How much does Cooks charge? I could not find any pricing info online.
The bolt is 1/2" and about 2" long
The HF screw is too big to fit in the track. The Kreg unit has a very narrow track which is why no other off the shelf clamp fits. I just confirmed that on my Kreg track.
I just found out that Kevan Lear from Akeda has found a partner for manufacturing the jigs and production will start again. Thejigstore is setting up a list of people that want the jig and will...
All the guide sets are available separately. Go to thejigstore.com click on "create an order" and you will see all the spare parts available for sale. I think they cost under $20 for a bag of them....
I have used both the W&H and Shopfox. The Shopfox did a very good job on the molding. At the time, there was a big price difference between the two machines, but the Shopfox price has risen...
You have to live in a state that borders North Carolina to be a member.....
I agree with Jonathan, if you want a dovetail jig that works great and is simple to set up, get the Akeda. If you want to play around with settings all the time get one of the other jigs. I have many...
I have used both and found that if you hit it hard enough the nails will set properly. Having said that it takes some time to learn just how to hit it properly. With only 300 square feet you may not...
I really like the Akeda jig. I have a Leigh jig as well but find myself reaching for the Akeda. You won't go wrong with the 16"Akeda.
I think I have a good idea now why they went out of business....
The inserts are made from a carbon fiber material. It is extremely strong, as witnessed by fighter planes being made from this type of material.
I have used them for years and have not had to...
I have all three dovetail machines. The Akeda 16 (have two of them), the Leigh D4R with the VRS system and a 24" Omnijig.
Of the these machines I always wind up using the Akeda, because it is...
Lots of folks use that Cleanstream filter. I have it on all three of my Fein vacs. The newest Turbo 1 and the others are the older Turbo 2's. Work very well and holds on so tight all I had to do was...
Where is it, I'll go check it out for you :D
I have made a couple of tables from driftwood when I lived in Florida. One of the tables actually had powder post beetles in it and needless to say ruined the table with their little holes. Could not...
That is not unusual as all products made outside the USA have to be tagged where they are made. As far as the Amish go, there is rather large community in SouthWestern Ontario, Canada.
So it is...
You were taught correctly. The Mennonites were the first group when Menno Simons joined the Anabaptist movement back in 1536. Jacob Amman broke with the Mennonites in 1693 and his followers were...
Get rid of it and get an Akeda. You will not be sorry. Easy to setup and use even for someone not familiar with dovetail jigs. You also won't be limited to half blinds, as it does through tails, box...
No problem, John, I get confused all the time. I have so much equipment, and none of it operates the same so I am always trying to remember how to make things work, without killing myself....
Andrew you need to remove the bolt holding the blade guard, and then remove what they call the shoulder bolt located near the center of the blade. Then you can pull the blade guard up and away from...
No doubt about it, an Akeda is the way to go. Very simple and you can do most joints without buying extra templates.
On the Chicago SCMS I have seen, which is a 12" with laser, you take the bolt that holds the blade off clockwise......Also as indicated by the other poster, you have to push down on the saw to allow...
I got a waterstone for my Tormek and it works great. There were two versions at the time I got mine, Woodcraft sold one and Tormek also sells one. I find they are easy to use to get a very fine sharp...
