Hi Drew, I'd go with the sander, the 37" wide belt. From the little info you've given, I'd say that would be your best bet, but thats just me. Seems like you feel the same way though, so I'd say go...

Hi Drew, I'd go with the sander, the 37" wide belt. From the little info you've given, I'd say that would be your best bet, but thats just me. Seems like you feel the same way though, so I'd say go...
Haha, those were the days, but I feel the same way.
Dave, you do realize that those machines are monstrous right? As long as you have the place to put them though, I'd go with them considering...
So Jim as someone who owns a table saw and plans on getting a slider in the somewhat distant future, would you say that the MFT + TS75 combo is a good way to tide me over until the slider is in my...
Ray I am by no means a table saw expert and as I've said many times, I hate my table saw and frankly just wish I never bought one. But in my opinion, the single biggest mistake I made in choosing my...
Wow, I thought Jim posted this thread today, I was wondering why it took so long for him to actually get the MFT.:rolleyes:
Still Jim, like Richard, I am interested in buying the MFT and would...
Chris, as somebody who is just barely getting into professional woodworking, and who also owns a cabinet saw, Id say if you can afford it, get the slider.
You're helper may not always be there...
I hate my table saw. It runs fine and I use it every day, but I hate it. I'd punch it in the face if it had one.
Other than that, I am happy with ALL of my tool purchases and plan on staying that...
To Bill, if you saw them doing things in their videos that you can't do without modifications yes I think it is just fine to be disappointed as that IS misleading like as David M said and you have...
Well, I'd never suggest that you should not buy from anybody else, just that I appreciate them so much that I'll give them my business before I'll give it to anybody else if I am given the chance.
I'm not too knowledgeable about them big bandsaws and I am definitely not a Mini Max owner, but I've always thought that the big saws weren't meant for small blades in the first place. I've always...
Wow, thats great Mark, I know we haven't talked much, but I've always admired your work, whether woodworking or architecture. Very very cool. Congrats.
Wow, Graham that is simply awesome. I haven't dealt with everybody on the planet, but I'm sure that you are right. I have a great story that I've been meaning to post about Lee Valley as well. But I...
Art I think that is the best clamp storage mechanism I've seen. I hope you don't mind that I am going to use it now. :D
Thanks Chris, I really want one of those things.
So wait, one more question, I've seen some really awesome joint patterns that are made with the D4R, I'm pretty sure, can you do these with the...
So can the super jigs do anything that the D4R can't? I'm seriously considering getting me one of them. The D4R that is.
I voted 18-25, then realized that I am 27. :o
I cant say I'm shocked to see that most of you are older guys, since stuff like TVs, computers and video games weren't even around when you were...
I don't have a jointer, so I can't help you there, but I did buy the 50" straight edge and I'd say its worth the extra money. I'd also like to add that Lee Valley is a great company and they have...
Wow, I didn't think I'd see this topic floating around here ever again. This is a very touchy subject that almost always ends in a fight. Everybody has their views and nobody wants to back down.

That is interesting. I still plan on getting a domino, because I plan on using it a lot on smaller furniture, but it is nice to get a better idea of what its limitations are.
I'd still like to...
To Paul Simmel, thanks for making this thread. I have been clamping everything until I either couldn't get it any tighter or the project would start to bend. I will try loosening up a bit and see...
yeah you read that right. It's a lot of frickin' doors. He is only going to give me 32 to start though if he likes my price. He is building 280 houses with 8 doors a piece. I just finally got my shop...
I've been interested in a shop bot for a long time, since I plan on working with a lot of sheet goods, but I was wondering. Can it be used to replace a shaper as well? If so what other tools does it...
Hey guys, its been a long while since I been on these forums. Ive been really busy and I actually got some pics of a couple small jobs I finished, but I will have to post those later.
Anyway, I...
Ok I bought this bandsaw a year or 2 ago but it just got to me last week, at first glance the machine was a lot better than what I expected. I have to say that I am impressed with the overall quality...
Dave that desk looks awesome. Its probably the most creative computer desk I've seen, good work, I can't wait till you build it.
I only have one question. Are you going to be building a chair to...
