I have a set of Peltor FM headphones that have a microphone on them that lets me listen to what is going on in the shop. When a loud noise at 80db occurs it cuts off the noise. Now you may try to get...

I have a sawstop, and the switch on it has a toggle switch I just turn it off. I am the only one in the shop at the time so not much danger of anybody turning on by accident.

As mentioned, the reason my brake triggered was that a peice of the brad came around with the blade and bridged the gap between the blade and the surface of the brake thus completing the...

Thank you all for your replys. I have been looking at Homestead Finishing, but they have a lot of models to choose from.
I need to do more research to determine which gun will meet my needs and...

I will add a vote for the Bosch series. I have had mine for years and power, battery life have exceeded my expectations. Also I recently bought another and a part was missing an Bosch sent that part...

Jenny, I have had a sawstop now for about 3 years and have had only one trigger episode and that was my mistake of cutting a board with a small brad in it. The brad fragment went around and grounded...

I am wanting to buy a HVLP gun that I can use for most stains and finishes. So far what I have gleaned is I need one with interchangeable needles and nozzles. I already have a compressor, dryer and...

Jason, you don't mention your budget or frequency of use for this lifting and moving of equipment. But I have been in fleet and commercial truck sales for about 30yrs now and have seen and installed...

To address your concern about cabinet or contractor, get the cabinet. Having a tablesaw in the house dust collection is a concern. The cabinet saw will do a better job of this. I own a sawstop and...

Jay, I am a bit of an audiophile myself and thru the years I have experimented with different cooling methods. I run some good sized amps as well as a preamps and a processor that can generate...

I have never heard of this before I found a website cgallery.com, is that thiens website? It seems to be quite a solution, however I have limited shop space and if I could add the Vortex cone to my...

I too have a DC1100 with the canister. And I saw this cone fo the first time at the WW Show last november. I looked at WoodCraft again tonight and took a few pictures. I think that it can be made...

Buy a plastic portable file box, you know the kind with a handle on the lid. Make a 1/8 masonite divider to place each blade in between and coat the blade with a rust preventor. Buy some cheap car...

Just to chime in here. I would keep the Kreg as well. I think the holding strength is greater than a Domino or Biscuit can offer. My point is I think you can pull apart either of the glued Domino or...

Great Advice and much thanks to all. I will look at the youtube video and probably order Leonord Lees book.
I may wait till the WW Show and see if it is cheaper there.
Thanks Again to everyone.

I agree that you asking a lot of a blade. But I am a Forrest devotee, and I would say that if you are going to buy one blade to start, go with the WWII 40 tooth standard kerf. You have the power in...

Thanks for the replies so far gentlemen. It seems the Leonard Lee is rather popular. I think Gary's advice is something that fits my problem with impatience:)

One of my many weak skills in woodworking is keeping a sharp edge on chisels, knives, etc. I received an e-mail this morning from American Woodworker with advertisement for a DVD on sharpening. But...

I think Chris has the best idea with a close second by Bruce! If I borrowed a tool it would get returned in the same condition and cleaned. I hate to loan tools and only do so to very few friends and...

I would make a gasket from just about any gasket material, as the heat resistance isn't a real issue. But my first concern is why did it fail? It most likely failed because the mating surfaces are...

Terry, do you really feel the stiffener is necessary on the 1/8" Blade? I have wrestled with this myself. I used to run thin kerf blades with a stiffener and when I bought my new saw, so I sold those...

I have been wanting to buy a new 1/3 sheet pad sander and it seems only a few brands offer any. Makita, B&D and Sears. I had hoped for a Porter Cable or Bosch as I would expect the quality to be a...

I have a number ow Forrest blades and just replaced a WWII as my SawStop ate it. But I have never had an issue, however as Glenn states, Forrest will take care of you. Send it back to them after you...

There are a number of products that can be used. I have used Boeshield T9 but be sure to let it soak then wipe it off real good as it can leave a residue that will get on your wood. Also there is a...
