One of the best bandsaw's for the Buck is the Shop Fox 14". It has cast iron wheel's and is 2 speed. You can also get a riser kit for it so you can cut up to 12" material. I believe the HP is 1 1/2.

Total GARBAGE!!

DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, splattering it...

John, we are sorry to hear of your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family. I went through a similar loss just a month and a half ago.

I too, was asked to build a box for my mother-in-law....

Now that summer is officially behind us, many of us will be heading back to the shop. Many of us have projects in mind to build, others don't know what they are going to do. So I thought that those...

There are several styles of adjustable feet that you could buy and install on the work bench. I (being to cheap) made my own using some heavy angle iron that I tapped out for a bolt and use jam nuts...

On July 26th, I lost one of my best friends. Someone who was always here to just listen, never passed judgement on anyone. Always ready to help in anyway, yet never interferred.

I was asked to...

I would reccomend using the standard hardwood floor nailer. They are available for rent at most rental stores for 15 - 20 dollars a day. No glue is needed.

First let me say, Welcome to the Creek. Great source of knowledge for you to tap at any time.

Very seldom will you need to dado deeper than 3/4 of an inch, so the 6" dado should serve you well....

I have the Performax 22/44 also. One of the biggest causes of the burn or build up is lack of adequet dust collection. Some of the different woods such as Cherry will "burn" quicker than say Oak...

A good 7 1/4" Marathon blade costs on average only $8.05 out in this area. I would just buy another one instead of sharpening the old one.

What works best for me is I layout the location of the hinges on the carcass prior to putting the top on the box. I then drill the holes for the hinges. Then after that is done, I install the top.

I guess I wasn't very clear about what I was asking. I do use the "eraser". That takes care of the majoriaty of it. I work with a lot of recylcled wood and I will get "streaks" for lack of better...

I am wondering what suggestions there may be for cleaning the residue build up off the sandpaper from the drum sander. I have been using Mineral Spirits/Paint thinner. I spray in on, let it soak in...

I have the 22/44 and use 150 and 220 grit. If I am recycling wood that has a finish on it, I will use 80 grit.

You can also store them om a disk or floppy, then pull them off there to do your posting. I always back up my pictures on disk, so I started downloading off them as well.

You can use regular panel adhesive. Dap 2000 would be one brand that comes to mind. ( I am not affiliated with Dap in anyway)

I would suggest that you apply it with the calking gun, then use a...

My reccomendation would be to wrap the compressor body with heat tape. In the long run it would be far less hassle.

You may also want to check the wire size and at the same time, check what amp...

Thanks for the kind words. I should have mentioned that I installed a screened opening in the back about the same size as the front where the tower sits. The screen is to prevent the cat from finding...

This was built on the order of one that was featured in a WW magazine. I redesigned it to fit our needs. Full extention pull outs on all drawers and shelves. Over the top of the keyboard pull out is...

I still use the old fashion remote. The batteries never run down and even when there is no power the shop door will still go up when needed. Just a hug and a Thank You is all it takes to make it...

Very nice for sure. I do prefer the old way. That of course being, if the wife needs me for something, she can come down to the shop and get me. :) It keeps her looking good. Still has the same...

For myself, I do them both ways. If I am only doing just a few dado's I will go to the router or the router table. When I have several with different spacing, I will use the tablesaw.

Some people...

Two issues come to mind. The first is pellet stoves have a fan going all the time so dust being stirred up whne trying to finish something could be a problem.

Second issue would be where are you...

For size I think you are on the right track. I do think, even though it is a 220v unit, a bit more HP would be helpfull. In anything above 6" thickness you will find the saw bogging down quite a bit....
