I got a D2058A originally for my PCS - but it wouldn't fit without cutting the rails, and it only had two swivel casters. After many hijinks, it's ended up as a mobile base for my outfeed/assembly...

Dang, timing really IS everything . . . I ordered my 10-347 in July, and it was already $3200 by then. It was delivered on December 24th . . . it killed me to order it after it had just gone up...
I recently got a 3hp pcs 36". I got the dado caetridge and zero clearance insert at the same time, as well as the route wing (and 7" cast iron "spacer"). One thing to consider - I got a grizzly...
Some of you may recall my post this summer about the difficulties in ordering a new 18" bandsaw given the pandemic's effect on the global supply chain and shipping. I made a joke about having bought...
I think the advantage of the 4" dust collection mentioned by another poster is that it's a floating guard, so there are no obstructions on the table (no pulling the guard for non-thru cuts, for...

Looks like we're having a party! Mine just arrived this week - will assemble this weekend. I went with the 36" PCS 3hp, too. I bought it through Woodcraft, and they called me a few days...
According to the in-store availability on their website, they have a few 14bx's available, but not any of the 18bx's. Were you actually in the store? Did they have 18bx's? I'm looking to move up...
Erik, I think that's excellent advice. I did order the Rikon back in July, and I suspect I'll just ride it out - it'll be a nice surprise when it does turn up. But if any group knew of a better plan...
I'm coming to grips with the fact that when i ordered a Rikon 10-347 back in early July, I actually was buying myself an Xmas present. Every couple of weeks, I get an email from Rockler bumping out...
That's just one of those mysteries. There are a very few differences on a schematic chart between the 780 Type 1 and 779 (other than the light), but there aren't more than a couple - and none seem...
You have two separate issues : (1) how do you glue-up a flat tabletop, and (b) how do you keep it flat :)
I made a dining table 42" wide - I ran the boards individually through the planer, but...
I have both - an old, cheap Skil sidewinder that's fine for many tasks, and a Makita wormdrive (hypoid gearing, I guess). I'v found that when rough trimming the ends of 5/4 or greater wood,...
As noted above, I suspect the value of the magazines is higher for less experienced woodworkers (of which I am one). I get FWW and Wood. Occasionally I'll pick up Woodcraft if I see it and it has...
It looks exactly like the Grizzly -- but I see $180 for the Yonico, verus $140 for the Grizzly version. What prices are you seeing?
Brett, what does shipping to Colorado run from those places? I've used Paxton's locally - the prices aren't great compared to the eastern sawmills, but it always looked like shipping would eat up...
I have the Steel City - there's a lot to like about it - big CI base, extendable supports, easy access to the bit/chisel. The only negative II have found is that the hold-down doesn't do a great...
Phil,
I haven't read through the entire thread, but one thing to remember is that a couple of the elite schools (Harvard and Princeton, for sure) have removed loans from their financial aid...
Stan, I think you'll be pretty fired up about any new cabinet saw :) I started with a BT3100 for 5 or 6 years, then had a CI contractor's saw for about a year until I lucked into a craftsman 22124...
Ahh. got it - thanks. Yeah, I thought the point about speed was strange, as I would imagine the saws are optimized for their respective blade diameters. And I think the horsepower chart is way off...
Perhaps more obvious to you than they were to me :) What did you think was erroneous?
I did the same as David with a 3 1/2" thick benchtop (2x4s on edge and planed, so maybe 3 1/4" ;p ) I used a framing square to mark out three rows evenly spaced down the bench (matching the holes...
I, too, strongly disagree with this. Chris, I'm going to assume that you are not simply trolling on this topic. I think that a number of posters, Phil and Michael in particular, have adequately...
I don't know where you are located, but around here, there's an organization that recycles building materials. When I built a shed, I went over there and bought a double-hung window for $25. I had...

To some degree, it depends how quickly you want to be done and how finicky, for lack of a better word, you are about your bench. My benchtop is simply 2x4s jointed and edge...
I got a Porter Cable 4212 list right beofre Xmas - about $150. It comes with a decent manual, both a dovetail and a striaght bit, and a bushing. It has the same limits as any of its ilk (fixed...
