Wife wants a 3' x 5' coffee table with a 6" skirt made to look like it is a huge thick one-piece slab. Although I think I can rip the 6' long miters to fold the sides, how do I crosscut the 4' x 6'...
Even with nobody in the house and no heat or cooling fans, the dust will still go from one end of the house to the other. All except the dust that goes up your nose and in your eyes.:eek: Not very...
I had a HF 14" abrasive cut-off saw. The blade could not be adjusted to be 90 degrees to the base so I sold it for $30 on CL. I replaced it with a $180 Bosch made in Germany. It arrived in a nice...
I do. I have allergies. When building my house, I was ripping 2x10s on the radial arm saw, etc., in the garage for days. I developed asthma from the wood dust. Pretty miserable and difficult to sleep...
I bought a Rockler table, but with the weight of a router and lift, it sagged quickly. Returned it.

My G0490X Jointer, G1021X2 Planer and G0555 Bandsaw from Grizzly were all delivered by a gorilla from UPS. He smashed and dropped the tools. The 700# planer box with a fragile precision machinery...
I have a new G0490X. The belt seems to be too long. When the jointer is running, the belt is sloppy and and is hitting the slot in the base from the motor to the drive pulley. Since there is no...
With my SawStop I am terrified that I will do that with my Incra miter gauge. Also, I salvaged some plywood with many shipping nails. After I removed all of them, I made 4 rip cuts. All the while I...
When a house in my neighborhood burned, the contractor sprayed a gray "primer" throughout the house to seal the smoky smell.

I looked at the Makita, but wanted a high-speed drill for wood and a slow-speed drill for screws. Cost was a minor consideration. I could not find one anywhere so I bought a low-cost Ridgid corded...
I am using an Incra setup on my SawStop with 92" rails. I don't feel comfortable going from perfect alignment for a TS cut, then moving the stops for routing and back to TS. I always feel like I need...
I have one and it does tip if the wood drops below it and pushes it over. Then I have a big problem trying to complete the cut.

Good point. I am also concerned about the jointer and the planer. The 240v drops (and dust collection) are for them. I was thinking the jointer should feed into the table saw outfeed table, but maybe...
I just received a G0555 Bandsaw, G0490X 8" Jointer with 6.5' bed, G1021X2 15" Planer - all too heavy to be moving around. Where should I put them and in what direction to make them easy to work with?...
I just uncrated the 3 replacement machines in 4 boxes. More problems. The planer control panel arm is severely bent, but the box is undamaged. I am guessing that it was slammed around inside the box....
I agree on both counts. I tried to describe the inadequate clearance to Grizzly and asked for the 4 boxes to be put on pallets so the pallet jack would slide under them. The new shipment had the 2...
I just received a Grizzly G0555 14" Bandsaw, a G0490X 8" Jointer and G1021X2 15" Planer. I am excited. However, I could not believe the condition of the tools sent Monday. The 1500# in 4 boxes were...
Since I am only 150# and had a double hernia repair caused by pushing a car with 4 flat tires, I had to figure out a way to avoid future hernia surgeries. I bought a $300 engine hoist.
I wrapped...
I had many problems installing my Super Gorilla. Some of you may get a laugh at me, and potential buyers may want to avoid my errors. The cyclone has 4 parts. The cone is fairly light and the motor...
Problem solved! Although the DeWalt tech seemed incredulous that my shaft had no threads, he agreed to send me a new one. No threads on the fine adjustment shaft meant that frequently my slots were...
Occasionally I see a reference to a RAS being a dangerous tool. For 30 years I had a Craftsman as my only stationary power tool. Used it to build a dining table with mitered rip joints, work bench...
My biscuit joiner will not hold a depth setting. After screwing the fine adjustment rod, it will without warning go full depth (and cut through 5/8 plywood)! I finally saw the problem. The fine...
I just ordered a Grizzly 8" jointer and a Grizzly 14" bandsaw that will be delivered after I return from vacation. I plan to order a planer tomorrow.
I am too new and too stupid or clumsy to just...
Thanks for the tips. The 20" is $1000 more than 15". Lot of money for 5"! And at 909 pounds it is 300# heavier. But, more importantly, I know that I will be joining planed boards and not joining and...
