I wouldn't want to make my first use of polyurethane glue on a complicated glue-up. Polyurethane glue has it's use in the workshop, but I've found for wood to wood contact there are much better...

Don't look at the amount, look at the kilowatt hour (kWh) used.
Also look at how they are charging, is it residential or commercial rate? My place used to be a commercial dairy farm.... my first...
Did you ask for a breakdown? $2700 doesn't seem to bad to me... I'd figure...

Does Hitachi still make their dedicated resaw? If so that's what I would recommend for resawing. The first thing to do whene you get it is replace the motor with a "real" motor! I have one, it takes...
LOL!
Yeah, that's been my experience too.
Foam rubber weather stripping will fill that joint, but like others have said, having a gap there isn't all that bad... also I would put a 1/4" bevel on the leading edge of the outfeed table- this...
I've had some experience with gluing metals and can tell you that...
1) JB Weld on aluminum will not stand up to any sheer load. I tried making a thicker sheet out of some thinner material and...
The T2 fence is very nice, it's like a Biesemeyer Jr. but with a smaller front tube and a rail at the rear that the fence rides on. If it were me, I wouldn't give up on the T2 fence just yet...

Delta uses thru-bolts to attach the legs to the side of the extension table....

Very nice.
Around here we always called them Buckminsterfullerenes or 'bucky-balls' for short. :)
I used a Unisaw for 30+ years with a splitter and anti-kickback pawls I don't know how anyone can say that a riving knife is safer.... unless I don't understand what exactly you guys are calling a...
I second this recommendation. $300 isn't that much more than you were wanting to spend and when you consider that this is the most used tool in the shop it's money well spent.
The Sawstop is far...
I don't think all is lost, just yet, but it won't be the pristine round with continuous growth rings you may have envision it to be.
Here's what i would tell a non-woodworker to do....
1) go to...
If you don't plan on tilting the table, I would skip the new trunions and just fabricate a mount from solid 1" square steel stock, drill & tap into the bandsaw and table where needed, shouldn't be...
I never like calling Tightbond-III "water-proof" - I don't care that it meets some manufacturing "standard." It's still water-soluble and cured/dried can still be completely dissolved in water -...
All the current bench top models are made for small-time hobby use and seem pretty light-duty for any serious woodworking. Delta/Rockwell (et. al.) used to make models that basically were...
The one with cast iron wings.
Sounds like that left rear bolt/hole/washer has something (casting flash or surface defect) that keeps pulling it back into the same place.
If you're intent on getting closer than 0.003" then try...
When doing rabbets I usually bury the dado into a sacrificial fence so the board is free and can't be trapped by the fence. I also use a feather board to keep the board pressed down against the...
That Delta is about the ugliest table saw I've ever seen! :0, and the Craftsmans is no beauty either! But, I have to wonder..... when you consider that every piece of wood you use eventually gets...

Not as difficult or time consuming as you may think -- it's all repetitive cuts, rafters, walls, etc. both sides are the same as are the ends with the exception...
I think you may find that when you put the head on the column that with that much weight (230 lbs?) cantilevered off one side the base will flatten out and no longer wobble.
Just a note; I didn't see a brand name listed on your dial indicator.... I just went though this helping a friend who was having trouble with alignment....I have a Pratt & Whitney that reads full...
I don't follow these things too closely, but unless things have changed drastically in the past year or so, there are only two hybrid saws that stand our from the others, one is a Craftsman the other...
For furniture building 1/16" deviation over 48" length. For home building 1" over 25'.
I know a lot of guys here like to get out the micrometer and boast something like 0.003", but I've yet had...
