I don't see this thing having the air volume and pressure needed to get the fines out. Your purging system already does what that tool is trying to do.
get a barrel a bit bigger than your filter and...

If all you're making is window casements then yeah, it's a good saw, but if you want to be a versatile woodworker then you're gonna want something that has compound capabilities.

I replaced my...

I've done plenty of these panels. You can use 3/8" thick mdf for your back panel and rabbet the edges to act as the spacer, but you'll have to bring the thickness down to .350 to keep it a nice tight...

If you're going to veneer it you should do formed laminations, you can even use 1/8" hardboard from home depot. It'll be a much better surface for the veneer.
If you insist on coopering the doors,...

I agree to making it the same height as the TS, although it is low for intricate projects, it is a good height to be able to put your weight into a piece if need be. Maybe you could make up an extra...

I would assume it's a matter of simple economics. Byrd makes a lot more heads so they are better prepared to make them at a lower price!?

I would stick with the speed the manufacturer set it up with. If you don't know what that is you'll have to do the math on the pulleys unless it is direct drive? Here's a calculator to make it a...

I have a 20" woodtek sander. I can't help you with your problem but I can give you a heads up. This thing draws a ton of energy on start up. Mine is wired 220 on a 30 amp breaker, which it trips...

The best thing you can do is grab some stain (preferably dark) and a few different samples of wood, both soft and hard, and just practice your technique. The problem most people have is that the...

Real nice work, Sam! Cleaver solution to a common obstacle. I like how you tied in the doors.
Any movement issues with the burl?

A Floating slab is a slab of concrete with no foundation. Typical home construction up here in Minnesota is done with a footing below the frost line (4 feet) and then a concrete wall on top of that,...

Thanks James, I appreciate it!

James, I'm up here in Minnesota, so I get all the extremes!


Mark, can you expand a bit please? What happens as the frost moves under the perimeter of the shop while the center stays warm?...

I'm currently setting up shop at a house I purchased. The shop is separate from the house and is 24'deep x 40' wide. I'm about to insulate, and upon further inspection I noticed it's on a floating...

I've done it many times the same way Myk described, except I used an aluminum straight edge, work's great! But really, save your money and get a Shelix, you'll be wondering why you didn't do it a lot...

Here is a picture for clarity...

Hey guys,
I have a project coming up quick in which I need to make some large cove in the shape of an ellipse. The ceiling currently has a rectangular recess in it appx. 12' wide x 20' long x 12"...

The chipbreaker is adjustable, but I'm sure the pressure roller is not. I do love the fact that it is a 5hp motor, maybe I wont be when I see the electric bill!? If I do keep it I'm sure I will...

So I picked up a barely used Powermatic PM15 off CL for a pretty good deal, now I'm wondering if I should sell it for a standard planer or keep it. I'm not a fan at all of straight knives so it seems...

Thanks for all the replies you guys, you're all giving me some good food for thought!
Luckily the house has an attached two car (bragging a little:D) so I don't have to worry about parking anything...

Hey guys,
This is my first post, just looking for some wisdom on my shop. I bought a house a couple months ago that has a detached garage (what I like to call "a little piece of heaven!") that is...
