You can purchase fans that come with gravity operated louvers from an industrial supply like Grainger or McMastercar
I just went in acted like I wanted it, then acted surprised at the price and told them Rockler had it for 229. They won't let you go to Rockler if they can help it.
I, to this point, have done all my panels with the router and have not had any issue. The first router I had (I am embarrased to say) was the old craftsman 2hp made by Ryobi. In a rockler table. I...
I bought the Delta a few months ago from woodcraft. I paid 229.00 plus tax. I read several reviews and in that price range it looked like it would be a pretty good machine. (One of the reviews was a...
Hey guys, This is my first shot at furniture so any comments are welcomed. The bed is African Mohagany. The rails are knock down design. 1.75X1.75 with a 3/4 ply panel, M/T on the head/foot bd. I am...
My father-in-law works for Hallaburton. The smallest bit they make is 6". When the movie Armageddon was made they purchased three bits as props for something like 100K each. But a bit designed to...
I have a bed that I am staining and in testing the plywood and the solid, the ply seems to soak up the stain and drys much darker than the solid wood. It is african mohagany, and the grain seems very...
I have to admit that I do not use the XL much for BF calcs. Maple and mahogany are as exotic as I go, so I just double what I think I might use. That way I will have some extra. If I keep a little...
that my brother sent me a couple of years ago that has not only BF calcs but Shellac, miters, Drill sizes and a bunch of other stuff. The file name I have is 504. It is not for commercial use but...
I have the 6" from rockler and keep it in my apron all the time. However I can't think of a time I have used it to measure anything over 2" let alone 4". That being said the 6" has a little more...
I am building a bed for my son and am having some trouble choosing the detailing. The headboard and footboard are simple 1 3/4" square posts and rails with a 3/4" panel. I have left it all squared to...
Do you mean carbide or cobalt. I have heard that cobalt was harder. Also what speeds do you use?
Would a machine type SEM work in a router for wood cutting? Pricing from a couple of places seem much cheeper than rockler/wwodcraft. Is there something special about a carbide or cobalt cutter to...
Thanks Frank, The look I came up with is pretty well squared off everywhere. What do you use to round down the tenons?
I worked with metal before wood and am surprized at how many wood workers only have pancake compressors. Any cheap DA will sand like a belt sander in rotation only mode and still do some fine sanding...
Rockler. They plunge better, but are harder to sharpen. More sizes in straight bits to.
Do you have to square up by hand for through tennons with the horizontal slot mortiser.
I just got the delta mortiser and am very pleased. I am building a toddler bed for my son and went back and forth on buying some good spirals and building a jig or just getting a bench top mortiser....

19-Drills (2 of them cordless)and if you count the drillpress...
What I mean is the wheel itself is round the bearings are fine but the wheel does not rotate true, in the same plane. I think over years of leaving the blade tensioned it has caused whatever point...
I just inherited a Craftsman 12" BS and promptly took it apart to check it out. There were only a couple of issues but one could be pretty bad. The upper wheel has some latteral movement +- an 1/8"....
