Last I knew it wholesaled here in NC for around $7 bdft for 4/4 RGH. Wide boards could be closer to $8 bdft. If you got the cash I'd say go for it.

That's how the law reads here in North Carolina. The seller is to collect the sales tax and remit to the state DOR but if they fail to, it does not change the fact that the customer owes the tax. ...

I've used a Bosch 1617 EVSPK this way for quiet awhile(a few years). As a matter of fact I just replaced the bearings in it this past week so you know it has seen some use. No problems at all with...

Allan,
HD should have the TK Ridgid Titanium 50T combination blade for $39.99 or so. It is a "cut" above the others in the price range because it has the laser cuts in it more like the Freud LU...

Everyone here is saying it is braising but it might not be. I had a new Freud spit teeth and upon examination it was the carbide breaking. The rear side of the tooth was still braised to the blade....

Peter,
As a local and one that has bought quite a few sticks of wood from that WC, I can tell you that they are not bad on the exotics. Most of the local folks pride themselves on praising Steve...

I've got two saws as well. I've got a sled and a crosscut blade on the old contractor saw and keep a general purpose blade on the Unisaw. I did build a box/cabinet under the contractor saw for...

I do this professionally and I don't understand why anyone would want to do without a tablesaw in a pro shop. It seems set-up time on the guided saws would take more time and effort. Heck, I've got...

I've used it several times over the last year on things like counter tops, and furniture. I love it. It is so easy to use you can't mess up. I apply it with a foam applicator and it levels out on...

Bob,
Please understand that those of us doing this as a business are not going to share what we know so everyone else can copy it. There's way too much of that now. At one show I ran three people...

I posted before regarding using a guard but just wanted to encourge everyone to use a "shoe" type push stick like the one Bob F. mentioned a few post back. The long plastic or wood stick type will...

I've got two TS's and no guard installed. I wish I could use one. 95% of the cuts I make won't allow guards. I rip small width pieces using a thin kerf blade on one saw. The other saw is set-up...

Brad,
The few years I've been at this I've not seen that much flux in pricing except for constuction lumber (pine, spruce, etc.) and sheet goods. Low end sheet goods are more likely to increase in...

A replacement for my Festool is $30. Yeah, they all cost money but look at how long they last. Compared to all the toys of this sport I don't see it as a big deal. Also, part of the need to...

Great looking work. I'm really a fan of Waterlox. I've done several projects using it. Matter of fact I finished up a butcher block, island top today using the satin version. Great product and...

John,
You can do that with a disc sander but remember you will have to sand out the swirled scratch marks it leaves. I like an oscillating edge sander for this purpose because it leaves no further...

I've got 3 Delta X5 machines in the 2-3yr old range. I haven't noticed anything like this but I'll now examine them closer. You may just have a case of a skipped step in the finishing process as...

Brian,
I just went to Supergrit and I didn't find anything listed for a wide belt sander.
Do they have them and their not on the website? I need a 25" x 60" belt.

I just got a new to me, used PM RB25 wide belt sander up and running this week. Now I need to get some belts in for it. I got a few with the machine and one of the brands was Hermes. They look...

I'm a woodworking business owner. It is my understanding that if it is part of the product/s you make then it is counted in inventory based on your cost. This could be screws, lumber, glue,...

Yellowheart and Purpleheart go well together. Maple trimed with a narrow band of wenge on the top and drawers with purpleheart legs would also be a great combination also.

I've got the Grizzly 1/3hp model and the Rigid osscilating edge sander. The Grizz I've had for several years. I've worn out the top on it I've used it so much. The motor is still going stong. The...

After having two shops wired and two differ electricans, my answer would be #12 wire and 20amp breakers.

I would put Jet into the pretty good category. I have 2 of their lathes, a long arm buffer/sander, and a 1.5hp DC with canister. There's small issues with every one of them but nothing major. ...

I received mine from Peachtree last week. Seems like a pretty well built router. I wanted to upgrade from a 2.25hp to the 3.25hp in one of my tables. I haven't mounted it yet but the opening in...
