Hey Larry, can you share your idea of a quality planer.

There is the rub. I can appreciate this is the same design they have been making for 30 years, and I also see the benefits of purching a used planer. I'm looking for something new and because of that...

Which one is that? The votes don't attach names to it so I have no idea which one you picked.

Think it is worth trying rubber spray? I have a few cans of it that I've used for different projects and it might work well for that.

I recently bought an 8" Grizzly G0656P and I'm not extremely impressed with the build quality. However, I think that is simply due to what appears to be a sloppy casting - the machine work done on...

This is the basic structure I've come up with:
273768
There will be OSB on the outsides:
273769
Going to stick to using pocket holes on this structure.

Thanks for the suggestion, I should have mentioned that the corners will be exposed to moisture on the inside so metal wouldn't work as well over time.

I do need to start attempting mortises so...

Hello, I am in the design process for a reptile tank that will have two sliding lexan doors in the front.

I'm only working with wood that I have on hand as this is a temporary housing from now...

I appreciate the efforts guys!

Initially I dismissed the die tap as it was too short. I also found plenty of the plastic handle ones.

I'm convinced they (people out there in corporate world)...

So I'm trying to find a basic t-wrench made of two pieces of metal that can accept a 1/4" bit. I was able to find plenty of socket t-wrenches with 1/2" - 3/8" ends for socket wrenching, but nothing...

Is this a good company? I haven't heard of them, it has a made in Taiwan. Sticker up front so I'm just worried about replacement parts or quality in regards to being square.

Thanks for the find...

So what could one do to remedy something like that? I too get dim lights when I kick on multiple units in my shop. Can you get more amperage supplied from the electric company?

Two came up on CL nearby.. A Grizzly 1182 6" for $375 and a Ridgid JP0610 6" for $300.

Good, bad, wait?

Well the seller decided to keep it. I'm devastated honestly. :(

Looks like I'll be sticking with the router/saw combo for now. Eventually when another deal pops up I'll grab a jointer.

Not a problem Steve, I'd love to stop by but I'm in the North East.

Thanks, after reading the posts these are my thoughts exactly. I found a Grizzly G0452 6" for $325 from someone local, should be worth it from what I've looked up price wise.

Wow, I'm overwhelmed by the amount of responses. Thank so much for the replies.

I have the following big ticket items in my shop: Tablesaw, Router, Mitre/Chop saw. Basic hand tools and power tools...

So I'm just an average joe woodworker building out of my garage. My typical constructions include end-tables, aquarium stands, benches, stools and other miscellaneous box shaped items. My big...
