For the money, I would consider shop aids/carts for moving the ply sheets to the table saw. There are tilt table cart plans (and a commercial cart from Rockler) available to handle sheet goods on...

Like Brian, but use corner post of shelves.

Given the force required to advance even a very sharp hollow mortice chisel deep into hardwood, few drill presses have adequate leverage for the job.
Additionally, the DP table/column/head...
I got a 6" angle vise from a late friend of mine, but I don't know where he got it. I had assumed Harbor Freight, but they don't currently show anything like it online. It also has pivoting jaw...
Extension tables for the jointer infeed/outfeed are pretty simple to make, since those tables do not change height constantly between passes.
The planer table raises and lowers with the planing...
I don't have this model of J/P, so I'm largely going off the exploded parts diagrams (and the trouble-shooting guide) in a manual I found online.
Given the chains are jumping off their sprockets...
Over/under Jointer-Planers with an angled ways mechanism for jointer depth of cut (DoC) adjustment (as opposed to a parallelogram mechanism) require more room behind the machine for the jointer...
I'm just wondering if there is additional efficiency to be obtained if the intake and motor/impeller direction match that naturally occurring in storms/toilets in the hemisphere employed...
Of if...
Or just more evidence that illicit copying* is rampant in China.
*Often employing inferior materials and/or processes to maximize short-term profits.

I wonder what they do in the southern hemisphere; you know, since the toilets swirl backwards there. Probably the same with cyclonic separators and centrifugal blowers...

Regarding "great moisture resistance"...

The Incra Mast-R-Lift-II-R (the -R fits a Rockler-sized hole in the router table) uses steel throat inserts that are held in place magnetically. The Jessem version uses plastic inserts which twist to...
The tool may be overheating and shutting down on its own. If it is reasonably clean inside, it may be worn out (or brushes may be worn and need replacement.) Especially if the batteries still show...
Yeah, manuals for products produced in the far east are not known for completeness or accuracy. At least the grammar in both these manuals appears reasonable (rather than some translations from...
Do they say what series ER collets it accepts?
ER collets are very common in metalworking, especially milling, and CNC equipment, and are available for a wide variety of tool shank sizes (within...
Charles,
It looks like you've found a mistake on Nova's website. Like I said, the UL-required sticker on my machine states Full Load Amperage is 15A at 120VAC or 10A at 240VAC. Their manual does...
Charles,
The Voyager uses 2 more amps @240VAC than the PM uses @120VAC. The sticker on my Voyager lists Full Load Amps at 15/10 amps @120/240 VAC. That's compared to 8 amps @120VAC (per the...
The two pins may have been effectively shear pins to protect the blade (body) and shaft from damage in case of a mishap. If the shaft snaps, that blade becomes a wheel that's gonna crash/roll through...
Thanks for the informative summary!
One minor correction: the Voyager's selectable option for maximum allowable speed is a non-volatile setting (set once and forget), and does not change the...
Yes. Apparently we agree on something.

I'm a retired Electrical Engineer with 33 years' experience in circuit board design, fabrication and assembly. For manual work/rework, prototypes or small batch...
I too own a Nova Voyager DVR drill press, and am extremely happy with it. I purchased it before PM came out with their EVS drill press.
Nevertheless, I checked the PM out, and noticed some...
If the router lift plate is not too large for the task, you can always pull the router+lift/plate out of the table, and flip it upside down for hand-held use. My lift has a couple of columns that...
Lots of morose and tension joints have been fumed, with pleasing results.

The club I belong to provides simple front rests at most benches. They are made of a stack of 2x4's ~15", 10" and 5" long, giving you three different height ledges to rest the fore end upon. There's...
