Thanks for the input, Dave!

Any ideas on this one...I'm hoping to build someting this weekend.

Thanks Ben. I'm interested in the info as well!

I am in the process of designing a shop in a two car garage. Over the years I have accumualted 1 bench grinder and 2 nice grinder motors. To me this equates to 6 possible wheels, buffers or...

I put a Carter stabilizer on my Jet 18" when I use a 1/8" blade. I can do incredibly detailed work with this quick changeover.

Don, I left out some info. I do have another similar size craftsman bandsaw that I am going to keep. I am actually thinking about starting a "metal bench/station". I think if I bought a small...

After buying my new Jet 18" bandsaw (thank you, thank you!) I am decommisioning my old Craftsman bandsaw (4" rise - 12" throat). Because I am so cheap and can't throw anything out, here are my two...

Alan, if you just need to get to spring and are tearing the roof down... just tar the heck out of the leak areas!

I was heading for Dev's recommendation for Schmidt's at $32 for the 3 pack. Global had the same T1 size for $17, so I went with them.

Now I'm off to build a solid stand, wait for the knives, and...

Dominick, after going on the sites that everyone has recommended I found that you really don't even need to know your make and model, just the size of your current knives...assuming that they fit...

Thanks, all!

Dev, I found my part number and I'm going to get the t1's first thing in the morning. Thanks.

Where do you guys buy jointer knives?

I like the way you think, Jamie. I can picture it.

Assuming an eight foot ceiling, then the four shalves would have to be a tad more than 13 1/2 inches apart. I like the concept, but that...

Lee, I like that! I actually saw this post when I was cruising through classifieds. I didn't pay attention to it, though, thinking "rotary tool" was like "dremel tool". I just didn't look closely...

I'm thinking of building a "grinder/sanding station". The concept that I have in my head is a carousel type of table top that can be rotated to put the proper grinder/buffer/sander in the front.

I was thinking about picking up the Jet JWBS-18X bandsaw at a local wood show this weekend. This is the newer model with the increased resawing capacity and the roller bearings. Price is $850. ...

Thanks, Brad. A platter is exactly what I'm doing. I appreciate the tips, I will certainly try it out.

Here's a quick question for the pros. How do you mount a 5" x 5" x 3/4" piece of wood on a lathe? Can I mount a piece of scrap wood with screws and then use double sided tape? Do I have to glue...

Lots of great thoughts. Thanks a bunch.


I am heading down the road of using Per's idea. I am going to add a quick jig to easily set the outfeed table 3/32" higher then the cutting cylinder...

Per - thanks for the new explanation. I had the idea backwards also. I am heading to the store in ten minutes for my magnets.


Ps...I also liked your thoughts on people hard selling their...

I did see a similar product, but wasn't sure if this was "gimmicky" or if folks are really using it.

Fortunately, the blades I thinking of using are off the shelf items.


Thanks, Bruce.

Thanks, guys. Ballpark of what these systems are running?

I am restoring a very old DURO jointer. The knives just rest in a groove and are held in place by the gibs. They do not touch the bottom of the grooves. There are no leveling screws. At least...

For a rookie here...what is the big difference in this Festool circular saw. I understand it has good dust control and a guide sytem. Any thing else?

Mark, one of the neat things I do when I look at all the great posts here is try to figure out who the man is behind the post. Between the avitars, home web pages, shop tours and advice it's always...
