    walk through a display of cabinets?

    Maybe look at cabinets - at a big showroom or in high-end catalogs. You might find a profile which appeals to you more than others.

    The Freud set (like the 97-210) is popular - you can get that...

    Start with the longest run you have

    Lots of good advice here - one caution, or at least consideration. If you're installing diagonal, establish your line with the longest run of flooring you can. I work very deliberately, so I screw...

    Iturra has them -

    But Luis steered me away from the Woodmaster CT - said it is designed for bandsaw mills, that he hears there is buzz about it on the internet, and so he's stocking it now.

    Could you elevate the stock? Raise it an inch or more and you should get a longer cut. You may need to start with a plunge, lowering the spinning blade into the stock before drawing it across to...

    Sounds like you handled it perfectly

    We all have budgetary constraints.

    I try to imagine use of the tool and the options, then talk through it with my wife. She's great at posing questions.

    I know I've made the right decision if...

    As others note above - for plunge cutting and flush cutting it's the cat's meow. Most useful in renovation tasks. There are other good flush cutting tools, but I don't know anything in the ballpark...
  14. thanks -

    White Chapel is perfect - several excellent choices there for all the hardware.

    And magnets might be perfect for a latch.

    Does someone have a recommendation of a vendor for a brass nameplate?...
  15. Advice on latch and small raised panel doors

    With advice from SMC I'm working out the details of a service medal display case for my WW II vet father.

    He'll be here tomorrow. I'll check on his unit. I was wrong about 101st. He was in the 79th Infantry Division which included the 313th 314th and 315th Regiments. They were part of the Third Army in...

    Design developing -

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    I like the idea of a box with a raised panel lid - there's a triangular one in the center picture Scott posted. I'd likely go with rectangular.

  22. Thanks for posting this

    I've used them for decades and never knew a magnetic switch could turn on this way. Might be one bad accident averted. Never before in the habit of unplugging, that just changed!

    I've had one for a year and a half now in my hobby shop. I find it reliable, accurate. Blade changes are easy and pretty foolproof. It would be great to have a larger, sturdier platen - but then it...
