Has anyone had any experience good/bad with one of these?

I know where I can get one and was curious if it was a good useful tool...

I have been trying to adjust my jointer now for 2 nights with the same results. It takes more off of the fence side of the piece and with multiple passes is very noticable. I went thru it last night...

Erech, those clamps are just the item I need to make one of my prototypes work. Thanks

Curt, I found this out by mistake on my last extension and I do understand about the TS and the router if I...

I recently finished adding my router lift to the extension table on my TS and am wanting a router fence that will somehow incorporate the saws fence (Jet Xacta). Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Paul

Thanks to all who replied, I found a fair deal (to me) on some 5/4 soft Maple at $1.50/bf so I'm going with that.

Thanks again,
Paul

Jim, you're right I call it poplar but write popular. I will have to get it from a source in NC since none of the local mills cut any of it around here.

Paul

Thanks for the input. Popular is, well not that popular here in S. Carolina. Pine, now that's another thing. I can get loads of Pine, but felt like Popular would be the better choice and would mill...

I'm planning on starting a bedroom suite shortly and was wondering what the best material to make the drawer insides out of might be. I am leaning towards popular but won't rule out any suggestions....

Problem solved, the flange washer (nut side) was concave only slightly, so when I did tighten the nut it was collapsing to the blade. I tapped (okay, wailed) the washer a few times with a hammer and...

Thanks for all the responses. The cupped washer is the same diameter as the arbor flange and is still cupped. I understand the principal of what should be happening, that is one reason I tried the...

I recently bought a Jet TS and upon getting the blade aligned to the miter slot and fence to it I noticed that the blade is cupped in the center. I made sure that I didn't crank down on it when I...

What is the best way to set-up and cut box joints when there is a 10 degree angle on the ends of the pices you are trying to joint?

I know that my blade is farther to the left at the back than at the front, by a slight amount (sorry no fancy micrometers, just a combo square and the miter slots). I know you're thinking "so fix it...

Lee,
You are dead on with that. I also make a lot of cutting boards and by the time I glue them I can't keep them perfectlly aligned, thus the need for the planer, and I would like to make some...

First,
Thanks for all the replies.

I am located in South Carolina, sorry I thought it was listed.

As for the BS and dust collection, I have that, although a nice big cyclone would be a...

- Anthony, I understand exactly what you are saying, but I could never get the board dead flat with just the planer as I had it for 6 months before a jointer.

- Keith, I have been looking at that...

I am now ready to buy/upgrade to some new tools. I have gotten rid of my TS, Planer and Jointer died. I'm sure this going to stir the pot but I would like some recommendations on each. Used would be...

Thanks for the input on this. I think I will give one a try.

I recently did a similar top on my Delta 14" and used a piece of laminated MDF that I had left over. Its been working fine! I do like the Kreg fence, but was too tight to get one:D

Paul

Thinking about getting either the Colt or the PC310 and was wondering what's the biggest bit I would be able to safely use in one (w/ VS)? Can they cut with say a 3/4" straight or cove bit? What...

Thanks for the responses. I think I'll just leave well enough alone and have a spare if my TS motor blows up...or wait, I could mount it piggyback to my TS motor have a 3hp motor, nah never work:(

I have a Delta 14" BS with a 3/4hp motor turning 1750rpms. I also have a 1-1/2hp motor turning at 3450rpms. Would it be worth it to change the 3/4hp to the 1-1/2hp? If I changed the pulley on the BS...

I'm sure its been asked before but I couldn't find anything on it.

Which would you rather have a radial arm saw or a sliding compound miter saw?

Thanks

Okay I'll answer in order of response:

Todd - Any suggestions on another brand, I did try some Olympic on another piece but didn't like the results.

Steve - Thanks, I'll have to practice that...

I'm ready to stain a Hall Tree made of Red Oak and am looking for a dark stain without a "redish" tint to it, i.e. Mahogany, English Chestnut etc. I have tested Minwax Dark Walnut which gets close to...
