I'm not crazy about the vise, I wish it was angled like some other brands. You have to crank it down b/c boards tend to slip. I put sandpaper on it.

I have an vacuum pump for AC use, I've been told it will work, but I've never tried it.
I think its worth looking for used pumps, as they can be quite expensive and hard to justify if you don't...
Clamp, align, counter drill, screw.
Use screws with a smooth upper shank. I use a lot of Spax screws. Not really a big fan, but they are readily available. A lot of people use drywall screws but...
I agree a belt sander is a good way, but not very time efficient.
A straight bit is the worst you can use. There are double fluted pattern bits that have a slight twist in the cutter, which are...
Too hot for me to wear an apron.
Not an issue for me I do a quick blow off with compressed air before going back to the house.
Sitting on my back porch, listening to nature, watching the birds to go the myriad feeders.

Can you spray ArmRSeal?
A water based lacquer would probably be my choice.
Bryan, I had the same issue, checking fence, hand position at end of motor, I still could never get consistently flush joints. I always figured it was operator error, but I could never figure out...
It's fine talking about it, but it's hurting a lot of people.
If electric is what the future holds, this is not the way to get there!
Has anyone drilled through melamine? How did the bit hold up?
I don't see a specific recommendation for it.
As mentioned, some stones are not to be stored immersed. Check the mfg'ers recommendation.
I used to keep my water stones immersed in water, but I no longer do that. When I'm getting ready to...
I think its fantastic, but there's a limited category of ww'ers who 1) use a shooting board and 2) within that group, many (like me) don't have much need for bevels or miters.
Forward it to Rob...
Flat top blades with over 30T are going to be pricey.
Good justification for a dado set.
I have a CT36 and am looking to add the boom arm, handle and tool holder.
But I don't see a boom arm listed as an accessory for this model on FestoolUSA only the CT48 and CT26?

I've sanded to 220. I always do a final hand sand when using an orbital, just for safety.
I think an upper dust port right under that table is a good feature.
Never had one with a brake, not sure that's a "make or brake" factor :-)
Disregard I talked to Osmo.
Water under the bridge but here's what I do:
Make a small incision over the wire on the inside, grab hold of it and pull out several spirals, cut off.

My one son who lives in Denver had a 2001 Honda CRV that I gifted to him, which had the catalytic converter stolen.
The insurance paid for the replacement, 3 days later it was stolen again.

I have one and its a good saw.
For a few dollars more, this might be an option. Included 2 5.0A batteries. If you already have them, it never hurts to have more than one drill/driver.

I'm making several deck chairs of cypress that will be under cover and out of the weather.
So far, all I've tested is Waterlox, and it looks good. But I've thought about Osmo and Danish oil.
I start by adjusting the stand so the wheel is centered on the bevel, and I grind until there's about 1/16" to the edge.
That's my "secondary bevel".
If you grind to the edge with a stone you...
Thanks Mark. I couldn't find any full size plans, so I made my own. And yeah, I cut the angles the wrong way on the vertical supports.:confused:
Yeah, there are a couple discrepancies in the...
I'm having some trouble getting the back slats to lie flat on the vertical supports. It seems the angle needs to be steeper. I need to keep playing with it I guess.
Main main question right now...
