Twisted wood has internal stress that will always try to relieve itself by twisting more. I would be afraid that after you get the board straight and installed the heat from the fire will cause more...

I shifted all my batteries to LI, and now I almost exclusively use battery powered circular saws, sawzall, drills, and hammer drills. So much faster and easier.

I never edge plane because it takes too much time and effort. I saw the edge with a Festool track saw, then cut to width with a table saw. I joint one side of the board and plane the other side to...

Not very good for long boards.

I would use a steel angle iron for the ledger if it is out of sight.

Reworking the 1939 floor will be very time consuming, and the reworked floor may not look the way you want it. Will the plywood floor stand up to the kitchen traffic, spills, etc.?

220 volts halves the current but produces the same power. Start current causes less light dimming because there is less voltage drop on the lines. The motor circuit breaker sees the same power...

I've made lots of T&G for ceilings. The wood started as sawmill cut and ended up as finished T&G. I used 3/4 inch thickness, the other 3/4 inch on your wood will be a big job to handle. I used 10...

A feeder is an excellent accessory for a shaper. It protects the operator from the knives and it insures a steady feed rate.

Any price for this saw is too much if you can't use its capabilities. Remember, beyond purchase price is floor space cost, air conditioning cost, dust collection cost, increased cost of blades, etc.

I have 12 US patents applied for, so I know something about developing a patent. The only patentable material that saw stop has is the implementation of the sensing part and maybe the stop part....

I used to use my 8" Grizzly to edge joint boards, but because most of my wood is straight from the sawmill and air dried it takes a lot of passes to edge joint most boards. Now I use my track saw to...

Ihave two Grizzly 1/2 HP feeders; 4rollers. I will sell one for $400. It needs a little TLC.

If it possible leave it at 230 because the motor will start much better.

I have an 8" and have never wanted anything wider because most wider boards cup so much that you end up splitting them into two boards.

I put a saw horses about 6 inches behind my truck and another about 5 feet behind the truck. Then I put a couple of 2x4s on the horses. Then I slide the sheet goods onto the 2x4s and using a track...

I have done thousands of BF of T&G and I always used a high grade roller stand. Minimum fuss and cost and with a good level you get perfect results every time.

I have a TS55 and I think it is great; much better than any other tool Festool makes. I use a lot of rough cut wood straight from the sawmill, and getting a straight edge was hard work with a jointer...

I suggest that you buy batteries and chargers from on line dealers rather than De Walt because the performance is as good or better and the price is lower. I just bought two 5.25 saws from EBAY...

I recommend buying the best used saw that meets or surpasses your needs. Then buy the manual, take it apart, clean and adjust all parts, and put it back together. You probably will have to make some...

I use my track saw as intended. I use a 5.25 inch battery operated circular saw for other requirements. Once in a great while I have to resort to my 7.5 inch 120V circular saw. Why complicate things...

Never move material against the direction of the router bit. Plywood is the most difficult material to cut. First score the plywood with a deep cut line where you want the edge to be. Then place the...

We are renovating our church. The pews are dirty in places from people grasping them, and the dirty areas include a decorative indentation much like the old time door trim had. Can we buy a power...

If your ceiling will permit it store them vertically in original condition.

A shaper table is usually big enough to mount a feeder on, and a feeder improves safety, reduces labor, and makes better cuts. No can do with a router. Try to tongue and groove a 6 in/10 ft board on...
