I'm with Justin... never had a problem doing this, but most often, I put one forward and one aft. Straddling with one is better for smaller parts.

Remember, if you go with the PC 7518, you'll have to buy a lift. I'm happy with my Triton at 3-1/4 hp with above the table height adjustment and single wrench bit changing. These go for $259 and...
Triton. Own two of the big boys. One lives in a table.
Have the Ryobi version.. Have had a few misfires, but all nails set propery, even in hardwoods. If you go for it, try CPO. You can buy w/or w/o batts and you can also buy refurb units at tremendos...
Is it cupping? You must alternate grain patterns of each board for the glue-up.
Is it warping? Allow lumber to acclimate. If warping still occurs, glue up alternating warps and use cauls to...
I've got, maybe 15. I keep them all in the top drawer of the lower cabinet of the Chraftsman roller. They're easy enough to access, but for the last few years, I think I have too many, especially...
I read the posts and wonder if times have changed.
I went to a vocational HS (Diman Reg. Voc. HS, Fall River, MA, class of 70). We alternated 2 wks shop, 2 wks academics for 4 yrs. Never saw bad...

Like another has said, pencil in the ear, folding rule in back pocket! Was taught that way in Diman Regional Vocational HS (class of 70). It took many years for me to warm up to the measuring tape,...
Correct Scott... for running edges crown down. For running crown up, place the crown center on the infeed table so both board ends are level to each other and joint maintaining boards orientation....
Over 40 yrs ago at a vocational HS, I was taught how to run warped boards over a jointer with the crown up or down. Jointer or board length do not matter. With my 6" Ridgid, I recently edged some 5/4...
WITH A HANDHELD ROUTER - I did this a few months ago and it worked better than anticipated (built a rocking horse for granddaughter and used dowels for hand-holds and foot pegs). Needing dowels only...
I own a couple. They're junk. Whatever they're best at, there are better tools to accomplish them. IMO, they're for the guy who doesn't know any better.
Bought a HF 12" slider back around 2002. After the first couple of days use, 2 of the 4 plastic handles (forgot details) broke off, but the metal bolts underneathe them allowed continued use. After...
Glue is enuff, but putting cauls on something so narrow may prove difficult.
If it were me, I'd glue one at a time followed by shooting two 18g X 1-1/4" brads into it. This way, you can pretty...
I have the Ridgid also. Good tool for the money. Have had mine for 3+ yrs, and after considerable use, no tracking issues. IMO, tool for dollar, the 200 spent on it is hard to beat. Also have...
No guards, no riving knives.
Have worked in 9 ot 10 shops during my "working years" and have only seen a RK in use on a slider - nothing, ever, on a cab saw. Competence recognizes dangers and...
Are the doors cut to length yet? If not, you can make the door styles wider by ripping each style diagonally, then reglue with an "off-set" sufficient to provide the additional width needed. This...
OK, here goes... on October 19th, 1971 at 8:15 AM, I was working as a ships jointer in a RI shipyard. Portable equipment was on an open air deck (under an extended overhead cover) of a ship recently...
Read the post and the whole time I was thinking router template. +1 Jim Neely!
Glue them all in a straight line to a sacrificial peice the same width. After they dry, rip them to thickness on the TS.
EXAMPLE: Let's say you have six peices. Cut a peice of scrap 2" W by 30" L....
+1 for the Craftsman Hybrid.
I own one and IMO, think they're a little under rated. They seem to have the biggest bang for the buck, especially when on sale.
Change your blade?
It could be your blade causing the drift. Once you ensure your fence is parallel to the blade/TS slots and your rip still walks away from the fence, either change your blade, or get used to it and...
