Thanks Jim. I've gotten a lot of use out of the free version. I guess it's time to pony up.

Hey guys, I've been using (for free) SketchUp make 2015 for several years now, but I'm getting a new computer so time to install new software. I dont do any 3-D drawing so I dont need anything more...

If water boils at such a low temperature under a vacuum, why is heat a necessary part of the process? The sterilization process I get.

Agree. I think I will get an appropriate blade, set it up on my saw, and cautiously have at it. About the only thing I can think of close to the hardness of this wood is some Ipe I resawed a couple...

About $500 for a 20' blade! I'm hoping there is some left left on the blade after this job is done.

I'm thinking it was bad setup. He said the teeth would break off at the moment of contact with the wood. He could tell because he could see the tooth fly off when it contacted the wood. Once a...

Unfortunately I know little about their attempt to re-saw. Their guitars are quite nice, but they were buying the pre-sawn sets. The fact that they struggled so badly had me concerned. They said...

I was approached by someone looking to have some Brazilian rosewood guitar sets resawed. They attempted to saw them on a 14" laguna bandsaw with a resaw king blade. After only a couple marginally...

I visited Old Standard Wood several years go, and got the nickle tour. It was my first exposure to vacuum drying. John's comments were that the process simply speeds up the process.

Lot's of interesting comments on the subject. It's clear why there is no definitive answer to the question. I've asked a couple vacuum driers, and they dont have answers. My conventional kiln...

Are there any studies out that show the differences between conventionally kiln dried wood vs. vacuum kiln dried wood? I hear claims that the vacuum process results in less end checking, and...

I was told by the PP people that the unit can be damaged if a cap goes out during use. I replaced mine at the 9 year mark. They told me most units sent in for repair after the 10 year mark are due...

Any updates or new ideas on this crisis?

563H 21" Are the Grass Dynapro a direct replacement? My cabinets & boxes are all done.

Just checking in on this thread. I just got an update that my back-order has been bumped to September, with locking devices not being available until march of 2023. Hows everyone dealing with this?

Yup! I'm on it.

Ya, a viable solution, but will likely require me to work while standing on a ladder.

Slot is for a guide on the bottom of a set of large sliding barn doors. The doors are just too big to do in the shaper. I was hoping to find something like 1/8" kerf x 1" deep. I could do two...

Anyone know of a slot cutting router bit capable of cutting a 1" deep slot? TIA

Anyone use an insert type groover?

that would be nice, but I'm not sure running that on the top of a 7" tall spindle is a good idea.

I'm not seeing anything large enough in Dia. from Amana.

Some yes, but others no. Esp. the tennons.

Want to cut a 2" x 1/2" rebate & tennon on my shaper. Don't have a stub spindle. Biggest rebate head I have cuts up to 1 1/2" Looking for recommendation on a head that will cut a full 2" thanks!

I've got a pile of nice 20' long clear yellow pine boards, but I dont think that's the best material to use.
