    Three good solutions, each worth a try (with the two free ones first).. Thanks!
  2. How to grip the shaft of a router bit (to loosen a nut)

    I have a new Freud Adjsutable Tongue & Groove” router bit set. There rare two bits, both with 1/2” shafts. It’s possible to adjust the width of the tongue and the grove by inserting spacers that...

    Thanks for the suggestions. It’s quite easy to push the side in a bit to straighten them, so the idea of using additional hinges with a properly squared up set of doors makes sense. A face frame...
  4. Slightly bowed sides of a tall cabinet - how to install doors??

    I built a 72"high x 36" wide cabinet for an armoire, using solid core maple plywood for the sides of the case. My intent was (and still is) to install 2 flush doors so that the armoire can be...

    Thanks - I did unscrew the deeply recessed screws, but perhaps I didn't try hard enough to yank the top off. Will try again. And thanks for the comment about the foam - mine has the same thing.

    G0555LANV has a 1 HP motor and an open stand. G0555X has a 1-1/2 HP motor and a closed stand in addition to the larger table. If you plan to do any resawing, the extra 1/2 HP will be very useful.

    I retired a 30-year-old Delta 10" RAS and replaced it with a 12" Bosch 5312-RT slider a few years ago, before the GCM12SD came out. The Bosch has plenty of power to go with its dimensional capacity,...

    Like you, I have an old-style Ultra on my table saw and a new LS-style Incra on my router table. I don't find the micro-adjust on the old version to be a problem, but if you frequently make...

    Me too -- almost everything it built to the same height (36") in my 12 x 20' workshop. That way no table is ever in the way of a panel that's being milled on another table.

    Just got the router attachment. It looks kinda crude -- a somewhat rough metal casting with a plastic slide for the track. But I tested it on the track it slid back & forth very easily, and there...

    Thanks, Ed. I found the Dewalt connector on line and ordered it. From what I have read, the clamps from all three manufacturers are interchangeable, so you're probably right in thinking that the...

  15. It is possible to extend a Dewalt track saw fence??

    I'm interested in the Dewalt DSW522 track saw. It's available with a 59" fence, and for $140 more, in a kit with 59" and 105" tracks. But there's also a 46" accessory track for about $70. Since 59...
  16. PC 690 is OK; some issues with it

    I have a Porter Cable 690 mounted on a Leight Super FMT. The disadvantage is that the FMT's standard positioning hardware doesn't work for the PC. So the base has to be put on with screws. It's not...

    Consider a Leigh Super FMT

    The Super FMT is heavy guage steel rather than milled aluminum, so it's cheaper to make. It's about $400 new at Highland Hardware. I've had mine only a short while, but it produces accurate mortise &...

    I torqued down the bolts holding the motor and use a link belt and the wheels remain co-planar. The top wheel on my saw was way out of balance and after drilling as many 1/4" hole as I draed, I...

    Shark Guard is superb and the wait time is down

    It's true that you can't make a non-through cut or a dado, but the Shark Guard has superb dust collection capability for through cuts, including cuts made with a zero clearance insert. It's quick and...

    Super FMT - securing the workpiece

    I can secured a workpiece for cutting a mortise if the piece is long enough to cross over and be secured by clamps on both sides, but it does seem hard to secure a short workpiece when it's just...

    Grizzly has an adjustable miter bar & good instructions.

    I haven't looked at the others, but I do know that the Rockler one I looked at didn't have any way to adjust the fit of the miter bar. The Grizzly has a couple of set screws you can use to get a...
