In setting up for drilling the vise screws, I registered the bottom of the outer jaw against a drill press fence to set the distance from the bottom and used a stop to set the hole distance from...

Here are some pictures of how I did it.
With planning I was able to make it all fit without anything getting in the way.
The vise screws are 22" center to center.

Gave the magazines to a local new woodworker, but kept the Fine...
Once you get past the price, its all good.
Had mine since Thanksgiving with no problems.
I did need help getting the head unit on the post, its heavy and awkward.

In the Lee Valley set they state the drill bits are between 8-3/4" and 11" overall.
I just measured my 1/4" Steel City drill bit and its 6 1/4" long.
I'm beginning to think the difference is just...
The Lee Valley instructions on the Premium Hollow Mortise Chisels has a section on shortening the drill shank.
Could it be that simple?
I hope so.
Sent an email to Woodworker Supply asking about...
Does anyone know why Woodworkers Supply offers bits configured for the Steel City (and Delta) Mortise machines?
I don't see where the Steel City manual makes any mention of there bits being any...
I used WD40 an old toothbrush and lots of paper towels on mine (Christmas gloat).
Carefull, those cutters are sharp.

This is a Craftsman tablesaw from the early 80's, the kind you can pickup on craigslist for $100.

I do not have a miter slot for the router, so far I haven't missed (or needed) it.
By facing the router table forward I was able to make the cabinet wider vs the 27" depth of the table saw. This...
Hi William,
I started with the same plans, then modified to my likes.
My first base was just like the in the plans, but I didn't like it.
Next I changed the base to a torsion box type of...
No problems, and works great!
Here's a picture of a Craftsman contractors saw I upgraded with the Vega fence. The fence bolted right on with no modification needed.
With the fence, miter gauge,...
After waiting over a month with several emails and phone calls I canceled my order with inline.
The parts arrived 2 weeks later.

Try the Lowes in Schaubmurg (Barrington and Schaumubrg Rd).
On line they currently show 2X12X8 and 2X12X10 in stock.
Last week when I was there they had 2 skids of the 2X12X8 and one skid of...

I just received a 9" X 12" Granite surface plate from Grizzly, $27.65 delivered.
The plan is to use a sheet of 220 wet/dry sandpaper to flatten the Shapton Pro 220, then use 400 wet/dry sandpaper...
Some info on MDF,
When cutting MDF there is a lot of fine sawdust, it gets everywhere. I usually cut MDF outside on the driveway.
MDF dust is not good for you, wear a dust mask till the dust...
I like your idea about MDF, its a very stable material. I would have the BORG cut each piece in half, two 4X4 pieces will be much easier to handle. A 4X8 sheet of 3/4 MDF weighs 75-90 pounds. Much...
Greg,
Check out the Lowe's in Schaumburg (Barrington and Schaumburg). They normally have a shelf of 2X12X8 SYP. I have seen 2X12X10 there, but its been a couple of months. this is construction...
Never had a problem with the Mendards BB.
I've used the 1/2" and 3/4", wasn't disappointed with either.
Now I have found the store staff doesn't always know what BB is, so sometimes there is...
Hello Chuck,
I built an assembly table the same height as my table saw so it could be used like an out-feed table. So far this is working out pretty good. The only issue I've had is the need to...
Had the same problem when making drawers using a Lock Miter Bit.
Had to score the face of the BB with a razor blade to eliminate the splintering.

I also attached a backer board the piece being mitered with double sided tape. Found there was no edge left on the board to guide it once passed the bit. The backer board kept the piece square...
