    Thanks everyone. I'm stuck with standard angle planes for now, aside from a low angle block that's giving me fits. I'll try to set this up on the shooting board this weekend. If not having a low...

    So simple, yet so useful. I keep meaning to make a set of spacers, and keep forgetting or putting it off. Maybe this time I'll get it done. Thanks for posting this!

    Thanks guys. I'll give the Vari-Grind a shot.
    Right now I'm working with less-than-optimal tools (read: cheap imports and some older Craftsman stuff). I'll spend some time grinding on those before...

    I bought one to keep our dive lights charged (SLA). I've got (4) 12v packs daisy chained together; the battery minder does a great job keeping them charged. I also use...

    If a bracket will do the trick, how about using adhesive instead of drilling? Something like the 3M strips for the wall hooks? A thin piece of sheet metal, shaped and painted to blend in with the...

    Does this mean that it only happens when you are using the mitre gauge, and not when you use the fence?

    Does it happen with both miter slots, or just one of them?

    Is it possible that the motor...

    My favorite is a Browning Buckmark, but my sentiment is the same. If you just want to plink, get a decent .22lr rifile or pistol. Tons of fun and cheap to shoot!
