    WTB: Tite-mark marking gauge

    As the title states - looking to buy a tite-mark marking gauge. Can obviously order a new one if it comes to that, but figured I’d see if anyone has a used one that they’d like to move along....

    Can you fill me in on the advantages of modern technology in a jointer? I'm not trying to be argumentative, but straight knives can give a pretty darn good finish on a jointer and I've never...

    Festool 125 paper?

    I currently own a Festool 150/5 that I've grown fond of using, but in an effort to have something a little milder for the final finish and between coat sanding, I order a 125 eq.

    I use Rubin 2...

    My guess is that you won't be able to make the motor swap without at least modifying the mount and the pulley. The frame size on my Ekstrom Carlson 162 is a non-standard one and is specially balanced...

    How has that 10-15% limit worked out for you?...

    How has that 10-15% limit worked out for you? That just seems unrealistically low, but there's not a price point where I'd be interested in a Grizzly/Jet/other import machine when buying used so I...

    So a business owner is obligated to sell his product at cost and not a penny more? What would you consider to be a fair monthly profit? I doubt any of these guys are getting rich selling memberships,...

    I have no care or concern for the plight of these planes, but if Greg were not an established poster here and elsewhere I would almost think the post was intended to be a hand tool version of an...

    Lock miter with a secondary wood core. It's a little setup-intensive, but it's a great way to get face grain all the way around. I did this with a bed made from quartersawn Sapele -- cut a single...

    Many folks will malign you for considering purchasing one instead of making it yourself, but if you have the funds I don't think you'd go wrong with the Infinity.

    Metal cutting blade on a band saw using a miter gauge and stop block? Not sure if that would be a perfect solution, but it's probably where I'd start.

    It's easy to make a snarky comment, but sometimes MDF is a reasonable choice even in an old home. Keep in mind that the original builders had access to old growth pine that was far more stable than...

    Junk...wouldn't allow someone to pay me to put it in the shop. Save your pennies and diligently watch craigslist and other sources. A decent older Delta or Powermatic will pop up and it will be an...

    For what it's worth, I'd narrow it to North American made and start from there. The General (non-international) are pretty well-regarded, but I'd lean towards the Powermatic 66 or the Unisaw if...

    My experience with the Makita Li-Ion tools has been that the small batteries are sketchy (have had three die in the five years I've owned mine), but the larger batteries are fantastic in both...

    The Osborne has been fantastic for me. The miter settings are very accurate -- improved the accuracy/tightness of my miter cuts to the point where I sold off my sliding miter saw.

    I've had good luck with a Wagner -- it was left behind by the previous owner of our old house and we've put it to good use over the years.

    I'll be going to the show on Saturday. The last one I attended wasn't the greatest, but it's kind of a catch 22 situation. Everyone not going due to bad past experiences won't encourage them to...

    Perhaps I'm oversimplifying, but the general consensus on the Akeda is that it's very simple to use and doesn't require a complicated setup each time to produce quality dovetails. This is in contrast...
