It's not just the cost increase or environmental benefits, they simply do not make viable battery powered alternatives to many SORE powered machines that are in the gap.

I'm all for small mowers...

There are benefits to be sure BUT at present, the technological reality we're in has a big hole in it and the proposed benefits can't actually be realized just by saying so.

If the power goes off, a machine with a mag switch is physically disconnected from the power source. There is no "turning it off" it's already off.
It's off as soon as the power is gone. You can...

I missed the irony

I was referring to these
https://us.ecoflow.com/pages/solar-generators
The common name is solar generator or battery generator

Pet Peeve

There is no such thing as a battery powered generator, they are just batteries.

I really can't stand that the industry, in all their wisdom, started calling these battery banks,...

Yes
3/4' is typically better for resawing and 3 tpi is really all that saw needs.

With all due respect, this is not personal.
I think you're way off the mark.
I don't know how long or what kind of machinery you've been exposed to but your answer seems a little naive IMO

If a...

Not a Timberwolf fan but putting that aside, for resawing on that saw, I would go for a 3/4"- 3 blade.

Personally I would say that's a good price for everything I see in the photo.

A well made, close fitting joint, whatever it may be, requires less glue and is more important than how much pressure is applied.
As it's been mentioned, many times I've used rub joints when...

I have had momentary (less than ten seconds) power glitches. It gets your attention.
I have a mag power switch on my TS and RAS, the lathe VFD resets electronically, the other tools just have the...

I finally found a list that makes clear what is and isn't subject to the law. (my post above is incorrect)
You might think this information would be easier to find since the law went into effect...

IMO,
Currently, Battery is good up to about 10 hp. The big gap between 10 and 25 is where all the problems will occur, like the above mentioned generators and other machines that are needed for...

You mentioned a test, can you post a link to it?

As i was pointing out, if all you do is mow, blow & go, battery is a good choice.
IF you have extensive mowing (1+ acre) or heavier than "normal" residential work, then battery is not always the...

You do not need 4200lbs of pressure.
Your clamp provides pressure accross a wider area than just ONE square inch.
This may help you visualize ...

The cost alone is prohibitive, not to mention the lack of available equipment and the time needed to change out batteries and charge.

The only issue I would have with some of the solutions like Derek and Glenn shared, is that you need to remove them if you ever tilt the table. Hopefully this is not a hassle.
Thanks for showing the...

Ah children, I understand

I have a few rules that I follow when it comes to dust collection.
If you can't get it at the source, keep it contained as much as possible and don't fight gravity.
A small bag type dust collector...

Derek, I think you'll find that with a little deeper inspection and a little controlled persuasion, that the blade does indeed move. It may have simply been in the current position for many decades....

"safety switch' is a generic term.
Bill's method will work for power interrupt switches like magnetic.

For those little yellow "keys" and lockouts, they're just nonsense. They do nothing other...

Was this guys business rehabbing old planes or did he just want them all to himself?
I get the chisels, they have a wide variety, the planes look to be be quite a lot of the same.

While I have no interest in sustainers, I find your situation and solution to be very altruistic.
