Hi Nick, I have a larger Graco Airless I use to spray paint. Which is really what it is intended for. You can get a small enough tip and use it for laquer but it puts out so much material you have to...
I would definitely try a different lacquer. I have been using ML Campbell Magna Max for a while now, and I am getting a great finish right off the gun. I am using the same tip you used, with the...
I don't think anyone said it was a disadvantage to have a sliding table. The slider just is not all that good at the two operations you mentioned ( cope and door edges ). For general woodworking, i'm...
A sliding table isn't very useful for door edges either. Unless they are narrow doors or drawer fronts, a sliding table would help keep the small pieces from diving into the cutter. A simple...
Hi Jim,
Yeah, definitely lesser machines, Jet, Powermatic, Grizzly and Shop Fox. I use them on 10 to 20 hours a week, and they have held up fine.
Im not trying to talk you out of the nicer...
The sliding table is not as good for cope cuts as you might think. For large stock like entry doors, its great, but for cabinet doors and short parts, it doesn't work as well. The sliding table is...
Hi Jonathon, I haven't used that fence system, but I do have a couple of their Pro-Scales, and they are quality pieces. I am in the same boat as you, I'm trying to come up with table/fence system for...
I have a little different take on this. If you have the room, keep it. There is nothing better than having 2 shapers except for 3 or more shapers. If you can get 1K for it then it might be worth it,...
I have rub bearings for most of my cutters. For nothing else, it makes setting the depth of your fence easy and accurate. Grizzly sells sets and individual bearings that are good quality and...
I prefer Soft Maple to Poplar for paint grade work, especially if the price is close to the same as it is here. Poplar does not have as tight a grain as Maple, requiring more coats to get a good...
The Hammer blades are not the best quality. I had Forrest re bore my WWII's and Freud blades I had left over from the cabinet saw. I also have some of the Felder blades and they are better quality...
I agree with Jim 100%. The ETS 150/3 is one of the best sanders out there. Smooth as silk and the dust collection is second to none. I do still use the ETS 125 for smaller things like face frames....
Hi Jake, Im a cabinetmaker, its all I build. You said you can work on it 1 to 2 hours a day. I can tell you I have on average 150 hours in a kitchen start to finish. My part time guy will have 50 to...
I had one years ago, and like Mike's it would cycle in 1 to 2 seconds. To add to what Mike said, does the bit turn freely by hand? The older one didnt have an automatic oiler, and the air motor could...
Congratulations JR, looks like a great setup with the Tiger Stop. Are you useing the factory blade?
You are right Jeff. For some reason I was thinking it was 15% and 30%.
The ones I get are always the same as the ones they have listed on their homepage. It was 45% off and free shipping on most items in December. Now its just 30% off, and no free shipping. They seem...
Hi Greg, I have been using the same saw you have ( with a 10.5' slider ) for the last 5 years. IMO, you are over complicating this, USE THE RIP FENCE. I still don't understand why people want to rip...
The Stinger II looks great Keith. Thanks for taking the time to answer some of my questions in the PM i sent you. From all my research, it seems to be by far the biggest bang for the buck, and...
I would almost bet the problem is to thick of coats, or not letting each coat completly dry before appling the next coat.
I really do fill your pain, I have tried for years to use WB ( probably...
I spray waterbased only in my system. If I did have to switch over for a certain job I would have to give it a good cleaning, to much work to switch back and forth many times. It is easy to flush the...
I have had a Kremlin 10 25 for about a year now. It is an amazing system. The gun is so small and light, you can use it all day. I would not want to go back to my turbine or cup guns.
Its like...
Hi Craig, they are pretty easy to install. http://www.proscale.com/products/wwmachinerypics.htm These are pictures of sanders that have had the Proscales mounted to them. If you dont want to...
The first thing I would do is install a digital readout. I think Proscales are about the best, if you want something cheaper, buy a Wixey DRO. Keep a set of calipers on top of the sander, measure...
