Dewalt didn't "combine" anything. The 28v/36v line was killed after a VERY short run, around 2009. The flex volt didn't appear until 2016.
I've read different versions of the story that claims that...

Does anyone know the backstory of why Dewalt cancelled their line of 28 & 36V tools several years ago?
The entire line looked to be above-average quality and the batteries used were the desirable...

I was going to post a water resistance test I did but then found I couldn't include pictures. I'm very sorry to see this forum go that way.

Am I wrong about MDO? I've read the top layer is resin-impregnated paper that's weather-resistant.
I took that to mean it wouldn't be affected if I got some water or solvent on it, unlike MDF that...

I'm building a reloading bench and I thought MDO might make a good work surface without needing extra steps to paint or poly for protection. Time will tell how rugged it is--but reloading shouldn't...

I bought a Nova G3 but on examination it looks weak and I don't like the open back. So I started looking again.
The Grizzly T10810 chuck kit looks to be a good value. IMHO they're limiting the...

Seems like I could also make an adapter bushing out of a short 1"-8 hex bolt, with a 5/8 bore through it. Add a grub screw through one of the flats to lock it on the spindle.
Turning a nice shoulder...

The Grizzly catalog page for the T10810 chuck shows 2 optional adapters--one that could be described as an "insert" that's 3/4” x 16tpi ID INSIDE 1"x 8tpi OD, and a different one that fits the...

Here are 2 pictures. One is the Robert Sorby Patriot chuck with insert, the other a Grizzly with... Whatever they call it.
Looks identical to me. It's Grizzly saying nobody's insert will fit.

Brice,
Ok as the only responder who has this Grizzly chuck, does the kind of insert that everyone shows online (about 1-1/4" long with 1"x8tpi threads at one end and a thicker collar about 3/8” long...

About those Nova chucks... Their website claims their chuck bodies have a proprietary thread and only THEIR adapters fit. I've NEVER seen this mentioned anywhere else and suspect it's a flat lie.

What about the dozens of similar chucks? Do I have to buy each to verify one way or the other whether those adapters will fit?

OK now I'm confused. I thought most small wood lathe chucks has the body threaded 1"x8tpi and would accept various spindle adapters with that OD thread.
Then I get a reply from Grizzly that such...

I'll have to consider sucking dust down through the plate. I've been using my Woodsmith-plan cabinet for 20 years and it looks like it'd be a simple thing to seal the airflow slots and convert one to...

No. Safer to assume I have a vacuum above the plate, like everyone USED to do it, but rarely use it since I mostly do edge work on the table and chips come off sideways at such velocity the...

I hadn't planned to get the skeletonized inserts--but that might be because I don't understand them. Won't they allow chips to blow right up into my face?

I stopped in after work to ask. They can special order it--but shipping will be same as if I ordered it myself so no savings.

I'll try signing up for specials. I'm not in any great hurry--I've...

MDO is slick & tough, if you can source it.

I need to upgrade my lexan plate to something more substantial for a bigger router. The Incra with the "magna lock" inserts looks to me like the best available without going the expense of a lift....

Delta tried this many years ago wIth their Unifeeder. The feeder wasn't a big commercial success. I have tried it mounted on the fence and it does work. But the Unifeeder didn't have a long arm--i...

Thanks everyone! I'm good with it. I did ask the seller but he didn't offer any explanation beyond "you received what was pictured". True. Personally I would have stated it in the description.
...

I bought an Elu 3339 and it arrived yesterday. It's in fine shape, runs good, variable speed works and there's no bearing whine. It arrived as the router with 1/2" collet, plus edge guide. Nothing...

Amen! There are probably no shortcuts to guaranteed success with mitered corners.

If the panels are large --a countertop for example--i guess I'd have to use a hand saw.
About the only Formica look I like anymore is a hardwood edge that's sandwiched under the laminate and...

I used my crosscut sled to nick off the ends but it was fussy and far from foolproof. Still hoping there's a better way to do this very-common task.
