    I ordered a 1/2" 105"Carter resaw blade from Amazon to fill out an order. It's not as smooth as my Woodslicer, but did OK. It was also $20 vs. $30 plus shipping for the Woodslicer.

    I bought that book a few years ago. Tons of invaluable material on the subject, but, to be honest, it puts me to sleep every time.

    I confess I'm also a tool addict. There's hardly a single item from Woodpeckers & Incra that I don't already own. Lee Valley calls me by my first name. I have more shop tools than room to use...

    I've seen a couple of 'shootouts' between different glues, and polyurethane did not fare well compared to PVA glues in wood joinery. Glueing dissimilar materials is poly's forte, but personally I...

    I went to one in Sacramento a few years ago, and came away feeling like a "chump" after spending $10 to get in and $5 for parking. Like someone else said here, it was nothing more than a "tent sale"...

    I have a Delta branded sander just about like the one you're talking about, and I'd hazard a guess that it's made in the same factory in China as most of the tools like it, but branded Delta,...

    FWIW, I just compared the Ridgid with the new Porter-Cable/Delta stand (at Lowe's), and consider the PC by far superior. They're pretty much the same price, too.

    I've got 2 of the Grip-Tites - they work well, but I think the MagSwitch's are superior. If they'd have been out first, I would have gone for them.
