I have the A3-31. It arrived very well aligned and I have had a little reason to do anything to adjust it in the 10 years I’ve owned it. It is used almost daily. The only thing I’ve done is turn the...

I also have the Supermax 25-50. My experience has been the opposite of yours . It is used a lot. It’s a good sander. I do a lot of bent lamination and it’s invaluable for that. It’s one of those...

Most of the cabinetry I do is of the furniture type so I don't use them. But, if I made kitchen and bathroom cabinets commercially I'm sure I would.

Whatever you buy, make certain that you will have adequate support nearby at a reasonable price. Felder/Hammer is noted for great equipment and lousy service at a VERY high price unless they have a...

Loose tenons. I use the Festool Domino but before that I created mortises on both sides with a router and jig.

I've had the Supermax 25-50 for about a year. It presumably works the same but is just a bit bigger. Overall I'm happy with it. The drum is mostly parallel, not perfect but enough that I don't...

I've used Sketchup free version for years. IT has a relatively easy learning curve but does have its limitations. I tried Fusion 360 and spent considerable time trying to learn it. It does have...

Another case where you are left just shaking your head and sarcastically asking What could possibly go wrong? Yikes.

The kind of slides you use will determine the manner with which they are attached. I used Pottker extension slides recently that open from a center pedestal to reveal hidden table extensions. These...

Thanks for the above responses. I have an Oneida system and it's pretty powerful. The dust collection barrel comes with an infrared sensor connected to a flashing red light. I should not have...

My dust collection pipes (4" and 6") are clearly clogged as the suction has become minimal. Some of these are 20' long with turns. What is the best way you've found to clean out you pipes?
Thanks

Autodesk Fusion 360 can do lots more than Sketchup. BUT, at least for me, I found the learning curve MUCH steeper than for Sketchup. So much so that I have gone back to using Sketchup.

You've been given good advice above. I have the Laguna 14 SUV (about 9 years old and heavily used) and like it. Given the space and money I'd opt for a larger BS with a bigger motor and capable of...

For those actually making handcrafted furniture, the challenge is how to make the public understand the difference between nice looking furniture and well made furniture that will last. I recently...

Thanks. I ended up using the folded brown paper bag method. While it is not glass smooth, it left a very acceptable finish. And it was easy. And the grocery bag was free : ))

I am wondering what people using General finishes high performance spray are doing, if anything, after their last coat is dry. I’ve been using the satin finish. While it comes out pretty good it is...

I have the 25-50. There are two switches. One is the dial which turns the speed of the feed. If you turn it all the way to the left it turns off. The other is the flip switch in the front which...

Phillip, that is exactly what I'm looking for. The tabletop is 3/4" (Leopard wood). Will it fit that? It looks like it's designed for a thickness of 1 1/2".
Thanks.

I'm looking for a high quality, concealed hinge for a butterfly table extension leaf. Any suggestions for sources?

White oak cut into very thin laminations.
Agree that a rigid urea formaldehyde glue will be needed. Wear a good mask.
Also agree you’ll need to do this on a form with clamps.
Stain it.

Ditto on making the cabinet first. Same for doors. The one exception is when I make curved doors. Then I make the doors first and fit the front curve of the cabinet to the curve of the doors. But...

Thanks Phillip. I just called them and yes, they were extremely helpful.

Thanks for all the responses. This should be enough to go on. Poettker looks like what I'm looking for. Do their slides come with the hardware for the butterfly leaf?

I have been commissioned to build a dining table with extensions. I am looking for:
- A built in butterfly extension that can roll out from the end. Here is an example:...

Hinged two boards together and jointed them. Then added some self sticking sandpaper on the inside of both to avoid slippage. Clamp the two pieces of veneer between the hinged boards and run a hand...
