, I'm having trouble figuring out which one is best for me.
The Grizzly ($725)...
Several months ago, I had trouble getting the remote to work properly with my new Oneida dust collector. After leaving several messages and getting no return calls, I sent them an email and got an...
I see that the dust deputy is made of "anti-static" plastic. Is that the same with the Clearvue mini? Does it matter?
While thinking about the problem last night, it occured to me that the area between the Corian and the plywood is contaminated with the old glue that might interfere with good bonding when the...
I am very impressed by the cut quality of my Festool circular saw.

I use a guided circular saw for these cuts. In my opinion it's much easier to clamp a guide to a long board and cut it with a circular saw that to wrestle with a long board in a table saw (even in a...
We had a small disaster at our house where a warm cooking element was left on the corner of our kitchen counter for several hours. The Corian was not burned or melted but the glue in that corner...
A few years ago, I found that the replacement hoses made by Shop-Vac have easily removeable (and reinstallable) fittings. I was able to shorten the hose to exactly the length I wanted, reinstall a...
I have the 3hp SawStop and never had trouble cutting anything that I wanted to cut in my hobby shop. I chose 3hp instead of 5 because I didn't want to rewire my garage. If that isn't an issue for...
I have a Biesemeyer Fence that fits just fine on my SawStop Rails. Just need to set the "zero". I use both fences (made a permanent modification to the SawStop Fence).
I have a small Oneida 1.5 hp system with the muffler. I ran it for a short time without a muffler and can say that a muffler makes a big difference. I was so impressed that I added a second muffler...
Here's a source for plated steel flat head screws including #3.

I am not an expert on dust collection. However, I understand that it is important to match the size of the dust collection pipe to size of your dust collector. For example, I bought a 1.5 hp...
I have the Excalibur guard and like it very much. I leave the guard on the saw all the time. I can push it to the side for tall work when necessary. Perhaps the other guards have this feature too...
When I put my riser block on about 10 years ago, a neighbor friend lent me two gigantic open end wrenches so that I could remove an amazingly large bolt. I installed the riser with these wrenches...
I tried to use a planer (a little smaller than that) to flatten panels several years ago. Perhaps it was me, but I failed miserably. Now I use a 4x24 belt sander with an 80 grit belt.
I have a Porter Cable 4x24" belt sander for sanding panels. For this purpose, it is excellent. The sander is a heavy monster but the weight is of no consequence to me when sanding horizontal...
Unfortunately, table saw scales and tape measures suffer from production innacuracies due to the way they are "printed". I read a detailed discussion of this problem a while ago and will post it if...
I bought an old Itronix portable computer that was designed for "field" use on ebay two years ago for about $100. I suspect they're even cheaper now. It is shock resistant (not too important for me)...
Today when I was using my router mounted on the right side of my table saw, I pressed a little hard against the SawStop Beisemeyer clone fence and it slipped. I have not had problems with the fence...
