How loud are these little pneumatic sanders?

Hi Derek do you have an pics of getting the drill press in the mobile base? Looking for ideas as I have a bandsaw to put in one.

Hi Brian I have a 150mm Mirka Ceros - now replaced by the Deros. The difference is that the Deros has an integrated transformer, and is a little...

Phil, this configuration makes me think it can run the risk of rounding over the blade. As you move the base of the diamond stick in and out on the...

I should have moved this thread long ago, but thanks to Jim and Phil for hanging in. I've just fashioned a jig base with a 25º bevel like Paul...

I was expecting that you'd receive a promising (hopefully) response from the seller. I ship stuff out 3-4 times a week, and about twice a year I get...

William, I know ....I know ... :o I shall do a test on the run out on my copy, and then decide. The chuck I have works so well ... if it is not...

Jim, thanks for the compliment. I plan to add the Wixey laser this weekend. I am wondering whether I can also configure it with a straight,...

Hi Tony My favourite of the forstners are the Colts, which are made in Germany. Lee Valley sell these. I purchased some from them and others...

Rewatched Paul's video and answered my own question. He just threads the bolt into the hardwood.

The seller has actually admitted it was their fault, and they say they will arrange pickup. They have been pretty responsive so far.

You can run a PP on a smaller breaker, it just reduces the output. I run a 30 hp PP on a 175 breaker which maxes out a 200 amp panel but it produces...

Phil. thanks. Yes, I've seen the Sellers jig as in your photo. It's a bit more complex than Jim's, but would take care of squareness and wobble. ...

I have the Tico Voigt ramped shooting board working with the LV shooting plane. A joy to use and IMO you can't go wrong with LV tools. However,...

I made a shooting board for the LN shooting plane. Striking a blow against pure-blooded elitism, I used the Veritas track with it. I will post a...

I've built many a deck using 300 series SS screws, and the best way I found to keep the cam out issue at bay was: Pre-drill with an appropriate...

If you can afford one, the Albrecht chucki is the one you want. During my machinist apprenticeship, a friend bought one. The price was about $500...

Wow, I haven't seen that one before. I shall show it to Janicewhokeepsmehumble and tell her that is the look I am trying for. JWKMH has already...

Every night.

Thanks Bill. Your operating room vision of how this shop might turn out is putting the pressure on me to up my game. I don't have 4x8 space on...

There’s always this...makes me smile every time I look at this pic:

That is an impressive wall of tools with all your custom holders. On mine, the plywood is really two 2'x4' pieces of birch ply. The whole sheets...

I have had a Thien Baffle in my 3HP DC for several years. It does a pretty good job of collecting chips and larger sawdust. However, it allows a high...

I'll work on getting something more verbose written up this weekend and posted. Thanks for the interest
