Thanks everyone and "d*mn you" for failing to provide the validation for my lazy man's approach :-) But seriously, thanks for all the generosity...

Good deal? Under $500 if it works great.

Thanks for the advice so far. I think I'll go check it out. I know what he is asking $ and I know what I would like to pay but.... If it all...

I have that planer and it is solid. Griz has parts!

The idea of building a hard maple Roubo with mainly hand tools makes my whole body hurt. You might want to consider a different material if...

Yes, cherry is expensive! I'm matching some other wood in the room and in my staining test the cherry matched better than alder. All the cherry will...

I was taught to avoid back wiring where significant vibration is present (Clothes dryers, Washing machines) and to employ pigtails for greater...

Not everywhere. If I find a wire nut used on my projects on anything except a lighting circuit, I'll ask the foreman not to allow the offending...

What size groove are you panning on making? A 1hp feeder is a great thing but I can't see it being needed on a table saw. I've used on on my...

I just sold mine G1021. It was a solid planer every day I owned it, and was still going strong when I replaced it with a J/P combo machine. My dust...

Well, Jim, I might offer to "trade" your saw for my Hammer K3, but I think your saw is bigger than my whole shop. To say nothing of the fact that I...

Best wishes on your move jim.I don’t envy the job moving all your shop tools but I am sure you have a plan for the new shop.good luck.

I have a vernier protractor.

That's a good idea. I can only place the hardwood at the end of the jaws (to have room to measure). When I do that, I see 90.5 degrees. So almost a...

Just had to laugh at 'it's missing that sleek European design'... I've been involved in the engraving business since 1966, full-time since 1976;...

Sounds like you have a plan. Sharpening saws is gratifying and empowering.

Thank you, David. But it makes me nervous spending that much money. Right now I'm in a state of mental paralysis.

If it's a bench just buy some mold killing paint.

Never seen acoustic panels made so large

Im too busy to do any cold calling right now and haven’t needed to for a few years. Like most things, use your best judgement for what will work...

You can always make a dust port if needed. Grizzly may still sell parts for it. I would bring some rough cut lumber and run a couple pieces through...

Look under general settings and make sure you have "save a copy of sent messages" ticked. While you're there, check that all the other message...
