David, I would say my saw ( GO513x2) won't adequately tension that blade. Don't rule out getting your blades cut down to 131 1/2 and rewelded, or do it your self. Woodcraft sells a kit that is...

Braden, I bought some air dried walnut recently and some of it had powder post beetles - which can be a real problem. If wood is klin dried to 130 degrees, that kills the beetles, since it hasn't...
James, Japan Woodworker has a number of saws in your price range. http://www.japanwoodworker.com/product.asp?s=JapanWoodworker&pf_id=18%2E150%2E0&dept_id=13085
The 6 inch dovetail has a kerf less...
Wayne, it looks great. How long is it? Also, did SJBT set it up for 60 degrees or was that your decision after you got the casting?
Dave, I bought mine about a year ago and it is a great saw. The only downside is that the handle for the fence was in a awkward position. I don't know if they corrected that with the current model...
Pete, congrats on your success.
Scott, I usually flip in the other position, and take down the middle hump and find that is easier for me. When you do it the frown way, you get an aggressive cut at first ( because the board is...
Tom, I wasn't really worried that they would go out of business, but did buy 2 cartridges just in case. OTOH, even if they go under 25 or 50 years from now, you could always bypass the electronic...
Curtis, you can spin the blade by hand without a problem. So long as the saw is not on, the detection is still active but it won't trigger anything other than a red light. If you have a question...
Peter, hot hide glue. I used the cheap tea kettle type warmer, I put the glue in glass jars, and put the jar in the water. I also keep an instant read thermometer in the water and try to keep the...
Glen, I drilled , countersunk and tapped for 4 nylon screws spaced along the length of the bar. Since I couldn't find nylon set screws, I just used flat heads. I was concerned that the would move...
Peter, I work in a mostly unheated garage ( 1 small electric space heater ) and I don't do anything to heat the wood and don't have any problems using hide glue. Try some samples first and see if...
Bob, thanks for the update. If you can get any pictures of the stand up desk that would be appreciated, I have no idea what it looks like and will be making a stand up desk soon so I was hoping to...
Bas, nice review. I agree on the handles that lock the fence down, I replaced them last week with handles that sit above the top of the fence and am much happier. I don't know if the ribs reduce...
Steve, I don't have any pictures because the table was kind of ordinary, but I made the 4 legs foldable. I made a wooden u shaped bracket at each end of the table with the open end of the u facing...
If you check Jack's other post, you will see they have responded to him and have sent stuff on the way. In addition, in his post he admits the original problem wasn't Grizzly at all, it was...
Rob, just wanted to add that I sold my Ryobi BT3000 to get the SS PCS in the shop ( I still miss the sliding table a little). My take is that for most users, the SS is in the same class as the PM...
Matt, Mark is right, if you are going to use it primarily for resaw, the 1 inch is fine. Once it is on it works fine. For me, while resaw is the most work for the saw, it isn't the only thing I use...
I have both the original steel and the titantium coated ( and a WWII thin kerf) I haven't done any testing, but like the titantium very much now and have left the WWII in the drawer since I got the...
Matt, yes and no. I have a smaller bandsaw with the same layout as the Glizzly - you have to rotate the blade 90 degrees to get it in place, and got the blade trapped in the slot in the top while I...
Sean, it was his feeling, and he diagrammed it and it made sense, that the chipping came from the bending of the fibers before they sheared - if so then you would have a hump in the middle instead...
I sat through an intro to dovetailing by Rob Cosman ( not the full class) and he talked about the tearout - bending that you see in the middle of the wood when you chop down the strike line, from...
Dave, I would have never thought they would put in a shim that wasn't needed. Good idea to go through CS. Hope your jointer is working great now.
Chris, the Electrophysics scream Heath Technologies to me, IIRC the name of the company where you could buy electric meters and such either put together or as a kit.
David, the SS is fairly pricey, as such you can expect most users to be pretty defensive of their decisions to purchase. I have the PCS, and overall am very impressed. There is no doubt that their...
