There are several different track profiles. The Freud track is probably the most common and a lot of other brands pretty much directly copy it. ...

I usually do stuff like that when I have spent a long day in the shop and "just want to finish one last thing". Overly tired = stupid mistakes.

I agree with Jim. If the dust collector can move the dust from the machine port near the floor up to the ceiling it should not have any problems...

Unless you post your property and create a physical barrier, local law enforcement will do nothing. The level of the offense is at best a...

Not the ASME study Malcome referred to but came across this one while looking. Worth a read in my opinion. Here's a quote from it "Climate solutions...

Malcome, I'm confused. You said in an earlier post "If we avoid the serious environmental issues and kill 3,000,000,000 humans is that a good trade?...

Another zombie thread woken from a decade ago. Looking through this again, imo, that isn't a Stanley plane except for the lever cap. For typing...

Craig, I was looking at the drawings on the patent website. So you replaced that little coil spring under the halfnut? If so, I agree that it sounds...

I do not think my examples are not exactly correct. I think the tonnage is not carbon burned but tons of co2 produced. Still the same idea just...

Yeah, I had thought about those rare moments when I need to straight cut an 8 foot sheet. I would have to step down on the slider model and I would...

Well played, Jim. Well played.

Hi John, I wish someone would buy your bevel up smoother! I keep looking at it and I don't need another plane but that one is really, really nice. ...

As always, very clever design and beautiful craftsmanship Kiyoshi. Thanks for sharing.

thank you for the insights gentlemen. Don, I will look for the FB group on the Longmill.

DRO on xcut and Rip are life changing 😂. It’s fine without but once you have them there is no going back. I can screw up a part 3 weeks later and cut...

I have a better answer. Google Tucker vise patent to find all of the various drawings. Perhaps you might find a clue there? Greg

I am on my second Felder combo with the 2020 slider. I tell myself I would have preferred a 3.0m slider to allow use of air clamps on a full sheet,...

My mind is like an "old fashioned steel-jawed bear trap." Rusty and illegal in 37 states. jtk

My six year old grandson suggested a motion detector that would activate sprinklers.

Glad you brought that up, I will be more than likely sub the milling out it’s about 500 bft and that will reduce the time and a lot of sweet. I don’t...

my grandmother had an American persimmon tree and used to bring over bags of ripe fruit. Those were more like dates as I recall. The Asian (fuyu)...

The difference is, some people accept that mistakes are inevitable....some don't.

Good 'tip'....! Woodcut (makers of the Tru-Grind BG jig) make a profiler... ...

What's the saying? "My projects are all one of a kind because I don't make the same mistake twice" or something similar to that. The person that...

If you are trying to remove the cloudiness, you can try an automotive polish as Jim suggests. I've had luck with 3m ultrafine machine polish to...

SYP never looked so good. I would never have guessed it could look so good stained dark but by golly it does. Now about those pocket screws! ...

Tell us more about how you did those leg corner joints. Very interesting. John
