Hey Per,
What are the dimensions from each wall to the end of the bar? I am wondering as I have a tight space for something that large but it is hard for me to tell the scale of the one you...
Gregg,
I have their 8" jointer and have been very pleased with it. THe customer service is very good and the machine has performed very well. THe only issue I have had is one that would happen...
I have a different view of the show as far as why I go. I do not expect any great deals on tools or services. I do go to see what vendors are trying to push and why. I try to pick up a few good...
Dennis,
I cannot help you with what micro router is but I have taken a class or two with David Marks regarding inlay and double bevel marquetry. When he does the inlay work he will use a router...
If I had the initial funding there is no question I would buy a SawStop. However, there are some valid concerns that I do think have come up but that still would not deter me from buying the saw.

Well I jumped in with both feet when I came across what I believe to be a great deal on one year old Festool equipment. I was able to purchase the ATF55 e-plus, guide rails of 1400/2 and 2700/2, the...
Jim,
I am due to tune up mybandsaw and if I get to it tomorrow I can let you know as I have an E16 as well. If I do not get to i, I have the week of Thanksgiving off and will definitely get to it...
Jody,
I have the Jet 1442 and I believe it will do everything you are asking above and be closer to the $800 range. I wish it had electronic variable speed but that will have to wait for me. It...
Richard,
I believe you meant 1 cubic inch per body pound and I believe that is correct based on the information located http://theurnstore.com/information.html

Rocky,
Instead of seeing the class as how it is not applicable to small boxes and bookcases go in thinking of how you could incorporate the two. Can't you see creating a box that is held aloft by...
If you need a more "orange" red you may also look at some Padauk. I just made a nice bow saw and have this as the crosspiece and it was extremely orangey red more so than I have seen before. If you...
Matt,
Since you are using the EZ you might want to check out this thread:

This is talking about jointing...
Lori,
it is great that you are asking but because you are asking if something is safe, you pretty much answered it yourself. Anytime I am working and I question the safety of what I am about to...
Chris I am far from a band saw guru but based solely on the information you provided there are two things that I would check. They would be to see if your band saw wheels are coplanar and if your...
I wood agree with Lee. They are very much instructor dependent. My first exposure to turning was through the classes and I have enjoyed them all. However, I will say that there are a few I probably...
Well I might as well add on to this as I have yet to post on one of these threads. I am both an EZ user and soon to be a festool user (sanders to start.) I use my EZ system with a Porter-Cable Mag...
Dave,
I am glad everything worked out OK for you. One of the best things I think this should reinforce is to have an extinguisher readily available that works. Please remember to check your fire...
I bought the master system and really like having the dust collection when doing a lot of cabinet construction. I am in the middle of a built in project and when drilling 150-200 pocket holes for...
Shelley,
Congratulations!! Just another point of view is that there may not be that many people who will stay for an entire day (or maybe they will.) With that inmind I would think a couple of...
Steve,

That is one beautiful table! Awesome work.
Everytime you buy a tool or anything else for that matter these four items will always come into play. The first thing is usually how much money can I spend and what do I need.
You start to...
Jim,
Not sure what your budget is but you can get the Fuji Q4 for 20% off (making it approximately $700) by using the "paints20" code to save 20% on paint supplies.
Just thought it might be...
I had the shark guard with my delta contractor saw and was very pleased with it. I have since upgrade to a different saw and use a delta snap in splitter. Because I already have that splitter I am...
