I have used the rip fence for this with mixed results.
The Incra miter sled works great until you get to the last couple of cuts, as the OP said.
I think a shop-built miter sled with support on...
Great property! Welcome to our neck of the woods Mitch. You will love it. :)
Scroll on down to one of the later posts in that thread and you will find a link that works. :)
That is waaaay cool! Thanks. :):):):):)
Thanks Brad.
The question of design is a tricky one (at least for me). The first ones were based on Marc S's video. Then on number 4 or so I glued the wood in the wrong order on the frist glue up...
The heat of summer keeps me from spending long hours in the shop, so I looked for some smaller projects to work on and decided on cutting boards. The first few were long grain, then I tried end...
That's right off the Venture Capitalist 101 crib sheet. :D You mean, of course, that you HOPE the company will make a market in the new product or service and you accept or decline the risk based on...
That's because it is not price-fixing. It is price maintenance. For price-fixing you need more than one company.
Festool has plenty of competition at all price points, so there is no...
What he said. :)
I live in Greenville. What do you want to know? It's a great place to live. Vibrant downtown, good healthcare facilities, reasonable cost of living, decent housing prices.
It has been...
Thanks guys. And I never took your remarks as a criticism and even if I had, good criticism helps us get better. :)
But it reminded me that this woodworking "stuff" is a complex endeavor which...
John and Brent,
Thanks. You are right, not everyone likes the mixed woods below. But SWMBO is really taken with Ambrosia maple (and I got some really good figured boards) so, there ya go....
It seems that every WWer passes through a stage when he/she simply must make a hall table, even if they don't have a hall. :D
So here is mine. Ambrosia maple and cherry. Finished with a shellac...
I am not au fait with current rifle models, but I certainly endorse the single-shot recommendations. It teaches that every shot counts and gets you in the habit of looking in the chamber.
When I...
To repeat an earlier post, these are NOT Festool products. Merely being sold by a Festo dealer.
The rare earth magnet on a telescoping rod. Great for locating the screw that falls into "nowhere" and the occasional TS arbor nut that falls into the cabinet. :o
Mitch,
I live in Greenville SC and grew up around here. Mountain views are no problem in Western NC :D Do you want to live on one as well?
The Hendersonville, Flat Rock area is quite nice....
I am absolutely certain there are other choices besides ShopSmith. Google it. ;):D
Follow up post. Thanks Cliff and Bill. Was able to get them out using a combination of screw extractors and the cold chisel technique. :mad::)
Now if I can get it all back together again with no...
Triton was purchased a year or two ago by General Machinery Company (GMC). GMC filed for bankruptcy protection under the Australian equivalent of our Chapter 11. The Triton brand may well survive as...
Triton the company is in bankruptcy. If you can find them, get 'em. :)
OK dang it. I am pretty happy with my Ridgid 4330 planer but it is time to flip the blades. Lo and behold I was only able to get all the machine screws loose on one blade. On the others, two or three...

We like to keep ours out on the counter, so I made this one. Must try a drawer one though.
