Paul, your neighbour has a hermit crab?!?

Lou, many thanks for the informed reply. You've given me a lot of things to check, which I will do.
Dust collection will be adequate, although I wonder how many friends I'll make firing up that 40hp...

Hi Lou, just found this thread.

I've got a line on an old Timesavers Top V38 (1962 model). It's on exfactory and listed in "very good operating condition" Now I generally don't believe much of...

Another huge benefit to a full combo like a Felder is that it actually makes financial sense. Now I know this doesn't sound right but.....If you bought 5 separate machines of the same quality and...

Paul, you are giving this entirely too much time and energy.
What if the results of your poll favour the 18 , will you buy it? What if they favour the 14? What if the results end up being...

David, be forewarned that hickory is a female canine to mill, even if it is dried correctly. It's still worth getting this much lumber from your tree, but when the wood starts tearing out and...

If you really are a slider user then you know that most, 99%, of the people on this board don't have a slider. Which is why I asked my question specifically to a cabinet saw. Straight lining rough...

I never understood the 'jig' thing. Since establishing a straight edge is one of the fundamentals of board preparation, something that is done to every board that comes into the shop, a half-baked...

What do you put against the fence with rough lumber on a regular cabinet saw if you don't have a straight 'jointed' edge?

This is interesting. I'll be interested in what you find out.

Christian, my shop will be much prettier in a couple of months, I'll post pics somewhere then.

Hunter, you'll be very happy with that machine. Congrats and definitely go for it.That's a very good price for that machine too.

I need a shaper so it's either the Format4 Profil45 or the Martin...

In my experience, absolutely not. They won't measure anything.

Remember, you're the designer/craftsman...you call the shots. It's the only way to make money building furniture.

Lee Valley has lots of Metric measuring tools.

There will always be a mixture of both systems. Here in Canada we've been metric for over 30 years but lumber is still sold in board feet, it's...

Bob, you'll be very pleased you've switched to metric. It's just so much easier not having to deal with fractions. The math is simple and you'll make no mistakes in fractional conversions and all...

You're definitely ripping him off. approx $9k in equipment for $1500. If it's the supermax 37x2 drum sander, it lists around $6000 I think. This guy obviously has more money than......... Offer him a...
