I just got back from a road trip across town to buy a compressor. They did not have the MAC700 but did have the MAC2400. The 2400 was very nice and quiet,too. It is more compressor than I need and...

O.K. Now I'm looking at a Rolair FC1500.

I'm looking for a quiet air comp. I saw this 1.1hp 4 gal. twin stack hotdog oiled comp. at big box for $200. Does any one have this unit and can tell me how they like it? PC would not be my first...

The Grizzly 1183 says it is recomended for metal. it runs at twice the RPM of the 1276 that is recomended for wood - 2500 RPM vrs. 5000 RPM on the belt. Would you recomend the faster RPM? The Grizz...

I'm looking for a bench top belt/disc sander. The Rikon 50-120 ($410 - $500 ) looks good but one site that I read reviews gives it generaly positive reviews and another site gives almost all negitve...

Before and after. This is not a restoration, just a cleaning up to get it in working order. I flatened the sole, knocked the rust off of everything,sharpened the blade and sanded th black paint off...

Hi,

Thanks guys. I think I'm going to make 24 x 34 to make use of the plywood I have. Is soft maple too soft for runners?

I'm making my first cross cut sled and from what I've seen they are made in all different sizes. What is the most common size? I'm thinking 24" x 32".

I just set up my new R4512 ( my first table saw ). The stock insert is steel and very thin, 1/16". I was wondering what material other people were using to make a zero clearance insert for this saw....

I'm thinking Danish oil or boiled linseed oil/spar varnish/turpine mix that Schwarz recomends. If you are making the mix do you use gloss or satin spar varnish? The local borg has Cabots spar varnish...

I am building my first bench. It will be a mini Roubo (24" x 60") due to space. It will have a leg vice on the front and a Jorgy 10" vice on the end. The SYP top should finish at about 3 1/2" thick....

Thanks for all the info. From what I have read here I would pay the extra for the Jet.

The Rikon website says it is 1 1/2 hp. 230 volts ..... so this needs 220 power for a 1 1/2 hp?

I did notice one fit issue, where the legs attach to the ways was off a bit. Thats not a big deal especially at this price point. I did run the tail stock up to the drive point and they lined up...
