    Keep us posted on the slot mortiser. We have an old Griggio and love it, but the price point is over the top, and used ones are pretty rare. I understand that Laguna is just a rebrander/reseller. ...

    We run the Freud Dial-a-width blade, 8", and even when using a 3/4" sled we "could" cut to 1-1/4" depth, or a bit more. However, when cutting deep, take it in a couple of passes as it is easy to...

    Router for Router Table

    We are considering changing our default router table router. We are currently running a Triton 2.25 hp model and recently burned one up. Literally. Our use may be too heavy for this unit.

    Welcome to SMC. The bandsaw looks like a PM 141. If so, it is an excellent scroller. Nice score.

    Both Bridge City and Sawstop are in Portland, and so I am guessing that the collaboration will soon be announced. But, to save the valuable handsaw, I am thinking the brake material will be...

    Shawn,
    A negative hook angle blade will reduce the tendency of a RAS or SCMS to self feed. I think this is the information you were looking for.

    Nice work! Are the drawer fronts veneered? What is the diameter of the cockbeading? Can you post a photo of the dovetails you chose for the drawers?
    Thanks.

    Peter,
    I see that you have acquired the Laguna slot mortiser. Can you now post a review? We use a Griggio, from about 1980 or so, and it is a solid machine, but is the old style, with an x-y-z-...

    CPeter,
    At PFW we have a Walker Turner branded (actually Delta) radial DP with the open leg, iron, Deco base. We have had a bit of trouble with it in terms of runout. I had the spindle re-turned...

    Jim,
    You have many questions! I'll tackle a couple.

    If a bench is to be used against a wall or at the back of a table saw (I am assuming perpendicular to the path of the blade), then the depth...

    Brad,
    I would be interested in the dates of your pricings. Our wholesale supplier was out of stock on 18mm BB as of late Nov.,and when we saw it in early Feb or so, it had increased in price to...

    Matt,
    I agree with you; rift is appropriate for leg stock. I often have to buy a wider plank of 12/4 stock, and then take rips off the outer edges to gain rift sawn, which is a bit wasteful, but...

    Cabriole legs are among my favorites. Smoothing them is not difficult. If you are talking about the curved portions, then rasps and files are excellent. I use a radius bottom Boggs spokeshave from...

    Ryan,
    Nice find and at a good price. You might consider keeping the little guy for scrolling if you have room. It is nice to have a large saw set up for resawing and joinery work, and a small one...

    We did a lot of this when we installed DC at PFW. Take a large regular screwdriver and hammer it into the pipe at an angle, using the corner of the screwdriver to cut a gash. Then use a jigsaw with...

    That will be helpful, but thin the glue with water about 15% or so, and let it tack up. Don't use too much. It is still not an ideal joint, of course, but this does help.

    Very nice work. Clean design and clean joinery. Thanks for posting.

    I did a bit of math, and it figured you paid about $3.91 U.S.D. per board foot for the walnut. That seems a good price...

    Frank,
    The smallest domino is about 1" or so wide and 5mm thick. For this to be effective, it needs to be turned on edge, so that the face of the domino is up and down, as Jamie drew. This means...

    Arturo,
    Just barely expose the bottom of the gullet, as others above say. The reason for this is to reduce the number of teeth in the stock at one time. Give a count both ways and you will see a...
