Three good solutions, each worth a try (with the two free ones first).. Thanks!
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...
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.
I have a 7-year-old Fein Turbo II vacuum/dust extractor -- Model 9-20-25, "Dustex 40." The power switch has three settings -- "off," "auto" (which starts the vacuum when a power tool is plugged in...
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...
Great -- that was my next question. ;-)
Perfect -- thanks!
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
For 10+ years I've been using the Incra TS fence and I bought the Incra extension and an Incra router fence to attach to the TS fence so I could swap the TS fence & gauage around to use the router...
I'd certainly like a digital readout for blade height, and the link to Wixey's web site showing the readout for router lifts has me thinking about how much more useful the lift would be with that...
Alas, all I had time to do today (Sunday) was to set up the Super FMT - didn't get a chance to try it out. It will be a couple of weeks... Will post a report when I do.
As far as setup is...
Just received the "Super FMT" which is made out of heavy gauge steel rather than milled aluminum. Got it from Highland Hardware for $399.
It seems very solid and has all the fittings and...
