Amen Mr. Sincerbaux.
We (the U.S.) have become Exaggeration Nation.
Or Indig-Nation.

100% agree.
Additionally, Forrest blades don't keep their edge as long as Ridge or Freud.
More money, less service life..

Exactly.
Wonder how many thousands of kitchens have been built in shops running only Unisaws or their clones??
Nothing too demanding about ripping 4/4 hardwoods and .75 sheet goods, daily, year...

Don't worry about trying Forrest Blades-they're ok, nothing special, no better than Ridge or Freud, and don't hold their edge as long either.
What Forrest has done is market spectacularly, and...

You may have to be creative-
spring braces off the ceiling are simple and cheap
clamp F style clamps to the box sides, with the bar just above the FF. Then shim hard between the clamp bar and the...

Corey,
I have the disappearing splitter, and couldn't be happier.
Installs and aligns in a minute.
Does exactly as the name implies when you're dadoing.
Readily available.

I own a unisaw and a pm66, both came w/ Bies fences........

Bill, I am sorry for my comment above, re fence for the left.
Appears rude and I did not mean to be, sorry

+1 on the motor cover from plywood. Makes a good place to hang your blade wrenches and a push stick too.

Thank you Charles for a great description, with the repeatability you describe, a DRO is on the list.
Greatly appreciated,
Seb

Uh, yea, that's kinda obvious......

This, exactly.

You'll end up spending more time and probably as much money "fixing" this. You'll be making a mess in your finished space. You'll end up with a compromise, that will bother you...

I buy from them a lot. Good selection, prices, and quick shipping.
Also answer their phones, and know their products.

[QUOTE=Charles Lent;2661081]Yes !!! I also prefer right tilt and I have used and owned both versions over the past 60 years. I'm also left handed, but I still prefer using a right tilt saw. But...

If you crosscut bevels a lot with your TS, a right tilt lets you stand on the natural left side, and not have to move your miter gauge.
I used L-tilt saws exclusively for about 25 years, when an...

Purchased this blade to use on the smaller Festool track saw, and used it this past week...

I own 3 festool sanders, and they are a pleasure to use.
That being said, if you're "gouging" your material, that sounds like operator error, not the sander.
I've used DeWalt, PC, Bosch, and...

I use the low fence whenever I'm ripping close to the blade-way more room for push stick etc.
I also use the low fence when I'm ripping re-facing material, or when I'm beveling with the fence on the...

Well, some people call them "chop" saws, and use them as if they are chopping wood, but they aren't chop saws.
There are two separate points to consider to avoid this:
1-Make sure your stock is...

Pneumatic nails don't hold any better than a correctly sized and galvanized hand driven nail.
I insist on hand drives in some cases. They always leave a round hole to fill, which looks much better...

A 2" nail isn't long enough to secure 1" thick trim through drywall and into studs or blocking.
Use a 2.5" 15ga nail.
18ga nails are fine for some things (like nailing a casing edge into a jamb,...

Todd, use a circular saw with a rip guide, way quicker, more accurate, and safer than trying to wrestle a heavy board that probably isn't flat thru a table saw.
I routinely freehand to scribe lines...

Thanks to all those who shared their photos. To those who diverted over to "safety comments": start your own thread!!

To Van: so you routinely lead climbs like the Bachar-Yerian, but a full number...

What we do in your situation is secure blocking to the drywall with the anchors shown below:
