+1 on the Harborfreight. I bought a Dremel lookalike from them a year ago. Has 4 speeds. I have used it a lot, and it has hung in there. Cost around $20.

Curt, thanks for your suggestion. It isw something to consider.
My cat has developed the habit of scratching the two cabinet doors underneath the sink. He does this because he: wants to be fed, given a treat, scratched, or generally paid attention to.

I have a goodly number of chisels and hand planes. Like them and use them. However, there are times when a power tool is appropriate. When I finished my workbench, I used a router sled to flatten. As...
I like the belt sander with coarse grit 1st. Take it outside and get most of it off. Doesn't have to be perfect. Then the jointer. Absolutely use a metal detector. I also use a wire brush on...
I continue to be amazed at the tangents folks go off on after the original poster has asked a question, namely, keep the #5 in the box and send it back? My reply is yes.
Too bad you left out Ridgid orange.
After reading all the reviews I could find, I bought the #452 Makita. I have had it a few weeks, and am very satisfied with it. The Milwaukee was a close 2nd in the reviews. I have several...
What basement. Down here in Florida its not an option.
I have a clearvue mini that I bought a year ago, and it is one of the few items in my shop that not only works as good as advertised, but better.
I suspect Oneida's actions had something to do...
I sharpen my jointer blades with a shopmade jig. Does a great job. My planer knives, 12", are a bit much for a jig.
Consider Dynamic Saw in Buffalo. I have used them, they do a great job, and...
If you do decide to go to the show at Peach State, you may want to visit their website, www.peachstatelumber.com, before you go. They have a nice selection of hardwoods.
Go to devilbissparts.com, as devilbiss may have made your snap on compressor. They have a toll free number. Give them a call, if they don't have your parts, I bet they can point you in the right...
I too have a 3660. First I got a ZCI. There are several supplier sites which carry them.
I got a Forrest WWII, with the 1/8" kerf. I found that the splitter was pretty thick, and the 1/8 helps...
Several have mentioned using a belt sander. I too have done this on several soles, and have had good results. I have a 6X48 sander, and use a 320 grit belt. A note of caution: Do not hold it on...
I made a jig for my jointer blades, and use the scary sharp method. Works great. Since the blades on my planer are indexed, I am leery of using a sharpening method which might cause the width of...
square drive is good, but for my money the best is star(or torx) drive.
Last year I purchased a Ridgid jointer and table saw. I already had a dedicated 220v line to my shop for my compressor, so I converted both to 220. I knew it wouldn't make the tools more...
I use a 20 gal Craftsman shopvac on my Delta planer and Ridgid jointer. I got tired of the filter clogging up quickly, so I got a Clearvue mini cyclone. Its one of the best investments I ever made....
What are you looking for? More open/working time? I have used a glue from Lee Valley, 2002GF, which has an open time of 15-18 minutes, as opposed to Titebond of around 8 minutes. It behaves the...
Whichever one you buy, there is an item to consider. Most come with a point. If you are going to use it to adjust jointer or planer blades, make sure you get a button end as well. The tips just...
In reply to your original question, go the the Lee Valley website, and look under adhesives/glue. You will find 2002GF adhesive. Has a 15-18 minute work time, compared to Titebond's 8 minutes. I...
Get Jorgensen hold down clamps from Peachtree Woodworking Supply. They are USA made, from a long-time reputable company, and won't shatter after one or two hammer hits.
Al, I think you made a smart move. I think you will find that your new router has soft start, and speed control, which on mine is a dial close to the top. The instruction booklet(s) with the unit...
I have the similar Craftsman plunge/fixed base combo, but I bought the 11amp with variable speed. I like the tool, especially the depth of cut adjustment.
If you haven't used it yet, I would...
