    Just a quick post to clarify something I perceived as misleading. The above comment is talking about stability, and use of >(greater than) signs might suggest that flat sawn has greater stability...

    There are all kinds of people in this world, and you'll find all kinds of people on here as well. I've seen people come out of the gates with their newly-found hobby of woodworking, and go straight...

    That sucks to hear that. I'd like to bench mount my SCMS, but the rear rails get in the way, so I've been looking at the LS1019L, the Kapex and the Bosch to get the wall clearance. From what I've...

    Oscillating blade... Cool! My Bosch Jigsaw has that feature to allow you to plunge cut with the blade. Nice to see advancements in technology coming to the bandsaw market!

    Best wishes, and I hope everybody stays safe in the workshop and elsewhere this year!

    The question that pops up in my mind is why did the problem with the chain occur (twice)?? Was it a malfunction of parts, or just an inferior design? America's apparent love for cheap, import tools...

    When using a nail gun, always keep your work-holding hand at least as far away from the business end of the nail gun, as the nail is long. I've seen nails of all sizes do a 180° turn and come out...

    I couldn't disagree more. Anything on 4 swivel casters will have a mind of its own moving it unless it weighs next to nothing. Try moving a 1500+ lb. machine on 4 swivel casters and you'll...

    I have one in a PM-180 awaiting restoration. They have a bad rap because adjusting all of the little blades is time consuming and frustrating. If you need to buy new blades, they're much more...

    The HF engine hoist is what you'd expect from something made in China. The bearings on the wheels are horrible, so it has a mind of its own trying to move it across the shop floor. The level of...
