I have a similar problem with a 3/4" timberwolf.
If I set up the guide so the bearing just touch the back of the blade and then rotate the blade by turning a wheel manually, I can see a gap forming...

Hi Ben,

I just finished installing some kitchen cabinets and I tried to use the RO 125 for scribing them. What I have found is that the RO is easy to control which make it fool proof to scribe...

Hi James, when I was refering to multiple passes on the table saw I was more thinking about having to flip the piece to do the stub tenon.
Also it might requires multiple pass to groove the piece to...

I don't think the table saw is faster (at least in my experience), all the cuts can be done in one pass on the router table and you need to change the bit only once if you are organized.
For the...

I have just used the Amana set today to make some 3/4" drawer faces with 1/4" ply. The set comes with a nice color booklet that describe step by step instruction. The set comes with a big set of...

I have the 3HP model and basically it works great except that it is a real pain to remove the collection bag because the metal frame is in the way.

Usually the snipe at the back of the board is due to having the knives above the outfeed table. When you put your straight edge on the outfeed and bring the knives to their peak do you see any small...

I have been using the JDS cyclone 3000 for over a year. I went for this model because I wnated soemthing powerfull but I didn't have the ceiling clearance to buy other models.

I have a 6 machines...

I have used both the tenryu gold medal and the WWII. They both have excellent and comparable quality. The tenryu has a smaller kerf 0.111 (if my memory is good) so you need to make sure your splitter...

Hi everybody,

I have a PM2000 and have been fighting with dust for some time. I have a battle both over and under the table.

Over the table, I have a bysemeyer overarm guard which has proven...

Greg,

When I use the RS2 I do not need to lower the CT22 speed. I grab the sander with two hands and barely put any pressure. Unless I am sanding a finish (which I barely never do with the RS2) I...

Any particular reason you favor the OF2000 over the OF1400?

I have the Ridgid jointer and its working fine for me. It is very easy to get repeatable thickness and the knifes are durable. On the downside it is a noisy machine.

Yes that is the idea. It is supposed to "age" the cherry over night.

I am going to experiment staining cherry with lye tomorrow.
Do you guys have any advices on quantity and duration. Is neutralizing with vinegar necessary?
One other question I am having is can I...

Sarge,

I agree with you on the fact that to break down sheet good you can build up a jig and provide similar functionnality at a fraction of the cost.

I am not familiar with the EZ system so...

All my shop has a dedicated sub panel that feed everything including lighting, dehumidifier and AC. If you guys buy me a nice digital panel meter I promess I will provide a monthly accurate reporting...

It's hard to quantify because I need to factor the weather but I can see a $30-$50 difference between the months I am spending a lot of time in the shop (>10 hours a week) and the months I am not.
I...

If you can't use your table saw I would start with the circular saw and finish with a router mounted with a flush trim bit (if needed).

I did manage to move my PM 2000 from the truck liftgate all the way to my basement with only one help and an applicance dolly. This includes going down a set of 8 steep steps.

If you just have...

Funny, I cut down the bottom of the guard just above the upper bearing to have better visibility, I didn't even realize that was also allowing me to change the blade without removing the guard.

Highland hardwoods in brentwood NH
1/2" 5x5 B/BB for $39.95 3/4" for $58.95
If I am not mistaking they have 5% off if you buy 5 sheets and 10% if you by 10 sheets.
I would call ahead of time...

1/ 2/ 3/ I would recommend to use a shop vac. There is an adpater available to hook it up to a standard one but if you can afford the CT 22 or 33 it is definitively a very good unit.
