    Time for some levity

    Thread Starter: Dave Anderson NH

    With all of the negativity and political stuff going on with the Covid-19 virus it is time to look at the humorous side of things. Feel free to add more, but keep it clean or it will be deleted.

    new bandsaw wont' cut straight

    Thread Starter: Forrest Gon

    My first bandsaw, a new rikon 10-3061, set it up according to the manual and various youtube tutorials such as Alex Snodgrass's method (align the blade, tension the blade, thrust bearings and side guides) Now the issue is: the saw just won't cut straight, it will pull the wood off the fence...

    Cost effectiveness of a slider vs. tracksaw & tablesaw

    Thread Starter: Jonathan Jung

    I thought about posting this to the business section, because I'd really like input from professionals who use their shop as a business. For those of you who make $ or even a living making furniture or cabinets, how long does it take for a sliding table saw to pay for itself compared to a track saw...

    Thread Starter: Terry Hatfield

    After debating and agonizing over it for years, I finally dove in and bought a Grizz G1033X Byrd spiral head 20" planer. UPS Freight delivered it today. Everything arrived in perfect condition. Super nice driver and my new best friend Levi wrestled it onto his pallet jack as the pallet isn't wide...

    Only one mortise chisel?

    Thread Starter: Jason Sellers

    I’ve seen it suggested by several woodworkers that you can get by with a single mortise chisel, e.g., 1/4 or 5/16. I’m interested in building shaker style furniture, and there are many 1/2 mortises. Many tables have a 1 1/2 leg, so that would be a 1/2 mortise using the rule of one third. That seems...

    3-Phase vs Single Phase Equipment

    Thread Starter: Michael Zerance

    My new location does not have 3-phase service so I will be installing a phase converter to power my sanders, spray booth fan, and some other smaller pieces of equipment. I am leaning hard towards the Phase Perfect. For new equipment purchases, when there is an option for either single phase or...

    I purchased my Grizzly G0658 back in 2009. At the time I was a novice wood turner and I did not give any thought to whether I needed reversing capability on a lathe. I have since added a JET 1642VS-2, which has reverse, to my lathe cell. Having found that reverse is a handy feature after using the Jet for a while I decide it would be nice to have it on the Grizzly. ...

    I recently ordered a few new gouges from Thompson Tools. Doug is a great guy to deal with and I will definitely order from him again. Since I’m on a tight budget and needed handles for my new tools, I decided to build my own. At first I was going to make some nice wood handles but then I thought aluminum would look nice. ...

    About 5-6 months ago I wanted to turn a piece of Cholla, but there wasn't any solid wood to center on to. It took me about 30 minutes to come up with what I call a "Chuck Plate".

    The link below is my review of the 62" Excalibur Sliding Table I purchased in 1999. More than productivity the principal reason for purchasing a slider was safety.



    Over eighteen months ago we purchased an Excalibur sliding table as an add-on for our shop table saw ...

    I'm pretty sure that Tenryu makes the blades for makita. If it is a Tenryu, they make quality blades. No experience with that saw through.
