    If you decide not to keep the 141 for the rest of your life (and it will last that long, if you change the bearings when they need it), you can always sell it for what you paid. You won't be able to...

    I don't roll my cart over that part of the floor, the cart is too big for that area. It would work, but the plywood is a little below the level of the floor. I don't get much debris in there, just...

    After 5 years in my shop, I also have a list of the good and bad. Fortunately, the good is much more plentiful.

    Good:
    High ceiling: Minimum 9’, sloping up to 11’ at edge of clerestory. I’ve...

    For that kind of money, you could just buy a used tenoner. That's what I did. Assuming you have space, of course.

    Gary:

    I ran a 8" wide by 8" deep trench to the middle of the slab in my 22'x26' shop, and put 6" PVC pipe in it for the DC. I highly recommend the trench approach, along with a couple of machine...

    The bottom of my Oneida cyclone filter is about 10' off the ground, and taking it down is impractical. So about 3 times a year I take the bottom pan off and get up on a ladder to vacuum out the dust...

    Zach: With that green color, unless somebody repainted the interior, that's a late 1960's saw, not 2003. Not that it makes any difference now that you've got the bearings changed.:)

    Across the ends of the board? Handsaw it or bandsaw it on edge, then clean up with a plane or sander.

    I've found a large table makes sawing large pieces much easier. So does a low table. My 30" saw has a table about 30"x 34" and it's about 4" lower than my 14" saw's table. It's much, much easier...

    My two fans work great in the summer, letting me cut way back on the A/C in the summer and stir up the heated air in the summer. On high, they'll blow big shavings off the floor but don't seem to...

    I concur--get the extension cord. A Teco FM50-203-C 3hp VFD is $196 plus shipping, will give you overload protection and a soft start. The 15 hp RPC is overkill for now, and I don't think static...

    If you're emptying and reusing your bags, could you get a few ziploc bags of sand and put them in the bottom of the bag. Retrieve when you empty the sawdust.

    If I were contemplating that machine, I'd have to ask myself "How many hundreds of mortises do I make a month?". As for the other one, I'd have to ask "How many thousands?"

    Michael:

    I can't find the diagram I did for my shop when I built it four years ago, so I'll have to describe it. Basically, most machines ring the shop along the walls, except for a cluster (TS,...

    Jack's right--burning comes from either a dull chisel/bit set or lack clearance. My Greenlee turns at 3450 rpm and doesn't burn wood. It will burn chips that get snagged inside the chisel, though....
