I have a tormek but it never dawned on me to sharpen my carving tools on it, I just do those by hand. Too much setup (in my mind).

"Flood" the first day and come back and refill the second day after it shrinks. Should hold up fine.

Oh, not knocking it, just perspicacity wouldn't go out of my way to buy something else when I have a perfectly good tube of caulk (or 5) just sitting in a bin that'll work just fine.

I have (for years) 2 dewalt and 2 rigid at different stations. I don't care for sanding so I don't sand any more aggressive than with a ros (by hand). Of the 4, one of the 2 (identical) rigid was my...

You could just flood it with caulk. Twice. It's going to sink in because it's a large area so hit it a second time the next day or day after...

That said, I installed a ring not too long ago and...

I lend tools (like power washer, etc) to family and they are responsible for bringing it back in the same condition it left but i don't lend it shop tools/equipment. The only tools I don't have and...

Cut as deep as you can. Flip it over and rough cut close to the cut line. Then use a router with a bottom bearing bit to clean up the excess.

Andrew, are you referring to the blue handled Marples? I still have my set of 4 (they were my first "real" chisels). The ones with the little white ring around the ferrule were made with very good...

I already mentioned I have and use one but I failed to mention that I use a 400 grit cbn wheel on mine. If I had to deal with filling and draining it, I would have sold it and made do.

Mike, the cabinet its sitting on is 26" high and the combo sits as high as the bandsaw right next to it (about 73 inches). Get a decent chuck and you're ready to fly.

Mike, I'm more than happy to answer any questions you have so ask away. It's a great machine overall and I'll see if I can upload a Pic when I get on my laptop so you can get an idea of footprint.

Just kind of boils down to method of work. I use mine for all sorts of things from knives to scissors, etc. You really can sharpen just about anything with it and I like using it for a hollow grind...

Did you accidentally flip the long pieces around the wrong way?

Edit: The mortise looks pretty close to center so if you inadvertently flipped the insides to become the outside, there will be an...

Fantastic summation, Dave. And I quoted because it's worth a second read.

I have both forrest and ridge Carbide blades (I'm partial to the latter). Sometimes, you have a need that your favorite manufacturer can't fill so must look elsewhere. You're not making a bad call...

The (mechanical) depth control is the only thing I really don't like about mine. It has the turret type stop, I prefer the bar with handwheel. Also, note: is much larger than other bench top models.

Apologies, I reread my last post to you and it just sounded outright rude, which is not what I was trying to achieve.

You forgot the cost of a hammer and a Phillis head screwdriver. That's all that's needed, right? How about auto mechanics? All they need is an adjustable wrench? Why their high pricing? There's zero...

Hey Caleb, I'm familiar with the product but never actually used or handled it. Take care to dry your application rags properly to avoid any potential combustion...

Not all folks appreciate the...

The dw735 is a great machine and I still have mine in the back room (just in case I guess). Imho, machines are for dimensioning and prepping material only (talking real wood here). But they do excel...

I take my time. A lot of times I'll full assemble, only gluing 1 element at a time. I'll let sit for 4 hours, then glue another element in, rinse/repeat. Why rush? It's taken a considerable amount of...

Yeah, play with those wages...a lot. Never mind cost of material. No, we're not talking sandwiches here but you do have to pay for those sandwiches with wages earned. And I don't live in a third...

I ordered two cheesesteaks for my wife and I last week. I picked it them up and it came close to 50 bucks for two sandwiches and they still wanted a tip... Times, they are a changing.

Yes, sir, they do. Depends on your specific market and which segment of that market that you target.

Their pricing model is based on a warehouse full of people pumping out massive amounts of cabinets a day with materials that you and I buy at triple the price (due to quantity and source of...
