okay guys, sounds like I'll go with shellac. Thanks everyone.

Thanks Jim, so like some satin Polycrylic or General Finishes High performance? I'd always been taught keep oil with oil, water with water when applying finishes.

Twenty or more years ago I made a birch Campaign Desk with more drawers in it than I can count. I finished the project with Watco Danish Oil. It looks good, but even after all these years the...

I have a SawStop and love it. I'm a retired orthopaedic surgeon and bought mine about 10 years ago after a long night repairing another woodworkers damaged hands. I can personally vouch that the...

Jim,

I'm a mediocre woodworker who has been getting both mags for years. I used to get FWW, American Woodworker, Wood, Woodsmith, Popular Woodworking, Woodworker's Journal, and just about...

The toughest part for me was leveling the wings, and securing the switch-box to the saw. My switchbox still wiggles a little. Like everyone else has said, check here for threads both on the sawstop...

You know, looking at pictures like Gary's is a lot like looking at Fine Woodworking magazine. It's fascinating, but at the same time it rubs my nose in my own inadequacies!! Absolutely...

Here in overpriced Northern Virginia I can get it "cheap" at 4.50 bf, FAS unsurfaced, as a "short". Full length boards, wide boards, surfaced boards, or figured boards all cost either an arm or a...

I'm very happy with my Jet. I got it for $150 on sale at Amazon, delivered. Keep your eye out, and you might be able to find a similar sale.

It is noisier than I expected, but it is "white...

I'll try and take a picture today, and post it later. I bought an extension kit for my shopvac from HD, about 20 bucks. My dustcollector sits just to the right of my saw. I put blast gate right...

Larry,
I bought a Sawstop PCS when I felt like I had outgrown my Delta Contractor. I used that saw for 15 years, but was ready to take a step up to more power and better dust collection. The fact...

If you search these posts, you'll find some great ideas to help level any table saw extensions. I remember a picture of someone using 2x4s, clamps and sawhorses. I also found several great ideas...

Andrew - Please let me know if you notice a difference between the stabilizer and non-stabilizer cuts. If there isn't a difference, I may not go to the trouble of trying to get my stabilizer...

No, I have not been using a thin kerf blade. I was given to understand that blade stabilizers would make even a normal kerf blade give a smoother cut.

When I bought the Forrest stabilizer from...

Gil, What do you use for rip and crosscuts from Freud? I have a Sawstop, and I think I'm supposed to avoid coated blades.

Scott, I don't think I overtightened the nut. I never had a problem...

Last week I posted a thread about how my new Sawstop PCS saw was burning both sides of the cut when I was ripping maple. I felt like I had the saw aligned as good as I could possibly get. I was...

thanks for the input guys. I'll check the WWII this weekend for runout. Boy, I sure hope it is not the arbor, since I just got the saw 3 months ago.

I have been using an "Align-it" system...

Thanks for the input guys. I'm a little bit worried about the blade issue. The blade I have is a brand NEW Forrest WWII. It didn't feel dull when it gave me a little finger cut the first time I...

Please help. I'm burning maple when I make rip cuts. Both sides of the cut burn. I must have some sort of alignment issue, but I can't figure it out because both sides burn. I've used an...

Dirk,
If you make the deck, please send me the cut-offs!!!!

Anybody have any expereince with Reitech? They make Easy Off power controls. I have one on my tablesaw, and I really like it. It is a big swithc, easy to turn off the saw with my knee. ...

I've had my PCS for 3 months. I am a home hobbyist, but this saw makes me feel like I'm in the professional leagues! I love everything about it, including the safety features. Just a few points:
...

Thanks Ken, for your diligence and efforts. Thanks to you, I don't have to try to "unread" anything vile, unlike Paul.

Aaron,

I did something similar with my contractor saw. I got rid of the legs and mobile base, and built a base with storage. Several of the magazines have plans for this sort of thing. Be sure...

Dan,

I had a difficult to diagnose problem with my PCS. And tech support was able to figure it out. Two things,

1. Don't worry about shipping it back. They offered to send a repair guy out...
