    Had one and dumped it. While it can do a reasonable job it does not compare in speed or sharpness to finishing up with an 8k water stone on chisels and plane irons. Simple truth is it's way...

    Wet down the wood surface generously. Let in soak in for 20 seconds or so. Wipe it dry and plane within a minute. Of course grain direction tops all.

    It almost looks like someone did it after the fact...like at the shipping yard with home depot 2x4's. I would doubt they would use stamped/graded 2x4 material in Europe. Maybe it's an improvement...

    Typically when I have another gate or two left open I can have this problem. So yes, insufficient air flow would be my first guess. I have a 5 hp DC with up to 40' of runs, all hard piped except the...

    Using puny equipment compared to what you have now will be a frustrating, cursing and less safe environment. It will cost you double in the future to buy, sell...and buy again. But if you need the...

    I built mine out of Cumaru which was left over from our deck. Works well. Color will bleed a bit when new so it's best to leave outside to let a some sun and rain season it a little.

    I think it's not a good tool at the hobby level. If it's the first thing you reach for instead of knocking out some good 'ol mortice and tenons by almost any other method then you're losing out on...
  12. Odd man out

    I just moved and set up a new shop and it's over 3x the size of my old. I have opted out of the mitersaw station I used to have. Why?? I really don't need it. For me it's a site saw only, I can get...

    I've made many interior doors from various hardwoods. Mostly M&T and some dowelled, neither have had issue. Good joinery is always a safe bet.

    3/16 !!?? not a chance. Wood is not a perfect material but trying to force things will only make for a frustrating build. I typically buy 30 to 50% more material for a project (depending on my supply...

    I now obviously have no artistic ability...you must have stole it all. Very nice job on a cool design. Funny thing, until I read the post I thought it was much taller.

    It seems that nobody has any clear instructions. I talked to Byrd and Hammer and both indicate a bit of patience and the parts diagram and all will be well. I'll go for it.

    Yes. I used a 15" planer the other week with a byrd, it was so quiet and as good a finish in very nasty wood it makes me want to upgrade, but the mechanics of it are making me nervous.
  21. Instructions or video for installing byrd head in a Hammer A3 31

    I've looked but can't find anything. It sure looks complicated which has made me reluctant to purchase it, or am I just overthinking this....

    Anyone have a link to some info ???
