Yeah, that works for me, but my friend isn't former military like me.

Anybody else have a Grizzly 10% coupon they aren't going to use? I have a friend who wants to buy a $13k lathe, and could use one.

(and in answer to the last few, no I am not a contributor, but I...

You are talking about the 4" diameter knob with large numbers identifying the depth stop position on the right side of the machine? I can't really understand why this would be the basis for your...

That's funny, because never in my life have I actually wanted a Cadillac. Not just a matter of what I could afford.

And I am not too fond of Chevy either...

It is just aluminum. Cut off 1/2" (you could even do it on your table saw if you wanted). :D :eek: Of course, you would loose the pretty anodizing on that edge.

Email Justin at Woodpecker, and...

What is more, running bare copper wire down the inside of the duct is not going to do much to get rid of the static charge. The static charge exists because of the sawdust rubbing on the PVC...

Why? Steel City's machinery is either built in the same factory or one across the street. Grizzly innovation exceeds SC innovation IMHO, but I only say that because I can't handle granite tops on...

Good catch.

I misunderstood the parts list, which said that the 1029 and 1028Z are 10". Looks like there is a good reason to buy the 1029Z over the 1029 besides the 2.5 micron bag.

So their...

The 1029Z is on sale until Dec 31st, making it $259 + $76 shipping.

The HFDC is $250, unless you have a special coupon. I personally would be disappointed with what I got if I paid that much for...

For only a $55 price increase, I guess I can afford to wait until I can actually afford to buy it. I was afraid of more like a 15% price hike.

somebody with a catalog (hope mine is in the mail) mind looking up to see what the new cost of a G0602 metal lathe will be?

Anybody see any new products in the catalog? I remember last year's...

How about just hitting them with an 3" angle grinder? Alot easier to get them down smooth without messing up the surface around them (which is generally what a jig saw blade does for me).

If the...

150 Watts? That is 1.2 amps... not exactly a real powerful motor. I wouldn't expect that would be able to cut anything thicker then 26 gauge sheetmetal... very slowly.

What material are you...

Go for the Grizzly. It is a much better deal. The cutterhead and the motor alone are worth almost $600.

Two years ago, you could buy the 60B from Tools-Plus in CT for $1100. Now they are selling...

OK, I will bite... why not?

Where else are you going to find a hybrid TS with riving knife for that kind of price ($822)?

I have heard rumors of Jet coming out with a proshop version with RK...

One thing of note; the "optional" infeed/outfeed tables for the DW735 should not be optional; you will be virtually unable to avoid snipe without them, so figure that in your cost calculations.

Lots of moving blankets and LOTS of straps and ropes (you need to tie all your heavy stuff to the wall).

I had no problems getting my PM54A 6" jointer, Grizzly edge sander, 4x6 bandsaw, Rikon 14"...

Please count me in

They do work... but your car has to be immersed in salt water for it to function properly.

Active cathodic protection is used on big ships.... but if it isn't set up right, it will accelerate the...

One thing that strikes me is that when I look at the "Purchase Parts" link, it shows the spiral cutterhead parts as discontinued.

If that is the case, then make sure you buy several packages of...

I have a Rikon 14" as well, and it is very easy to move. I have an appliance dolly, and I had no problems pulling it up and down a u-haul ramp (by myself)... and I am not hercules.

"Should be available in Spring 2009"?

I wonder if this will be the kind of moving target seen with the contractor saw?

Looks like SS recognizes that the inevitable price increases are going...

You have probably figured out by now that everyone here has an additional hobby.... spending the new guy's money....

Don't blow your $5000 in one shot.... make sure you are going to enjoy what...

I would pay $105 to save having to do the conversion. Looking at the manual, it says it takes 3 hours (nominal, YMMV), shows using a gear puller to disassemble the planer, and reinstalling the gear...

slats made out of plywood would be a big mistake.

The advantage of plywood is it is strong in both directions. If you cut the plywood in narrow slats, then the inner layers with the grain running...
