Please count me in. Thanks!
Please count me in. Thanks to all involved!
Please include me. Thanks Grizzly!
I feel like living within 100 miles of a Grizzly store would be a very short term proposition. It might start out as living at the house and occasionally visiting the Grizzly store, but it would...
Just to add a bit to the safety advice Sam was giving because I think you might have missed part of his concern (and Sam, please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not trying to put words in your mouth):

The linked article is very funny.
I love Harbor Freight. They are great for tools you'll use only a few times and could therefore never justify the price of brand name.
Probably my best...
I have to wonder if that one may be made by Dewalt (entirely possible for the Craftsman Professional line). Comparing it to my DW618, it's handles appear to be the same shape, the "hood" over the...
I have the Dewalt DW618, and love it. I find it very comfortable to use free hand (light weight, comfortable grip, can easily reach the power switch without removing my hand from the handle). It...
I decided to keep the machine and accept the offered 10% discount.
I spoke to Shop Fox, and they told me that it isn't uncommon for a retailer to have a machine in inventory for several years, and...
I purchased a Shop Fox W1744S 12" jointer from a very reputable online retailer with whom I've had good previous experiences. The freight company who brought it towards the end of December was...
Thanks for the heads up, I just scored several of the $3.30 bench cookies. A couple sets remain at the Stockbridge, GA store.
Very interesting saw. Here is an article that describes it:

If it were me, I'd go for the $1000 one that isn't still "new in the box". Neither are going to have a warranty, and the "new in the box" one could have some unknown issue. If the used one checks...
Several have mentioned running 5" to the base cabinet of the saw. The port is 4" though. Does running a 5" hose with a reducer into a 4" port perform differently than running a 4" hose to the 4"...
I was using a 16 ounce hammer when I was 10. It always wore my arm out pretty quickly, but it seemed like the "kid size" hammers were useless.
My parents allowed me to use a power drill. I also...
I'm getting ready to order a shark guard, but am looking for input regarding what port size to order.

What material (cast iron, cast aluminum, steel, plastic, etc) is the top made of. This would affect the expectation of flatness.
From another thread, it looks like the classifieds forum is the correct place to ask a specific tool's value:
John,
Just out of curiosity, how long would you estimate the Woodslicer goes before it is too dull to resaw well. I probably will go with the Woodslicer, and am wondering what I might expect. I...
To all: Thanks for all the feedback and information.
Shiraz: Thank you very much for taking the time to clear this up. It was really nice of you to verify the table tilt feature. It looks like...
I do not know if this applies to all VISA cards or not, so check with your bank before assuming what I say is true for you:
In some cases, VISA credit card purchases automatically have lengthened...
I've been quite happy with my Whiteside flush trim bit (i believe it has two cutters, but I'm not in the shop right now). I have even used it to flush trim OSB sheathing around doorways and gotten a...
Van,
Are you saying the 514X2 does NOT have the better tilting setup (it looks to me in the picture like it does, but maybe I'm misunderstanding or maybe the picture is wrong)? I gather you are...
I've just about decided I do want to go with the 514 line. I'd like to be able to do a good bit of resawing and even milling of logs. I feel like the 3hp motor would be a nice thing to have, and I...
