Mike, I have the Vermec, ordered directly from Australia. At the time the US distributor didn't expect to have any for a few months - it turned...

Hi - These are difficult times to be a manufacturer in our industry. There are supply and labor disruptions at virtually every point in the...

Me things that folks are taking my statement too strongly and yes, we are not going to get into geopolitical discussion here. My tongue-in-cheek...

Seems to be "Hammer time" for a bunch of folks right now. I guess their ship came in. LOL. Congrats on your new tools!

If you need that cutting height then I think you're going to find 1hp very lacking. Also check the table size. It looks to be a clone of the Harbor...

Frank really does like his radial arm saws...but his approach is also "set it and forget it" for most of them. Personally, I might consider an...

They seemed to have dealt with the Claro Walnut used in this project reasonably well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv6A05yKgiQ

Beautiful table - I really like the walnut wedges.

You can do the work on a cope and stick door...it's messy and "not fun" but the molded in profile can be routed away and replaced with similar...

I have ...er...5. Down from 9. I have embraced the Frank Howarth approach.

Mike, I have owned the Vermec Jig for a few years and I concur with what Mike said about it. I compared it to others and thought the build...

Any normal light will be controlled by the wall switch. There may be some oddballs with touch switches or such that have to be physically turned on...

And yet you are responsible for maintaining that sidewalk.

My mistake , the CV 1800 is a 5 HP motor . It is priced like a 3 HP Onieda , but I thought it was 3 HP .

Yup...easements and right-of-way come into play everywhere. The designated property boundaries in the deed often will lie within those easements and...

Great response David ! Very few guys remain w/ single stage collectors . Keeping the filter clean is the key . Bill Pentz suggests 800 CFM to...

Didn't know that a Good number of you guys have a Prusa. I started off about 3plus yrs ago with a Tevo tarantula. I still use it occasionally for...

It's probably a tough situation in your geography, but if by chance there are any retailers that handle Festool in your area, go there and put them...

Sounds like you were told correctly. Your property does extend to the road. Only it is to the road right of way which is always wider then the...

I've got the Shapeoko XXL. Added the HDZ soon after. It is an OK machine, but it IS most assuredly a hobby machine. It uses just a router. It...

Hybrids are a nice solution for anyone who wants to move toward the cabinet saw style but has either power restrictions (120v required) or limited...

Congratulations! What a wonderful way to have your skill recognized!

Good points as most that documented their builds say the wish they had gone with a thinner design that is easily removed. I saw Mike Farrington's...

A "full' cord is 4'x4'x8'. You get three face cords from a full cord. Most folks ordering firewood use the term cord when they really mean face...

A good a place as any to tell this brief story: years ago, before I got into woodworking, I commissioned some furniture for our new house. During the...

The math is easy enough. Figure phi X 14= 43.96 inches. So 44 inches per wheel revolution. 44/12=3.666 feet bandsaw speed for wood is around 3000...

Kevin -- I don't know about Mike, but I was not aware of the Clark sphere turning jig. It does allow you to turn a larger sphere than does the Vermec...

I have and love my Vermec sphere jig for the same reasons David has stated very clearly. I originally made a HD one from steel and Aluminum and if...

Thanks Kevin - I just checked out the Clark system and don't see that it has a "fine" depth adjustment, which is important to me. I sure appears to...
