Thanks James!

I did try to use the planer on an off-cut piece that was a little burned and the tearout was pretty bad.


I may have to try that on a practice piece!


I do have scrapers. I tried it on some...

I am in the process of building a very simple computer desk - basically a trestle type table - no drawers or anything...

The top is cherry plywood with a 2" curly maple edge band. The trestle is...

Has anyone seen or built the ones in Woodsmith, #164, pg. 6? I was thinking about building some of these, as they look like they would be very easy to place the pressure where it is needed.

The fabric softener did make them slick when they were wet, but now they are fine. There does seem to be a residue that is sticking to our shoes that when we walk inside on the wood floors, causes...

My dust collection works fairly well, but there is still some that escapes, and will probably coat most of the mat surfaces sooner or later, but I am still curious about exactly how you would ground...

Ohhh how I hope that you're wrong :eek:! I have already sprayed lightly with a diluted mixture of Downy and water. The good news is that it worked for eliminating the static, and it smells GOOD in...

I think that I will try the fabric softener approach... already have some, and maybe it will make the shop smell "just washed fresh" :D.

Thanks,

Kent,
The mats are on concrete floors, like yours. I was really surprised by this.

My wife suggested maybe an anti-static spray, but.... how long would it last, would it be slick, and yes, what...

I just installed anti-fatigue mats from Harbor Freight in the shop. A neighbor came by and was looking it over, and as he was walking around, he touched some of the tools with cast iron surfaces and...

Well, thanks alot, Chris :rolleyes:! Now ya got me to rethinking my plan. Actually, I don't think that it is too much different than what I just got through buying. I do have the 10g wires that...

Thanks Ben, Craig and Roy!

Rodney

So Craig, you are saying that the leg in the middle would not necessarily need to be supported by the mobile base? How much vertical adjustment does it have? My base is going to raise the saw about...

Kevin, thanks. I have a neighbor who is an electrician that is going to help me do it.

Yeah, if I built it and it didn't fit, boy howdy, I wouldn't be hesitant to bring my brawny (scrawny?) 5'9", 145lb. self up to Connecticut and teach ya' to measure :D ! I think that I will make it...

I wish that I could help, but I am in the evaluation stage right now.

I am having some wiring done in the garag..., er shop, and would like to have an additional 220v circuit installed for a...

Yeah, I can't wait! Luckily (?), I have to do the wiring and also am re-routing the DC ducting for various tools this week, including the new saw. Oh, yeah, I also have to deliver the old Dewalt...

Thanks Roy! I am going tomorrow to buy the electrical supplies to add this circuit, 2 110v circuits and possibly another 220v circuit. You must have the 52" rails, huh?

Rodney

I just purchased the 3HP model (stealthy gloat :D) with the 36" rails from Woodcraft yesterday morning and it will probably be delivered in a week or so and I have a few questions. I need to install...

Yikes :eek:!

What is required to "upsize" my main service, if that is necessary? I am assuming that that is something that the electric company has to do, but does that entail an installation charge, or a rate...

I think that I have found a neighbor that was/is an electrician and will probably get him to take a look and see what I have/need - maybe install another sub panel... sounds like I am very close to...

Don, my main is 250A, if I understand correctly. The main breaker is a double pole with each labeled as 125A. In the main there are:
A double pole 60A labeled "Sub"
A double pole 30A labeled...
