Well I have looked around and not found another used lathe for $100 or less that includes several gouges and other tools (forgot to mention that). I guess I also forgot to mention that the sears...

Know someone who is selling an older model sears 12 inch wood lathe (from the picture it looks like it has a round tube that the tool head runs on?). Would like to know from the folks here whether...

Yes picked it up last week for $250:). Could not run the board through the jointer as they did not have a 220V outlet in the garage where the jointer was being stored. Also the blades were shot. ...

Wow John talk about a KISS moment (keep it simple stupid). I didn't even think of that. Just put a piece in the truck to check it tomorrow.

well I will be checking it out tomorrow and taking a straight edge with me to check the table and fences. What other suggestions do you guys have to look for tomorrow? I will check to make sure it...

Agreed and I am going to check it out today however I just want to get a feel for whether or not this will be a good tool or a heavy paperweight:)

Thanks for the response Jerry. This is one of the images attached to the craigslist add.

I think it may be an import but wanted to see if anyone knew anymore about this tool before I take a look at it.

Noticed a Master Machinery 8" jointer for sale on my local craigslist and I have never heard of that brand before. Did a quick google search and did not come up with much. Any of you guys heard of...

Bernie,
I shared this concern at first however I was able to get the blade to tension well enough and as I understand it this blade is a little "thinner" than a standard 1" thickness blade and the...

Congrats Toby!,

I actually just bought the same thing not too long ago and I absolutely love this saw. I upgraded from a Rikon 14 inch and the difference in like night and day. I have been able...

would appreciate any real world input you may have Hugh.

Ok so I revised my earlier post on "bandsaw trigger pull". I have the Laguna 14 SUV on order and now I have a question I am sure many have asked in the past. Blades. Anyone have this saw and could...

Yeah I know. Now that a read it I would have had the same thought.

Well just pulled the trigger on the Laguna 14 SUV. Done a lot of reading and based on the model I saw it just looks good. It has plenty of re-saw height and in the demo I saw seemed to cut through...

Is there a big difference between the two? And now that you mention it the one that was on sale at my HD was the 55 and the one on sale on Amazon is the 50.

What is going on with the Milwaukee 6950-20 compound sliding miter saw? It was pushed out of Home Depot at a really low price and now I see it on sale on Amazon for $479 with free shipping thats...

I saw it just a couple of weeks after Christmas. Really fried me as it was one of the models I was looking at and wanted and would have bought at that price.

Anyone know what happened at HD with the $300 blow out of the Milwaukee sliding miter saws? Missed out on this one and was just one day short of picking one of these up. HD in phoenix was...

Thanks for all the responses. Sure helps to hear from other folks who have one of these saws. I looked at the Jet and Powermatic and then steel city and shop fox saws but none seem to offer the...

Fellow woodworkers,

It looks like my significant other might just approve the purchase of a Griz bandsaw. I am doing a lot more of my own veneering work and right now am restricted by the 6"...

Great responses so far. Using the saw for essentailly any rough carpentry that I do and then to cut down long boards when doing fine work I think that I am leaning towards the Makita. It also uses...

THanks guys I did not realize the Ridgid came with the stand as well. I think that the Ridgid was actually more expensive than both the Makita and Milwaukee.

Keep it coming appreciate it.

Thanks for the responses so far. Gerry I did look at the Ridgid and would consider it, its just that right now the Makita version comes with a free hypoid saw and the Milwaukee comes with a free...

I happened to stop by the orange borg today as I am looking to get a miter saw. It is easier to cut down long boards with a miter saw than on the table saw. i also do some rough carpentry and could...
