I moved into an 1800 sf shop and faced the prospect of facing it with a 2hp JDS cyclone left over from my previous shop. When I dissembled the old system, I discovered (at least) two things. The...

Well, I got some info. The little computer chip that sequences the air lock, then the blower, then the bag shaker, etc. has a single phase leg to a transformer (to DC). Apparently that leg can be...
If I may ask, who is selling these at $770?
I am installing a used 15hp, 3ph Murphy-Rodgers dust collector along with some milling machines on a friend's lumber business property. It's a long story that I won't bore you with, but my own shop...
I made a quick sketch(up) of the blocks. My saw is in my shop, 20 miles from here so a quick pic will have to wait until Monday.

I may well be preaching to the choir, but has everyone heard of "Sammy Blocks"? Sam(my) Blasco of Minimax and wood nut extraordinaire, has devised these blocks of phenolic material which are...
Nice find, Gary!
I've been an Apple guy for more than 25 years and have never used cut list software until this discovery. I tried the trial version and immediately bought it. I just do not like...

Is the room in California? If so, consider earthquake generated flying objects.

Bubinga table, lots of leg room.

I have never, ever received an Everlast or a Tenryu that was not in top condition, nor have I heard of one. FORREST MAKES SAW BLADES. These are not robotic laser surgery machines. These are...
I have had a 2040 for more than 20 years and would not part with it under any circumstances. I have run miles of stock through the thing and I just can't kill it. I have put 2-3 sets of expensive...
:confused:I am amazed at how some folks will make excuses for businesses in which they have no interest beyond buying their products. Forrest has a fine reputation, but that does not relieve them...
