Funny, I had the same issue with my M12v2 big plunge router earlier this year. This thing is over 10 years old. Had to take it in. $125.00, and 8 WEEKS later (evidentally Hitachi isn't so good at...

I picked up an 80 tooth plywood blade around 20 dollars. They are an absolute steal...

Gosh, great question. I went the new route and bought a dovetail and carcass saw from Ed at Medallion Saws. I have been extremely happy. The current manufacturers of new saws are just as good as...

Just let me warn you...I go through Timber on a monthly basis, and there are no bargins to be found there! That being said, I have never found anything that I needed badly enough to start...

John,

I appreciate your anxiety over buying a table saw. I went through the same thing three years ago. I am a home woodworking (ready hobbiest) and I had been using a craftsman like some you...

Well, that is really pretty. I guess you beat me to the punch. I started looking for corrogated type 11's in January. I have them from 3 to 8, incluing the 5 1/2. I guess i will have to get some...

Are you stealth gloating with that LV BUH and saw on the side there?

Seriously, is that mdf for the body? What are the trim pieces?

I am looking to replace my stanley type 11 #4, 5.5 and 8 planes with new blades. I see that the Hock blades are on sale at Craftsman Studio. I see that the A2 Hock blade is still more expensive on...

I understand. I bought my third #5 plane this week. It was a pretty nice type 11, but really, my third 5! The sad think is it's my second type 11 #5. Now I guess I am going to start collecting non...

As Jim said, the plane you are looking at is a mix and match of parts. It is also NOT a bedrock. The price, however is good, considering. I am in the process of aquiring some hand planes myself. I...

Jim,

I know about the lever cap. I am debating if I shoud spend the 15 to 25 dollars to get a type appropriate cap. Does that make me obsessive compulsive? I thought trying to build a set of...

I was looking for some type 11 planes, trying to build a good user set. I contacted Tablesaw Tom. He had a couple that I was interested in. He put them through the grinding process and cleaned and...

Sorry Jim,

I am talking about a number 6. Forgot to mention in the thread. So it sounds like the real keys are square sole to sides, really sharp blade, and possibly making a handle to keep...

OK, then one more question...I have a really nice type 16 that was given to me. With a little clean up, it could be as good as new. It has the lateral adjustment, the frog adjustment as well. Is this...

Sam,

I really appreciate your response. I have type 11 4, 5 1/2, 6, 7 and 8. I feel like I have most of my needs covered. The only reason for the 3 and 4 1/2 is the itch to have a set. Still, as...

I still think you will get a good value, and save at least $100. to $200. in the process by using Tom's services. You also have the opportunity to WORK with your plane. I can't disagree about the...

I will definately need to replace the iron in this plane. As a beginner with plane, I want to build a good user set. I have two type 11' s and would like to continue to build a set. I also have a lot...

Thanks for the feedback. I am in agreement with you. I put a 10.00 bid on it, and worst comes to worst, it's a parts plane, or I clean it up and try to sell again. If I do keep it I am planning on...

Just looking for opinions from the experts out there. I am interested in a type 10 #4 plane, but the mouth has a small chip.

Is this small enough to be fixed? Is this a parts...

Great stuff out there. I have all of my big power tools from CL The two best deals were a Delta 1993 2hp 12 inch RAS (the turret style) for $50.00 and a Kreg full sized router table with plate,...

I agree with most of the posts here. I would pass unless you had the time to look it over and test it out. I know it is fun to find a bargain, but make sure it's a good bargain. If you are really...

LOL!!! I agree with you on both points. They are supposed to be one of the best.

I disagree. If the jobs are there, people will get trained as soon as possible. China manufacturing didn't get cheap because they had a lot of trained labor that worked cheap, they had labor that...

Anyone get a 20% coupon recently? I thought I was connected but I haven't seen one in a while. I am looking to get a toolbox for my trailer and this would really help me out!

Any help is...

I am looking for a bigger planer and found a 15" lobo planer on sale on CL. I have never heard or used these tools before. Anyone give me some background on this type of tool, how they run and if...
