+1 Cutlist is awesome, and when my computer died completely, they showed me how to download the old version I had paid for then show me how to and activate it. Great product, great customer...

For starters......here is my initial review. Would I buy it again? Yes.
The Grripper is great on the jointer, too. I have four of them, two for the table saw and two for the jointer. I have become very comfortable with the hand-over-hand method. Grrippers give me a lot...
I bought that same Craftsman a year ago. It works great for furniture projects.
I'll go with you
After building my workbench from maple and ash, I put 3 coats of Briwax on. Every now and then I scrape off the old wax and replenish. Looks great, resists stains, and cleans easily.
Since I am trudging along in my garage-annex at 42F....I am envious of your near tropical starting point. I use infrared, but as Jim has mentioned it just heats "things" and not the entire room. If I...
Sorry, I assumed it would be filled since I always do.
I've had the Hitachi for just over a year, bought it when I had to remodel a rental unit. It is heavy. If I had to lug it from job site to job site, I'd consider something else. It's resided in my...
This is an outstanding suggestion! If you paint your unwanted oak a desireable color, I'll bet you can recover a significant portion of the $15k.
Hope all is well soon, and keep up the Led Zeppelin references!
The "lowest-bid" mentality couple with planned obsolescence is killing manufacturing worldwide.
I've had the EurekaZone EZSmart system for several years, and I love it's simplicity and performance. No need to repeat the cut on the table saw as it comes out perfectly every time. And it works on...
Let's be fair. A DeWalt drill is not as good as it once was, nor is Milwaukee, Porter-Cable, etc. I started woodworking as a hobby about 10 years ago, and have owned all brands from Grizzly to Delta...
"Built like a tank, drives like a coup" is one of the greatest tag lines ever!
I use a toothbrush to wipe away excess. If there is a lot of squeeze out, after removing the majority I'll dampen the brushhead, remove glue, then wipe the brushhead off with a paper towel and repeat...
I too am equally concerned about the light airborne stuff, and run a Hoover Air Purifier with HEPA ion/UV capability. No DC system is going to eliminate or capture all the airborne particles.
I bought the 13-gal "industrial" roll-around HF model with a one HP motor because it was listed at 660cfm and my Rikon J/P combo requires 650. In addition to the ear-rattling high-pitch noise the...
If your local library carries Woodsmith, just copy the pages from the above referenced issue. It's a great bench.
A new blade seems to have fixed the problem! What a shame the "old" blade, a 100-tooth Diablo, lasted less than a year and probably less than 100 cuts total. So I bought a General purpose blade and a...
Everything is true as true can be. Great suggestion, Glenn. Off to the local big box to get a new blade!
I'll be cleaning and re-aligning this afternoon.....Thank you all for the suggestions. I almost wish I had been dumb enough to put the blade in backwards..that's an easy fix!
Fortunately, it is not backwards...or I would have felt Uber dumb!
My 12 month-old Hitachi 12" SCMS requires 15 amps. I just plugged in to a socket with a 15 amp breaker at the main panel.
Virtually every cut is burning the wood, no matter how slowly I go,...
