I like the Incra version of the Jessem Mast-R-Lift. The Incra has better inserts which are easier to adjust flush with the table top. I have owned both Incra and Jessem.

I purchased Festool tenons, not aftermarket. I just got a bad batch.

How thick are your 5mm Festool Domino tenons?
The latest 300 bag I bought included 130 tenons that were less than 5mm thick. Some were in the 4.7mm range. Even at 4.8mm the tenons just fall out...

I have the ten-inch wide version of your machine and had the same problem. I wrote up my fix to this problem a couple of years ago and will paste it below. It is rather long, but I hope it helps.

The bin alarm is sold by Oneida Air Systems. They call it the Dust Sentry. Cost is $148. It uses an infrared sensor installed in the bin lid. Oneida also sells a Drum Liner Bag Holder Kit for...

Allan is correct about the automotive products. The Dynamat is the most known and by far the most costly. That is why I did not use Dynamat. I just wanted to experiment with one of the automotive...

After a couple of years of putting up with noise generated by my dust collector, I decided to do something about it. It cost me around $300 and reduced the noise level by 10 dB. I did this in three...

I just measured the blade. It is actually 151.5 inches. The upper wheel can be adjusted about 2 inches. It looks like a 154 inch blade is what I need.

Owners of MM16s... don't believe any blade...

It is a 2007 modell

My MM16 has a label on it that says the minimum blade length is 151.18 inches. But I cannot fit a 152 inch blade on it.

What length blade do owners of a MM16 have on their machines?

Thanks.

I have an Oneida Dust Sentry drum level sensor for my dust collector. Unfortunately, the infrared sensor failed. I called Oneida but they would not sell the infrared sensor, nor would they give a...

I just received a Forrest 8-inch Dado King today. I spent some time comparing it to a brand new Freud Super Dado that I also have.

I'll make this short. Both blades cut great. I have no...

I am another caught by that switch. It took a while looking at the pictures in the all-German manual to figure it out.

I also would like to compliment the Felder/Hammer company on their excellent...

Thank you very much for the replies on the width.

Jet would not reply to my emails with anything other than what the manual says, even though I said I needed to see if anything could be removed to...

Thanks Michael for the links. I am considering other machines also.

As far as the width question, manuals can be wrong or just give you the ASSEMBLED WIDTH. I wanted to know if there was a way...

I may buy a Jet Planer/Jointer, JJP-12. But I have a narrow door to get the machine through.

Can a JJP-12 owner please tell me the minimum size door the JJP-12 will get through?

Thank You

I modified a Keller jig when I got it.

It is true that a sliding table saw is great for cutting sheet goods. But I use my sliding table saw mostly for ripping and crosscutting solid wood.

The method I use to make rip cuts uses the...

How do you search for an exact phrase.

For example: Shaper Power Feeder

In Google you would enter "Shaper Power Feeder"

I agree with Brice. I also like the anti-static hose on the Festool. The addition of the boom arm is really nice. I used to keep hoses up with bungee cords.

I have a Fein vac in addition to the...

I had Festool Batteries rebuilt by MTO. http://mtobattery.com/store/index.html

They did a fair job and batteries still working after 1 year.

I made a tenon jig shown in Woodsmith issue 127. You can buy the plan from Plansnow.com, http://plansnow.com/tenon.html.

The blade brake on my 6-year-old Makita miter saw stopped working.

I fixed it by cleaning the commutator with emery cloth.

To get at the commutator you remove the brushes, then remove the 4...

I've had shipments of large machinery from two companies. One does it right, the other not so right. I've attached two pictures of a saw that was packaged extremely well. The pallet was made of 2...

Thanks Jamie,

I looked at McMaster and just didn't see the Right to Left part number. Thanks for pointing it out for me.
