I have a 735. I don't have the tables for it. I usually either hand-feed the boards in and catch them coming out, or use some roller stands to assist. I get very modest snipe, if any at all. What...
Congratulations, John! You will love those machines!
Yes, I agree with Jason's estimate of 20-25 seconds. Those big wheels have a lot of inertia in them and they spin freely for quite a while. A brake would be nice to have on this unit.
Same here. I know a bunch of us bought 513x2's during the MS cashback peak. I wonder if there is some type of retrofit possible?
Thanks, James! I enjoyed making them, and will probably make another batch, since people who saw them at Christmas, but didn't receive one placed "orders" for me to make more.. :o
Yeah, I agree that things looked different back then, and the financial picture was different back then. It will be interesting to watch what happens with pricing and discounts over the next year...
For wall bench space I used unfinished cabinets from Lowes and countertop material. Three six foot sections for 18' of space. Fast and fairly cheap. Then I built a Roubo style workbench. Here's a...
I use a combination of standard plastic safety glasses from Woodcraft, and reading glasses when I need to see up close.
Wow, there are some beautiful pieces on here! I'm pretty new at this, so my work doesn't yet compare, but I made up six cutting boards using The Wood Whisperer's design. They came out pretty good,...
Since it is relevant to this thread, I'll quote Shiraz:
Shiraz Balolia posted here a couple months ago letting us know that costs have gone up and therefore prices would be going up for 2009. That news, tied with the MS cashback incentive moved a bunch...
I'm visiting Colorado (we lived in Fort Collins for 10 years, and have family here), so I'll hit up Sears Trostel in Fort Collins, and probably Woodcraft in Loveland. No shop time here though. :(

Wow, I can't believe this list either! My wife and I decided to forgo presents for each other this year (although at the last minute I snuck a gift card to the spa under the tree for her), since our...
What a wonderful gift, Dave. Congratulations on having such a wonderful and loving family. I don't have the skills or experience to begin to make a real contribution as to what should become of...
I have a set of the "Pittsburg" :rolleyes: metric open end wrenches. They are fine. I also have this electric hoist:

That's beautiful. I'd love to have a big enough shop to hold that jointer, although if I was able to acquire one like that, I'd sure find the room!
I'm in please! Thanks!
Paul, I think you made the right choice. In fact my JFM-5 just showed up today! :D I bought it because it's a steal at the price. I was going to buy a bench top mortiser, but when this became...
:eek::eek::eek: :confused:
John, that is really a superb piece. Great work. That is so far beyond my current abilities that I can offer no constructive comment at all - just offering my praise and appreciation. Nice job.
That's not correct. Riving knives differ from splitters in that they ride up and down with the blade, and are independent from other blade guards or dust collector components.
Wow, nice haul! That's fantastic! I just spent about $ 150 on 30 bf of walnut and hard maple.. Yeesh.. :confused:
Tim,
Isn't all Festool pricing the same? If so, why not buy from your favorite dealer?
Another very helpful review, Jim. Thank you!
