I always look for tools that have decent boxes. It keeps the tools safe, clean, and most of the time all parts together when not being used.

I realize this is a "DUST" guard, but I think I would try to find something more shatter resistant that plexiglass just for that one in a million. Polycarbonate or Lexan maybe.

I like to use Torx head if the screws are large enough. That winds up being mostly for the construction like a deck or something. Also for regular woodworking if I can find them. If not available,...
My saw has 52" rails and I would really miss the length. I do use the entire table top sometimes for things other than sawing at times. for example, we just had our kitchen cabinets refaced, but...
I recently had quartz countertops installed in my kitchen. The hole for the sink was cut on-site using a die grinder with diamond wheel. I still have the cut-out piece and when I find a good...
Personally, I think you are ok with the size of the hole being a little larger that the largest bit you will EVER use. As for the inserts, I have not looked at many lately, but all I have seen have...
Because . . . LASER! :D

Sounds like you found a great mate, but how much is this great birthday celebration gonna cost YOU. :D New bedroom suite? New entertainment center? All of the above?

I have a fiberglass ladder that I use when I need to get to my second story. The only problem is that now that I am over 70 it is getting a lot heavier.

This is nothing like the procedure that came with my drill press. I might have to give this a try to see if I can get it working better.

Fusion 360 is free to start-ups making less than 100K per year, or a hobbyist for not for profit use.

This tells me that you really are NOT finished yet. :D:D Bottom line though . . . a spectacular piece of work that will yield some spectacular viewing!

I bought one of these a couple of years ago. Home Depot had it on sale for a New Years day sale. Price was just under $1000 and delivery would have been added on to that. I went across the street...
Ingenious, but sure seems like a lot of work for an old Craftsman contractor saw.

Stevo -
Go to the Fusion 360 website and look for the "Free Trial" link. When you get there, reference the screenshot for info.
Hope this helps,

I had an old Craftsman table saw that I made new rails for. I just went to a local metal supplier and bought matching "square" tubing and angle iron (longer, of course). I even impressed myself at...
Just one thing about Fusion 360. Many people who look into Fusion 360 think that it costs money to use. You can install the free trial and use it for a month and then AutoDesk wants you to...
I have also had similar problems with the big orange box screws. I don't buy screws from either box store unless I have no other choice, or time is a factor. I like McFeely's and buy either square...
I want one!!!!
That can EASILY be arranged. My wife says I still act like one. :-)

I have a cheap one I bought from HF years ago that has been working perfectly, and I use it quite a lot. Even on steel. When I bought it, I expected maybe three or four strikes and it would be...
HO . . . LY . . .
I'm over 70 but can I be your nephew? Wow.

Assuming you bought the same model again, keep all important parts that survived as spares. Motor, arbor, belts, etc. Scrap the rest.

You know if you are a wood turner if . . . when your WIFE sees a fallen tree and asks what you could make for her with it.
