Tony,

I've had both, both bought used and I say go for the Grizzly. The only disadvantage is its need for 240 volt service. It's heavier, more powerful, prettier and last I heard, made in Taiwan...

Well, he didn't like to talk about it much.

Mike,

Just in case you didn't hear Rod:

YOU SUCK !!!!

I recently used a Freud HD rip to cut 6/4 and 8/4 walnut. It left some marks that were easily removed with a card scraper or ROS.

Jeremy,

My jury's still out and I make the darn things. I have sent out about 40 Push/Pull splitters with 1/6" (.06xx) aluminum blades. I make slits on the trailing edge to bend the blade a bit...

I now have two of these. If I can sell one, I'll come learn how to use the other. :D

Seriously, I applaud your willingness to...

I cannot speak from experience. I went to Harbor Freight to buy a couple and they were out of stock. I was going to list one on ebay for $8.50 BIN and $5 shipping to counter the crook's listing.

It could be worse EBAY 230299349527

That plane sells for $7.99 at Harbor Freight

Sam,

Because of where you are, I'm going to guess that's hemlock. I have to guess because I'm sorta color blind. I would call any free wood a gloat if you don't have to tear up your equipment to...

Matt,

113. indicates Emerson Electric. I've had a couple 113.298xxx's and they were the belt drive, cast iron wings, crappy fence, contractor's saws. Decent saws with some moderate upgrades. I'm...

Jamie,

Great topic. I have not used nor thought to use cauls since I started using clamps on both sides of the panels. This I learned from a pro on one of the forums. I also use a lot of clamps...

Nathan,

You don't tell us where you are. I, for one, would welcome a newbie to come for a cup of coffee and try my tools. Bring your (mandatory) safety glasses and heaing protection.

Hi Michael,

If your panels are plywood or MDF, use the panel as a "jig". Glue everthing around the panel and put one clamp in each direction. If the groove depth and panel size match, your...

Anthony,

I had a used 6" Yorkie for a short time when a used 8" Yorkie became available. The instructions were generic and matched the similar Delta models. I think $225 sounds good if it's in...

I use something like this for my shop lights. You can also get them with remote light sockets if you have ceiling fixtures in...

You hung in there longer than a lot of us....40 is more common. When I started needing them, I thought I had a brain tumor. I learned watching "Northern Exposure" on TV that it is normal aging.

I...

Alex,

I've had 4 of the 113's, the last was a 113.298xxx. If by reasonable, you mean less than $175 without any upgrades, it is full size with cast iron wings and it is in good shape, it's worth...

I've been using HSS and cobalt 2-flute end mills from Enco (use-enco.com). They are frequently on sale and the prices allow experimentation. I am not advocating their use over "woodworking" bits, but...

Now I don't care who you are, that there is funny :D:D

Adam,

When it's cold ya can't beat heat. You have an unvented heater which will discharge combustion gases and some humidity into your shop air. If you use dust collection, even if it's a shop...

I don't know...maybe it's a 604 protype??:D

Thicker costs too much, thinner would tear :D

Don't take this for gospel; I believe galv used to be forbidden because of the risk of flakes coming off and clogging orifices orfices er....holes. Modern manufacturing techniques, even in China,...

Nah...too much sap wood :D:D

I got lucky with mine. I bought a used Griz and the guy threw in a MuleCab sliding table. When I installed this it required that I move my Unifence rail to the right. This gave me room to move the...
