Congratulation Jim, she’s a beauty! Good luck with the shop build!

Congratulations, Jim. That is one fine saw!

Are you sure your wheels are flat? I assumed the wheels on my Felder were flat until I put a square across them. They have just enough crown to align the gullets with the center of the wheel...

I run a 1 inch resaw king on my Felder 610 (19 in) and could not be more pleased. As other have said you probably do not need to go larger. Also, if you have their ceramic guides like I do, you...

You probably know this Jim, but the difference between my 5hp hi-vac cyclone versus my old 3 hp unit (both oneidas) is like the difference between a contractors saw and a stout cabinet saw. Highly...

If you’re in the blacksburg, va area, I’d be happy to show you or anyone else the shop.

I hadn’t thought about storing my lumber vertically until you just now mentioned it. It probably is a more convenient way to sort through wood, but I don’t know that I want to give up the floor...

Hi Jim, I’m very happy with the 10’ ceiling, pitching to 12.5 in the center. All of the duct work is 10ft about the floor and completely out of the way when handling sheet goods. Of course, hanging...

I still have my pm2000. It’s the first thing you see when you enter the shop through the double doors in the back of the shop. I can drive up to them by cutting though my neighbor’s yard, but...

The last shop was very nice, but I really craved more wall space, which is why I went with the transom windows. I sacrifice natural light, but I love having my tools on the walls close to where I...

Yep, I’ve made two Maloof rockers and two his low-back chairs.

$4800 to be exact, and that was after I eliminated a floor sweep for the lathe and a drop to the miter saw. I’ve always just used a shop vac for that and will continue to do so. I must say, the...

Just a few more details. The main shop is 25 x 42, with an adjacent 6x10 closet for the dust collector and air compressor. I went with nordfab ducting, which I ordered through Oneida (they call it...

It's been so long since I gave a report on the progress of my new shop (fourth overall), that I thought It would be best to just create a new post. Ok, it's not completely done, but nearly so, and...

Electric: 200 amp panel installed, and wiring roughed in for ceiling lights (American green led), and receptacles. Ran conduit under slab for major equipment items. Opted out of 3 phase rotary...

Thanks, Jim. That's how I'm leaning, especially now that it will housed outside the main shop where noise won't be as big as an issue--not that I want to disturb my neighbors either.....

Thanks for the suggestion Dave. I need to look into that. Any idea how much I would need to spend for loads up to 1000 pounds?

The foundation has been poured and framing will start this week. I'm still on the fence about which DC unit to go with. This will be my fourth DC system and I am determined to get it right this...

Thanks, Dan. I will ask my builder about it. This is his first wood shop build, but he has been planning one for himself and is pretty knowledgeable and also open minded.

Shop update: I just got approval for a sink. No toilet as the city has a strict ordinance against a second dwelling on my property. Once there is a toilet they are afraid someone will start living...

Foundation poured! This will be my fourth shop having moved into our new home almost exactly one-year ago. It will be 25 X 42, with a 10' vaulted ceiling. No plumbing allowed, but will have 200 AM...

Here are pics and a video from my last shop. I sold it and the house in October and am finally ready to start build on my new (and definitely last) shop. I will not be able to duplicate everything...

I had something like this with former unisaw. One of their technicians suggested it was the electrical settings within the switch box, and it was. For some reason the ‘over-ride’ setting (the one...
