I've done a lot of climb cutting on the router table and on the table saw, and always with a power feeder.
I believe those are made by Master. It's considered to be on of the best heavy duty heat guns. I have an identical model that was sold by Bosch 20 years ago, I don't know if they still have them...
I did plastic fabrication work for a while and the shop had a beam saw similar to that. It had a blade that was 30 or 36" in diameter. It worked great on 1" polypropylene.
If you put a blade on it, you'd like it even better. Very nice bandsaw though.
I used an Omni jig for several years. It was a very easy to use design. My only real complaint was the dovetail spacing. The manual or video claimed that it was 7/8", when it was really 57/64". I gor...
One thing that I really like with a keyless chuck is a spindle lock when the drill is off.
Wow, beautiful machines.
Another option would be to make the frame solid. Route out the picture pocket.
I used to make a lot of melamine cabinets and shelving. Any chip out was a failure for me. I tried melamine specific blades and I also had an add on scoring blade for my Unisaw. The most reliable...
Don't bother with the one in Ogdensburg, NY, I tried that once many years ago. It's only a shipping location.
I have an old metal one with a barrel grip and a toggle switch for on and off. Like Jesse said, it gets very hot. It also has no power. It looks cool though.
Many years ago a William Lego had an article in Fine Woodworking about building a base and edge planing guides for lunch box planers. I built the base and guides for my Ryobi AP-10 and while the base...
Many years ago I worked in a shop with a 24" radial arm saw. I hated running it because after you turned it off, it was still spinning an hour later.
I'll bark out that good multi layered plywood will out last MDF. The plywood is harder. And for big templates, it's also a lot lighter. I have many templates of both materials. The ones that are...
I gotta call BS on this, Baltic Birch or Apple Ply make excellent template material.
I have always just sent a sacrificial chaser board behind the good board. Any scrap will work for the chaser.
I have a M.E.G. shelf pin guide that works very well. It's probably more $ than most want to spend though.

What measuring device are you using to accurately measure 14" with a 0.0004" resolution?
I have a Lee Valley trammel set that I purchased when they first came out, maybe ~20 years ago. It's well made and has been very useful on the rare occasion that I need it.
Nice buy. I use a 12 year old 6" Jet at work, and I have a 20 year old DJ-20. A huge difference between the two.
I have a very trashed cheap Skil (was used to trim drywall) and a cheap Craftsman among my many routers. They really aren't worth using except on very rare occasions. I also have a very old...
Use clamps pads. Many years ago I glued some 1/16" cork to 1/4" smooth both sides hardboard. I then cut this into 1.5" squares. I still have a dozen of these to use a clamps pads on any surface I...
The directions with my Norton flattening stone state that it needs to be periodically flattened itself. I usually flatten my 220 water stone and use it to flatten the other stones.
Flatness is...
I have a 4" Starrett that I bought new around 10 years ago. Out of the dozen's of squares that I have, the Starrett is one of the least accurate. I still use it a lot for marking though.
