Another two big thumbs up for the Dylos air quality monitor. It helped me make intelligent decisions on which strategy worked best for each particular machine. I use it everytime when I go into the...

I read a post by John Lucas ( I believe ) about turning wet wood to final dimension at one sitting rather than rough turn, dry, then finish turn. I have a few questions about the procedure. I would...

Has anyone used a vacuum chuck on the delta 46-460. If so, any recommendations on brands and do they work well on this lathe ? Thanks so much for the advice.

I am currently going through the same research process. I believe I have decided to go with Racedeck flooring instead of dricore. The reason I chose racedeck is because I believe it will hold up...

Thanks everyone for the great advice !

I am considering laying down a Dricore floor over my workshop's concrete floor. It seems like it would be easier to walk on, warmer and just look nicer than the bare concrete I currently have. Has...

I have a kapex which is attached to my ridgid shop vac with its upgraded hose. I was skeptical about changing the hose, but I can say that it is definitely worth it. The dust collection with the...

Thank you so much for all the great advice ! I will have to check with my electrician to see if another 220v line is possible. I may be maxed out on the panel. If not, sounds like that is the way to...
