I’d suggest going to Parkerville the first few times. Their prices are a bit high, but they welcome hobby woodworkers and provide whatever level of help you may need. The selection is great. Walking...

Peter, the cost of fittings is where the real money is. I probably have double the money into fittings as I do pipe. It could have easily been 8 times had I not shopped around for several weeks. Good...

Thanks for the detailed information on your sound enclosure. Much of what you said is similar to what I’ve read and is considered best practice. Glad to hear it worked so well.

I’m likely just...

If you are seriously considering PVC and the suppliers in your area really charge that much, you might want to consider purchasing in the US and have it freight shipped. The 500-1000 spent on...

You won’t find cheap PVC from the retail suppliers. They typically only carry schedule 40, which is overkill and requires expensive fittings. I had good luck at distributors who specialize in...

I own a 261 and 661. The 261 is used 98% of the time. It’s a very capable saw and is likely overkill from a quality perspective given the use cases you outlined. Don’t be tempted to spend another...

Couple thoughts. One, there is no way that unit pushes 2320 CFM. Off the top of my head, 3HP and 12” impeller is much closer to 1000 before duct loses. Two, given the real world capacity, I’d go 6”...

It’s going in a corner, so two of the walls have already been built. I’ll throw up a couple more and save the muffler money for more tooling.

On a related topic, I’m shopping for collection...

I’m putting together my CV1800 this weekend. I was thinking of adding the muffler since my shop is in the basement. You say you still need to wear hearing protection. Given that’s the case, do you...

I was very interested in this blade as well, but was talked out of it by a few member on another forum. I also have a KF700s, so I'd like to hear your thoughts. Never too late to place an order if it...

I used three of their mortise sets on my exterior doors. Couldn't be happier. Incredible quality, but it comes at a price.

I really like the 500v, but given the recent price increases from Barth and USD/EUR exchange rate, I'd likely find another solution if I were buying today. The Felder FAT 300s outfitted with the...

Scoring blades run in the opposite direction of the main blade. That way the tooth makes the cut on the way into the material instead of on the way out. Without a sliding table, it would be very hard...

I'm fairly new to woodworking as a hobby and researched various bench ideas. I was fairly set on buying the FAT 300 as a portable bench and out feed support. I planned to make my own top out of...

Glad to hear you enjoy it. I’m fairly new to the hobby and working to build my shop out over the next year. One of the first things I bought was an adjustable bench. I liked it so much that a month...

You have plenty of room for separates. Depending upon your budget, at the very least I'd go for option 3. That's what I have.

I don't mean to take us too far off topic, but I'm looking to purchase my first 1" resaw blade for a Felder FB510. I've read quite a few positive reviews on the Woodmaster CT and Trimaster. I'd...

I learned this lesson the hard way a couple weeks ago. Was holding off on an item that I didn't need right away, anticipating the 10% off sale held each December. Well, October rolls around and the...

10g over copper can be done, but most enterprise gear is run over fiber or short DAC patches. Lower power consumption and high compatibility between endpoints is the primary driver. Previously when I...

Seems like we all agree here that 4 is better than three, especially if you need to remove a wheel for tooling clearance. To address Ken’s point, if the 7 wheel feeder were the same price as the 4...

I’m not sure what your current network topology looks like, but personally I’d go with fiber in conduit. Virtually unlimited bandwidth for future expansion and zero interference. I installed a few...

I’m not sure how many small parts I’m planning to send through. I’ll have to see where the hobby takes me. My instincts tell me if a part is that small, there is likely a better way to feed it...

At what length stock do you feel the DC70 would have an advantage over the DC40? I'm thinking I could just remove the center wheel on the DC70 if I needed a little extra space for the larger cutters....

I recently ordered a Comatic DC70 power feeder, (with Smart Stand) but was thinking of a last minute change to the DC40 instead. I've been told the larger wheels on the DC40 provide increased...

Joe,

I'm in the process of building out a hobby shop in my basement and recently purchased a Felder KF700s (moving it from garage to basement next week). I'm planning to build furniture and...
