Most 1/4" plywood is too thin for a regular style and rail set. I don't do any of mine with a router but shapers. I have a special slot cutter and rub collar for my shaper to get the plywood to fit...
I'm certain that that one will work but it looks to me like it's gonna take a lot of extra fiddlin around. I build faceframes weekly and use a kreg forman to do mine but I still have my old kreg jig...
Congratulations on your first shaper, you will love it. I too started out using a rt to build doors and when I bought my first shaper I really learned what they were all about. I now own 5 each...
I have always had issues with my tool sharpener services not being what they should be. Their prices are up there pretty high and lately the company that has been handling my sharpening has dropped...
You can make doors and other parts with a shaper without a power feeder. Now mind you I would recommend one in your future but I made doors for a good while without one, now
i've got 4.
I've got some knee issues and foot pain along with an aching back and I've been using the Sketchers Shape Ups and I love em. I've been wearing little other shoes now for nearly 2 years and my back...
That's the way I got started and have now been retired from my day job for nearly 4 years and my shop is kickin tail everyday. I now have a full time cabinetmaker and some part time help, had it in...
Thanks for the reply Van, I appreciate knowing something about your thoughts on the machine. I'm trying to cut back on the labor associated with hand sanding even tho this won't take all of it away...

Do any of you have experience with the Superbrush sander by SuperMax tools. I'm taking a close look at one and wanted to ask for imput. Seldom post anymore but read everyday. If you guys would...

I have the W&H molder now but years ago I ran molding on a foley belsaw/craftsman planer molder. The W&H is a great little machine and does a supurb job making molding. If I had the $$ I'd have a...
Glad to see you did an upgrade on that spiral head. When I was down there last year I wondered about that system. Wish they had em for my planer, maybe someday.
Must have been a different guy than I dealt with last time I tried to do business with them over 10 years ago. They lost my business then and I still haven't gone back. He was a real turkey. I...
Excellant job on a first project. I can't wait to see what you will come up with after you've been at this for a while. Geez if I had only had a domino for my first project, lucky guy, I still...
I've got the C12 and it is an awsome little drill. Lots of power for it's class and I mostly like the interchangeable chucks that come with it. I didn't think that I would use them all that much...
Well guys just a bit of an update. I recieved my retirement gift from the school district last Thursday night and I've got only 5 more days in the classroom. SWMBO worked on some wording for an add...
That is gonna be a classic!!

Hasn't been a problem at all. We always work to teach different ideas than that for what I call "tool attitude" The kids are pretty serious business when it comes to power tools.
Hey Rick. I have 2 of the super generals and one 24 tooth ripper. I recently ordered a second ripper and the new design was not nearly the blade that the original one was. I called them on it and...
We've got the saw stop in use in our shop at the school where I teach. It's a great tablesaw not unlike the others we have been using all those other years. Our shop had two unisaws in it and we...
33 now Ken, thanks for the birthday wishes.
I have two of the GI machines and I want to respectfully disagree with what has been said about them being lower quality. In fact the GI drum sander I have is a great machine, I had a Grizzly drum...
