What?! You don't think in terms of 5/32" per turn? Why each 72 degree arc is 1/32" blade rise. What could be more obvious?

My shop uses Philips T-8 bulbs with a 98 CRI rating. They were expensive, but are worth it. Hummingbirds fly in and buzz the lights until they are turned off. There is an intangible "feel" to...
If you spend more time in the shop than in the bedroom, they might have a point about "habitable space".
Shouldn't be any problem that a good application of epoxy wouldn't fix in a year or two!
You got it! #1 is some concern, more so for AC than for heat. #2 depends on neighbors, normally. #3 is a low priority because the cyclones are very efficient. And you already live in dusty Texas!
There are plenty of ways to store completed cabinet boxes within a small home. One can become a slightly high coffee table. Four of them plus two interior doors make a nice, flat dining room table....
I've owned a mortising machine and the newer system using a hand drill, but the Mortice Pal is a step above either one. Joints are tight and the two wood pieces fit within several thousands of an...
It squeaks when the blade is raised and lowered. It is too heavy for a jobsite saw. And the inside is covered with sawdust. Other than that, I got nothing bad to say.
Screws are for people that don't own clamps.
Seriously, do a test and report back. Make three test pieces using a 90 degree butt joint just like your project. One with screws only, one with glue...
Thomas and Ian are correct. Therefore the performance will decrease. The shop vac remains the same in both cases. Adding a second cyclone adds pressure drop to the system. More pressure drop...
Currently applying Fastcap PVC edging over the top of the old ZCI. Anything thin will work with the appropriate adhesive.
Easy enough to test. Make a water manometer and fire up the DC. At zero flow, I'd bet that the two pressures would be about the same. One would be negative and one would be positive.
No practical difference in pushing or pulling. The fan boosts the air flow pressure from the inlet to the outlet. It can go from 0 psig inlet to 0.2 psig positive if the fan is at the front of the...
In high pressure systems, Ty is correct. It is more efficient to "push" the air than to "pull" it. The reason is that the air density changes as the pressure changes. In low pressure systems, like...
From experience, multiple cut staples and pin nails will not fire the brake. Wet, sappy 2x4 wood will not fire the brake. Wet treated lumber will fire the brake. Contact with metal hold downs and...
I have used the Incra System to dovetail 18" wide case sides.
And would recommend that you get the Leigh system.
Outside venting solves so many problems. An easy way to address the heat loss problem is through a "directional intake vent". The incoming cold air is directed toward the tool where it flows back...
Dan, if you already own a 1.5-2hp dust collector, then it makes no appreciable difference. Any 4" section will limit the total flow. 6" line keeps the pressure drop low, but the small DC impellers...
Changes in moisture and humidity cause the plywood to move. Vertical storage works fine. Keep an air gap on both sides, store it along an inside wall or put a moisture barrier between the plywood...
One bench has square dog holes. The other bench has round holes. The round holes allow the dog to be rotated to fit slightly angled boards. This is a real advantage in my opinion. The square dogs...

No idea how to delete the attached thumbnail dresser picture.
Paper towels and rags can get wrapped up in the impeller and throw the fan off balance. Other than that, if the DC can move it, up it goes.
I've never adjusted my outfeed jointer table. Using a dial gauge, set each knife level and about 0.002" higher than the outfeed table. Easier to say than to do. The dial gauge makes it easy to find...
Here is a link where I upgrade my Sawstop to a 6" port.

This thread makes me appreciate not having a final dust filter/canister. Using Alan's setup and external venting, I know the bag needs changing when chips start floating by the window.
