Woodworking is the most expensive hobby that I have come to know so far !
March 2010, G0690. Happy repeat customer ever since. My first stop for any tools shopping is CraigsList, second stop Grizzly. Buck stops there !
I have G0690 for close to 3 years and I can vouch it is absolutely awsome saw. Very accurate, very beefy and at 500+lb, it is as heavy as any other saw in its class. I will be more than happy to...
Not defending Grizzly, but it really sounds like you got a lemon. In general Grizzly machines are of very good quality with a great value for money. I own table saw G0690 (I hope you would consider...
That is a heck of a DP you got there. That is what I call "manly" machine !
I picked up mine on CL for $100 a few months ago. For that price, I thought it was a great tool (I certainly do not think this tool is worth it's retail price). Anyway, yesterday the hinge block...
Thanks for replies guys. It is clear that the squeaky noise is not normal. I also noticed that the noise comes when the spindle is down and disappears when the spindle goes up. So I decided to...
I am revisiting this forum after a very long time (as I was away from woodworking due to travelling nature of my job).
I just picked up a used Jet benchtop oscillating spindle sander (JBOS-5) for...
Thank you very much guys. I will follow these instructions, and will get the knives closer to 1 thou. The glass & magnet method sure sounds genius and got my attention.
I recently got a real sweet deal on local Craig List for a brand new (I mean, the box in shrink wrap) Ridgid 6" Jointer JP0610. Just assembled it and ran a piece of 2x2 and got amazingly smooth flat...
How about glueing quarter round on the edges ? It will not only hide the ply edge, but also give you "child-safe" edges for the lid.
I bought Forrest Duraline plywood blade from Coastal tool for $125 a few months ago, when the nearest competitor was around $150. Delivery was in time.
I have not yet found a cheaper saw blade...
EVERY TOOL ON GRIZZLY.COM THAT IS PRICED IN FOUR FIGURE :D Well, except my beloved G0690 table saw. I have it and will justify it to death any time, any place :cool:
This thread has been an eye opener for me and thank you all very much for sharing experiences and picures. I stand right in the path of the blade all the time :( I never had kickback before, but I am...
This saw has steel wings (not cast iron). That will be issue (more vibration). I would rather go for G0438RLX or G0661. They both have cast iron wings. In addition, Grizzly has recently introduced...
You will most likely not need 50" capacity ever, but you will need 32" - 36" occasionally. You can easily add 8 inches to G0690 by shifting the rail permanently (that's what I did on my G0690. Works...
Thanks for all the replies and comments. I had used combination of hard maple and walnut. It is finally finished. I guess I will do better job in next cutting board !
The motor overheating does normally mean the motor is drawing more than rated current in order to cope with the overload it is subjected to. Any electrical appliance and machine produces heat under...
You are on roll dude ! I see a future "Fine Chairs Specialist" here. First the rocker and now this one.
Very elegant piece of work !
If this is one man shop, I do not believe you need more than 60amps in your sub-panel.
I did similar thing recently in my two car garage. Installed a subpanel with 4x220V and 4x110V (total 8...
Fully agree with Shawn. Your wire must be rated at or above the circuit breaker, otherwise you run risk of wires overheating (read fire hazard) in the event of overload. For 20amp breaker with 12AWG...
G0690 is absolutely great saw and you will not regret buying it. I owe this forum my review (and some pictures of sawdust) but I am have been either busy or lazy :rolleyes: to do it so far !
I...
I disagree. It totally depends what you are trying to do. I did my own 220V wiring in my garage two car garage and spent over $600 just for material and switchgear. If I had hired a professional, the...
A few weeks ago I started a thread "Best 10" table saw blades" I was actually looking for a one blade that can do both ripping and crosscutting, and the best. From the responses I received, I learned...
Is there an easier way to sand end-grain surface (like end-grain cutting board surface) ? I just finished sanding my cutting board (actually, didn't finished, just gave up half way out of...
