    Hi Nick, I have a larger Graco Airless I use to spray paint. Which is really what it is intended for. You can get a small enough tip and use it for laquer but it puts out so much material you have to...

    I would definitely try a different lacquer. I have been using ML Campbell Magna Max for a while now, and I am getting a great finish right off the gun. I am using the same tip you used, with the...

    I don't think anyone said it was a disadvantage to have a sliding table. The slider just is not all that good at the two operations you mentioned ( cope and door edges ). For general woodworking, i'm...

    A sliding table isn't very useful for door edges either. Unless they are narrow doors or drawer fronts, a sliding table would help keep the small pieces from diving into the cutter. A simple...

    The sliding table is not as good for cope cuts as you might think. For large stock like entry doors, its great, but for cabinet doors and short parts, it doesn't work as well. The sliding table is...

    I have a little different take on this. If you have the room, keep it. There is nothing better than having 2 shapers except for 3 or more shapers. If you can get 1K for it then it might be worth it,...

    I have rub bearings for most of my cutters. For nothing else, it makes setting the depth of your fence easy and accurate. Grizzly sells sets and individual bearings that are good quality and...

    I prefer Soft Maple to Poplar for paint grade work, especially if the price is close to the same as it is here. Poplar does not have as tight a grain as Maple, requiring more coats to get a good...

    I agree with Jim 100%. The ETS 150/3 is one of the best sanders out there. Smooth as silk and the dust collection is second to none. I do still use the ETS 125 for smaller things like face frames....

    I had one years ago, and like Mike's it would cycle in 1 to 2 seconds. To add to what Mike said, does the bit turn freely by hand? The older one didnt have an automatic oiler, and the air motor could...

    Hi Greg, I have been using the same saw you have ( with a 10.5' slider ) for the last 5 years. IMO, you are over complicating this, USE THE RIP FENCE. I still don't understand why people want to rip...
