Funny, I had not thought of it that way Rick, but that's just the sort of thing I was thinking about (i.e. a travelling/sliding vice system to hold work and move it incrementally). I am sure that...

So far I've tried a few different cutters for planing, including a 2" diameter glue joint bit and a 1" diameter dish cutter.

The glue joint bit vibrated to much, but the dish cutter did a...

The "pin routing" functionality I was trying to replicate was more along the lines of the MLCS Pin Router rather than one of the massive pneumatically controlled plunging machines. I have a 3/4" pin...

To those who are interested, here are two more videos of projects with my radial arm router. I sped them up so you don't need to spend a lot of time watching. The sound was too bizarre in the...

It works great Rick, thanks for asking!


I just used it a few weeks ago to joint and plane two hickory panels. One light pass through a friend's thickness planer at the end and they were...

A quick update for the curious and for those generous folks who gave me advice:

I picked up a v-link belt today and installed it on the saw. I could not BELIEVE the difference. The saw hums with...

A quick comment on my update from yesterday:

Looking back at my original post, I realize that the runout was always about .004 inches. Hastily typing yesterday, I confused blade runout with...

Thanks very much to all for the advice and commentary. It is much appreciated, and very helpful. Here is a quick followup on what I have done so far along with results.

I did check the...

I recently got a new (for me) Craftsman table saw #113298762

Before I bought it two months ago, the saw sat unused -- like new -- in a clean, dry garage for more than 15 years.

I did set it up...

Thanks very much for the concern, Jeff. You and I are of one mind on that matter.

In the videos, you can hear that I am very concerned about the safety issues, and I am planning to do quite a...

Here is a video of two test cuts I made. BTW - I installed the movie editor that came with my wife's camera, so I was able to make the video shorter (riotous applause ;-)

The 1/2" x 1/4" dado is...

Yes, I agree about the final box format. It feels very strong, and in making some fairly aggressive test cuts, 1/2" x 3/8" (posting video in a few minutes) , I've gotten much less deflection than I...

I would love to be I don't know how to cut and paste the videos.

Hi Myk:

Yes, I know. My apologies.

I tried to add the final video after I published the thread, but could not. This is the final video with the router mounted and ready to cut.

I will...

Hello Fellow Creekers:

I just thought I would share a recent shop project I've been working on.

A few weeks ago, I came across a radial arm saw with a broken motor pivot mount but in...

The rocking horse pattern was from Grizzly. It's a really nice plan. I got it free when I bought my bandsaw. Woodcraft's plan may actually be the same, I'm not sure.

The main advice I can give...

Thanks very much for the opportunity to try it out, Carl. I really enjoyed it.

Also, it makes me think I may put a tool up for sharing one of these days :-)

Gorgeous!

You picked a great piece of wood, and produced such nice detail on the skin, mouth and eyes. Well done!

As I read these posts about MDF, I am curious to get some feedback about my setup. I built my bench about 8 years ago using a 32" x 108" x 1 3/4" laminated maple tops (like one of these from...

11 Amp Craftsman with swappable bases (I leave the fixed-base in the router table), and a Triton 2 1/4 HP. I like them both, but for different things. The Triton's controls are awesome for plunge...

Hi Phillip:

I wanted to test the LN 112 mainly to compare it to the LV Cabinet Scraper (Stanley #80 style) which I have been using for many years now. Generally, the only limitation I've ever...

Quick update on the scaper plane....

I have been enjoying using it on a few projects. I have found it very tricky getting the right set angle for the iron to produce a useful cut. It seems to...

I have the LV medium and I really do love it. I'm using it at the moment to cut a finger grip rabbet around the bottom edge of a presentation cutting board. It's a real joy to use and the...

Thanks very much to all for your comments. Derek, your insights are spot on and much appreciated.

I do have a number of LV planes as well as other odds and ends that I've been enormously happy...

Tony:

If I am looking for the same style of scraper, what Stanley type or model number would I be looking for?
