I have one purchased new in 2000 with Unifence and table extension. It has the made in America sticker and the model/SN tag also shows made in USA. Still love that saw. And I would never change...

Here's one I made for my Mother's ashes. Very simple and could have been adapted to a top opening box for interim use. This one had a fixed top and the bottom was screwed onto the sides after the...

Before retirement, I was an engineer in the...
I found out the hard way that one of the most common problems of alignment offset is caused by not having the dovetail bit perfectly centered in the router's guide bushing. I tried all sorts of...
I've used this saw guide for many years in crosscuts and ripping sheet goods to size. It's basically a zero-clearance guide. You can make shorter versions for shorter cross cuts so it isn't so...
I made one years ago out of 3/4" oak and walnut, at the same time I made a matching knife block for LOML. She loved the look of the contrasting wood. The cutting board was a pull-out in our kitchen...
Back in the 70s and 80s, I recall buying Craftsman blades that were advertised as "hollow ground planer" blades. This was before carbide tipped blades became popular. The claim for these blades was...
I'm surprised nobody puts this in their manual. I had similar issues years ago with a PC look alike jig sold by Hartville. Great looking and fitting dovetails but the tops of front and side boards...
I've been using a Freud LU91R010 for a number of years on my old Craftsman RAS. It's a 60 tooth thin kerf blade with neg 5-degree hook designed for Sliding Compound Miter Saws....
Nice technique Lee. I saw another method years ago where the person made a sled to hold the panel at the desired angle and it simply was pushed along the fence with the blade in its normal 90-degree...
Pretty simple DIY project. Here's a good example using stuff I found on ebay and Amazon. Square-D size 0 contactor for $30 on ebay already had a 115 volt coil. I used a Wifi outlet as a remote...
Regarding those Delta motors rated at different horsepower, depending on whether it was configured for 115 or 230 volt operation, I have one of those saws and still use it today. You'll note that...
Back in 2001, I bought a Jet JJ6csx closed stand 6" jointer for just under $500. Finally soid it this past year. I had guys fighting to get there to pay me $750. This same jointer model is still...
Just sold my old Jet JJ6-CSX closed stand jointer. I bought it 20 years ago for $499. I had people tripping over each other to get it for $725. It was in nice shape but these prices are obscene.
I want to make a shadow box type display case for my son's medals. I'm not sure what the normal backing is for a display case. I was leaning toward fabric covered foam board to attache the medals...
Bies splitter has just dropped in price to $107.99 at Amazon. That's the lowest I've seen it anywhere.
I hear nothing but good about the SD-508 super dado but at twice the price of the SD-208 Professional Dado, I'm haveing a hard time justifying the add'l money for something I don't use that often....
Just finished having my floors redone. My outfit used the Mega and applied four coats. Looks great. My understanding is that Mega is not exactly water based, it's water-bourne. Water bourne...

Use a metal cutting chop saw. If you don't wnat to buy one, just rent one. I just went through this outfitting a local Boy Scout Troop trailer with steel angle shelving supports. I borrowed a chop...
Make sure your trunnion tie rods are parallel before trying to align the saw blade to the miter slot. If you don't, the bevel cuts will never align properly.
Here's the Delta Instructions for...
I think it should stay as it is now. Too many specialty forums would tend to split up the membership or "community" as it's referred to. I frequent some other engineering related tech forums where...
