Could you do this more easily with your Jointer?

Hey guys... I am looking at getting a small widebelt... 37 inches single phase 10 horse. I have 2 options... the Safety Speed Cut and the Shop Fox... Really I think I would pay more for a Powermatic...

Yes... How much are we looking for total and where are we so far?

Drew:rolleyes:

Yup... Festool... However... Makita is licensing festools smaller plunge cut saw it looks like...

Drew

Soooo.... what if I go ahead and just got a 37 inch wide belt and skipped the big planer... I could get the bandsaw later... The widebelt could do the same by abrasive planing for those projects my...

They have to sell to the unwashed masses (us) because most furniture making has moved overseas and it is so new to those factories that specking machinery to last 10 years with full time use is more...

Call them again... they have been moving for the past 3 weeks and are just getting back up and going...

I have a powermatic PJ-882 jointer, and a Sawstop so I am OK there... I don't have a big lathe... just a delta midilathe for bun feet etc... Just not that excited about turning I guess. If it becomes...

Have one... and a fire extinguisher...

I have a home shop... it is a hobby for me... I build a bookshelf or table about every 2 months. I am spoiled this way and I know it but I have a dewalt 735 planer, a delta 18 inch bandsaw (2 horse),...

I have it and use it pretty regularly... mostly works pretty well...

Drew

I am sure you have kept the tension down when not in use right?.. The other thing that might make such things fail really fast is O3... you dont have an Ozone generator in the shop do you:) I have a...

So I joined in August... Contributed I believe in September or October... and it is not yet 2008... so when does the "Creeks" calendar turn over... Not that I am complaining I contributed because it...

I am excited for you... I am in the process of trading my delta 18 inch bandsaw for a Extrema 24 inch with a 5 horse... it has one issue I am working to fix. It has some play in the bottom of the...

So... If we contributed we are in right!

Where on their site are you seeing this?

Drew

Sure... I laughed as well but woodworking is not his deal... Thus the reason we get the back scene look at his set up... I have a friend who is a dealer who won a trip back there in November to watch...

I love Norm... have watched him for years and last year finally built a 24 x 24 second garage so I could play Norm in real life. This is another fun Norm site... www.newwookiee.com :D

Is there a real difference in the noise with the tenru or is that a new blade?

Drew

OK, I went way back to find this thread... I have been thinking about a Tenru GP blade versus the WW2... any one have experience with both... what do you think?

Drew

I am with ya BAS... I am relatively new to this... I like to see the stuff... I would not buy any of it before asking a more experienced friend but it is fun to see. My first show was AWFS in Vegas...

Get the jointech... I got one and how cool is it to be able to calibrate your router bit height exactly every time through a project... you just zero it and then jot it down and keep it for the...

The reason nails are used in framing is they work better. The vinyl coated sinkers hold better and withstand more sheer stress than the screws will. The way they hold is obviously different but if...

well... costing too much more is relative... the saw will cost about double... but it lists at about triple. I love the idea of being able to re-saw logs I have saved.. I am wondering if I am gonna...

I have a great 18 inch bandsaw... It is a brand new Delta.... for not much more I can switch it out to an Extrema EB-24 with a 5 horse motor and a huge beefy frame. It is a 24 inch (yet still pretty...
