Like I tell the wife, "It's a lot cheaper than golf."

I can't be the only one that sees the humor in this...

Yes, DeWalt made some great RAS'es.

No, that is not one of them.

What you want to look for is one with a cast-iron arm, and a raising crank located at the top of the column (rather than on the...

You might want to try using a needle scaler. Great for getting into tight places for rust & paint removal. HF has one that's pretty cheap that's had pretty good reviews.

Seeing the look on my Daughter's face when I've completed a project for her. A 4 year old's smile is like no other.

I would:

- Write off the $138. I can't imagine this would be worth fixing.
- Make it a habit to turn off the compressor when not in the shop.
- Don't tell the wife what happened!

There's a listing on OWWM right now for the guard you're looking for - they are giving it away (literally).

I would shape the edge of a board with the profile you're after, then rip the piece to the desired width. Rinse and repeat.

My DeWalt MBC is absolutely the most accurate saw I have ever owned - spent an afternoon getting it dialed in, and now it can go from one position to another with dead-on accuracy. Used it yesterday...

No offense was taken, Glen. I think your post was a valuable one as it mentioned checking two levels against each other to verify straightness - this is something I will definitely do the next time...

Don't even consider a benchtop model. 6" jointers are only slightly rarer than Craftsman Radial Arm Saws on CL. I don't know how long you've been searching for a used one, but I can only wish I had...

Thanks for your input, Glen - as I stated, I said this was something I had heard but not verified. I also did not suggest that levels were not reversible - I said I had heard that some were designed...

... and a serious case of the munchies.

I've never checked this myself, but I have heard that many levels are intentionally built slightly with a slight concave edge - this is so when you place the level on the surface it reads primarily...

Keep in mind that Ridgid offers a free lifetime service agreement if you register your tool within a certain period of time (30 days?) - this agreement covers batteries, which are usually the first...

It likely is, but I bet you'd have a real hard time finding anyone who has had a (well-made) tenon cut with a dado stack fail on them. I know I haven't. I'd say as long as the pieces fit together...

1. Buy a bunch of magazines
2. Put them in racks/bins/etc. in a room
3. Have a cigar room (optional)

Radial Arm Saw.

Jointers are pretty simple machines - not much that can go wrong with them.

If you've got a good straightedge, take it with you and check the tables and fence with a set of feeler gauges. Check...

Hard to say without having more details on the Grizzly - there are simply too many different models out there. Things to consider:

- Age of jointer (newer is better - and this is coming from an...

I looked at the ad to confirm, and it's a Walker-Turner 1180. I've got one in pieces in my garage right now - it's getting paint next week.

I bought the saw because I was attracted to its lines -...

Thanks, Larry - I'll have to pick up some of the cleaner this weekend and give it a shot (pun not intended).

So can I use this without taking the router apart?

Thanks,
Scott, who loves to take stuff apart, but would rather not in this case...

Congratulations on your new arrival! I'm betting it's going to become your favorite child.

Make sure to get yourself a Mr. Sawdust book ASAP. You should also find a copy of Jon Eakes' "Fine Tuning...

Hi,

I posted this on another site but didn't get any info that would help solve my problem. Hope someone here can help!

I have a variable-speed Bosch Colt I picked up a couple of years ago and...
