Great place, and they're open on Sat. morning, unlike most lumberyards.

Ian,

Welcome.

Joatmon from AS.

I'm just a weekend hack that has a Delta contractors saw. I don't use it much because it's dangerous. I bought lots of EZ stuff and now my table saw is used very little. So, I'm wanting you to know...

Next to wedding day, birthday of children and grandchild, the day we installed LeafGuard gutters is tops.

YMMV depending on the number of leaves you have,

I'm a big fan of DIY! I can change my oil in less time than I can drive to and from the dealership. I always have plenty of filters and oil on hand. I'm always prepared in that regard.

After a...

I've had a Bosch 10" slider for years and am very pleased with it. I like the detents and the clamp that I find very handy. The original blade works very well.

I would also say that I disagree...

John,

Yep, that's the one. Just open the drain valve to allow things to seat. At least that's how I did my MAC 5200 last year and it's running fine.

Good luck,

Jack

Matt,

I move the panel to the table and lean it onto the table. Then, simply lift the bottom of the panel and push/slide it onto the table. It's really so simple and easy.

I've been cutting down lots of 4' X 8' plywood lately and the EZ Smart system is tops. May I make a few points?

1. The guide rails are straight and sturdy.
2. Little storage space required....

I have a Makita MAC 5200, 3 HP, 5.2 gal. and 6.5CFM @ 90PSI. I'm very pleased. I sold a larger compressor to free up space in my garage and have been very pleased. The smaller tank means that the...

I would agree that Bona Traffic is acknowledged to be the "best", but it's application is designed for a pro. If someone comes to SMC asking about floor covering products, they're probably not a pro....

I used Bona Mega on my office red oak floors that I installed 10 year ago. They still look great and they get a good workout.

Good luck,

Jack

Chris,

Call me stupid, but if Rockler had what you wanted at a good price within 15 miles, why are you trying to get a price match from a big box store?

Jack

Joe,

Well, not always possible. The "mom and pop" lumber stores I know close at 5:00 PM and are not open on Saturday. The local plywood dealer is now part of a small chain and they really don't...

I'll be the second person to chime in and say "What he said".

I'm a new EZ head so I'll attempt to answer this question. I have a DeWalt 364 and It does an amazing job with the EZ rails. I think any decent 6 1/2" or 7 1/4" circular saw with a 40 tooth Freud...

Thanks for all the advice! This is a very neat site and I hope to learn and contribute if at all possible,

Peace,

Jack

No need to dry fit, watch this ....

I ordered 3 blades when they first did the 20% off, about 2 weeks ago. They quoted an expected ship date about 5 weeks out. May be OK for some, but I just don't have that kind of patience.

I do this all the time and have not had a problem. I've got a 33 gallon tank on my Suburban, so 2 quarts of 40:1 mix leaves a full tank with about .04% of 2 stroke oil in it. Oh, and this 2 stroke...

I use lots of dados. While staining/finishing the components, I thought about inserting a temporary piece (cleat held in place w/ small screw) into the dado and removing it before glue-up. I also...

Don,

Thanks for your reply. I think I'll try that. I'm still brushing on the finish coat. I guess spraying is in my future. Time to search.

Jack

I'm finding glue stain hard to remove from plywood after my glue-ups. Would it make sense to stain, but not finish coat before glue-up? If so, will the glue remove easier from the stained wood than...

Thanks, you saved me from another mess.

Any product recommedations?

OK, first post, so be gentle.

I am building open cabinets / shelves that will hold childrens play articles for our chuch. They will see lots a abuse and I've noticed a cabinet built by someone...
