    I've got a Milwaukee M12 FUEL brushless circular saw and it is one of my favorite tools. No it doesn't have the power of a corded saw and it won't last the whole day on a single charge, but who...

    Are you using the little foot that attaches to the side of the router to make up for the height of the guide rail? With that I've always found it to be very stable. The edge guide works very well...

    The local Home Depot or Lowes doesn't have any kiln-dried lumber? Around here the 2x4s are generally terrible, however they have some nice douglas fir 4x4s that would work just fine for a workbench....

    The Carvexs (along with the Kapex) are generally considered to be one of the low points of the Festool line. They're good but not really worth the money. At the other end of the spectrum are the...

    Everytime I start a new project and I want to figure out what color to stain it I always end up trying some of what I have, and then going out and buying a few random cans of stuff until I find...

    I think a bit more business case analysis would make sense before selecting a machine for production work. You've got to weigh the operator cost, vs material cost, consumables(aka blades) and even...

    I also dislike sketchup. I beleve that as its name implies it was designed for doing sketchs, not dimensioned drawings. If you're just using it to get a feel for how something might look, then it...

    My air compressor is from 1932, still going strong!

    That being said I am planning on replacing it soon, for this very reason and I've got it tucked behind 2000lbs of bridgeport just in case.

    Seems pretty gimmicky to me. I wonder if they changed the design of the drill press bearings to be able to handle the sideloads of sanding.

    The recon sales are a semi-regular thing. They have one every couple of years, but I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for one. It could be another two years before the next one. In addition the...

    I've always used Target finishes in the past, but was reading around a bit and found that some folks like General Finishes alot better. I started looking into them and am confused by the two...

    I looked at the increased table height as a benefit. The base I made raised my table by 6" or so and has made the bandsaw much more comfortable for me to use.

    I like doing things that are pretty and practical. Last couple of years I've done trivets and cutting boards. Easy to do and you can make them as fancy or as plain as your time, skill and budget...

    If you're going to do that, you should reward the first person who came up with the idea, not someone making a very similar product.

    Festool makes the angle unit, which is similar. QWAS makes one...

    I think you'd be fine using a spray bottle with a diamond bit in a regular router.

    You could get a good bit from someplace like here.

    Coruse you could probably have a pro do it for cheaper, but...

    I'm dissapointed, I was expecting pictures of a burnt out shop after hot sparks from the grinder hit some sawdust. Just think, it could have been much worse.

    I love my keyless chuck, I use an old Bridgeport milling machine for my drill press so it has a standard R8 taper. Bought a chuck from Glacern for it and have been quite happy. It will hold a 1/64"...

    +1 FWW tested the Makita at 99dB and the DW733 at 98dB. I'd assume the DW734 are about the same. All of that is way above where you'd want hearing protection.

    For most of the Festool lineup, yes they're twice the tools.

    The Kapex, I just don't see it though. If it were a 12" saw maybe, but its got to many compromises to be worth the premium for me.

    I've made a couple of humidors too. Always made them with a 'normal' wood and then lined them with 1/4" Spanish cedar.

    I don't think it would be an issue. Probably wouldn't do good things for the life of the shop vac, but they are pretty much disposable.
