The building codes in most areas have specifications for how close to the fireplace opening combustibles are allowed to be built. Look up your local codes!

I've seen many examples of this kind of tests over the years and found that they are rarely consistent. One says joint A is strongest, another joint B... From reading all these tests, I've come to...
To clarify: the Unisaw has no arbor lock. The only thing that keeps it from turning is the resistance of the motor and belts. As soon as the nut loosens a bit, the blade no longer provides enough...
I think the biggest aspect is overlay vs inset. The face frames inevitably bend or shift a bit when they are attached to the cabinet. For an overlay door, no problem. But for an inset, the result...
It's frustrating, but there are a lot of tools that are NAINA (not available in North America). Typically this is because they would have to be modified or redesigned to meet US and Canadian...
Woodshop News is largely an advertising rag targeted to professionals and businesses, with some informative content as well. It is free, relying on advertising and marketing for its revenue. The...

I'm another happy user of Peltor Optime 105. They are also sold under a couple of other brand names. One caution if you look at the gun shop: many "tactical" protectors are designed for impulse,...
Just an opinion, but unless there is no good-quality alternative, I find all of Woodpeckers products to be too expensive. They are high-quality, but produced in ways and scales that lead to high...
Unfortunately, circular saws are usually considered rough carpentry tools and are not always manufactured to the sort of precision you would want for cabinet work. Seems to me you have three...
I've used cheap microfiber from Harbor Freight. I cut it up into smaller pieces, which then requires some attention to get rid of crumbs along the cut edges, but it works great.
I have no statistics, only personal experience: I only talk on the phone while a passenger, but several times I have noticed when I end a call that I really don't remember clearly what happened on...
People with background in CAD sometimes have difficulty adjusting their thinking to SketchUp, which should really be considered a 3D modeling program, not CAD in the traditional sense. There are...
To reinforce Dave's post, there are lots of experienced woodworking SketchUp users here (and on other forums) who love to help. Just post clearer descriptions of what you tried and how you got...
To be fair, this problem is hardly limited to big box employees! A number of years ago I needed to repair a leaking toilet, so I went to the local, traditional hardware store. The "helpful" clerk...
The link in your post seems to be broken?
I mostly use TB III because I don't heat my shop very warm most of the year, and it has a lower chalk temperature than the others.
We have two (one at home and one at summer place) that we have used for about 10 years. There have been only two issues: the sparker box rusted out (easy to replace), and on occasion I have had to...
Curt raises an important point: most small compressors are rated for 50% or lower duty cycle. If your compressor can't deliver enough air you will burn it out. They don't say so explicitly, but...
I also have FIOS - though 75/75 service. I often see slower upload than download speed, but nothing remotely like what you describe! I'm a bit puzzled by part of what you wrote: you get 0.5-4Mbs...
You won't get an absolute answer because there is no hard-and-fast boundary between High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) and High Pressure Low Volume (HPLV).
As very rough rules of thumb, HVLP usually...
Check the setting on the overload protector (inside the switch box below the contactor). Nominal is 12A if I recall right. At the right end of the protector is a manual reset button. It is normally...
My real-world experience: I measured the current draw before and after I changed my ductwork from 4" to 6". Afterward, the motor amps increased.
The behavior of blowers runs contrary to many...
Oh come on! It's right there next to the .006! :eek:
I have a 48" Veritas aluminum and have found it to be adequate for my needs. I have yet to encounter a woodworking machine whose tables were ground flat or stayed flat to within the tolerances of...
