    Nice grab Mike. I'd not heard of that model either. I recently found a Mitutoyo 916-410 precision engineers square (40" x 20", .001 square) on the bay for less than the cost of a Woodpeckers...

    Not sure if this will work for your situation, but I'd rather fit the face frames to the doors rather than the other way around. I'd make a square template to fit my square/mitered/beaded doors +...

    Just an FYI for those that are following this thread. I bought a Steff Vario3 new in the box off of ebay last week for 825 dollars. The seller has more. If having a dial-on-the-fly variable speed...

    Larry,

    I use a kreg bench clamp with a tee nut screwed loosely onto the threaded end. Actually much faster to move and use than my felder eccentric clamp. $25 and works like a champ for most...

    I've got the Wilton 1780A and it is an indestructible beast. Something to look for; their higher end vises are made of 60k PSI ductile iron and it makes a difference if you do any heavy pounding or...

    Hammer or Rojek

    Mark,

    I cannot comment on the Rojek, other than saying that I eliminated it when I shopped for a slider 4 years ago due to sub-par reviews. Then again, you may find some owners that swear by...
