Euclid Super Diamond Clear. Easy application with a paint roller and long handle. Money and time well spent.

Does any one have a recommendation of where to stay while attending Marc Adams School? Or a warning of where not to stay? I am about to make a reservation and thought i would quiz the collective. ...

I use an inexpensive (not cheap) fractional dial caliper purchased from Highland Hardware years ago. I rely on them for accurate work. I don't worry too much about their well-being. I also have a...

Possibly the wrong part? I have the same setup. Once you clear this hurdle, you're going to love it! Was a game changer for me.

Hopefully not too far off of the subject: The modified dust collection on your PM66 looks amazing! Does it work well? Thanks,

Craig

+1 for a quality used unit for the shop. Basically buying new ductwork with a free unit. Can always replace the unit when necessary. Must have the ductwork installed before spray insulation.

How tall are your ceilings? I am making a lighting decision for my shop too. The main floor area is approximately 24 x 50. Walls are 12' with a 7/12 pitch cathedral ceiling. Walls and ceiling are...

I have Westones too. Wonderful in my opinion. Same frequency response as your ears just less volume. There have inserts for various levels of reduction. I like the 10 db reduction for clubs and...

I have Nicholson, Auriou, and Gramercy rasps. The Gramercy rasp is my favorite. I like the smaller size and cheaper price vs. the Auriou. Gramercy rasps are made in Pakistan, not USA.

The ruler from a Starrett 12" combination square covers 90% of checking plane soles, waterstones, and projects. I also use 24" and 60" Starrett straight edges for setting up machines.
