    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.

    Shop Build...should be a fun journey...

    Thread Starter: Jim Becker

    I debated about starting this thread now or later, but decided on now because, well...I might forget something. :o As a little background, at our previous property, I was blessed with a reasonably sized, fully conditioned space for my shop in what was originally a three-and-a-half vehicle garage...

    What 10’ sliding saws should I consider?

    Thread Starter: Malcolm Schweizer

    I’m about to pull the trigger on a slider. I must have at least 8’ travel, but really want 10’. We have contact with a salesperson at Felder. I am seeing Makisawa has something at a lower price, but I know nothing about them. I know Laguna also makes a slider. The object of this post is mainly...

    Grit Automation Automatic Blast Gates - Automating my Dust Collection

    Thread Starter: Alan Lightstone

    I'm not a posting a review kind of guy, but this system and especially their level of tech support deserves this. And right off the bat, I have no association with Grit Automation, and paid full price for this system. So, after reading a short thread elsewhere about automatic blast gates, and...

    Minimax FS 41c vs Hammer A3-41

    Thread Starter: Josh Baldwin

    Hey guys so I'm about to pull the trigger on this and just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts. The Minimax is actually about $500 less or so and seems like the better machine from what I've read. The rep from Felder says otherwise of course, but just curious what you guys think. BTW doing...

    Current draw of planers with Shelix cutterheads

    Thread Starter: Anthony Whitesell

    I have changed the cutterhead of my Jet JWP-15CS from the straightblade to the Shelix. Now I am tripping the overload of the planer. I have a Centech clamp on planer and it reads 9A when idle and 17-19A when running 8-10 wide boards taking a 1/16" cut. I wish I knew what it drew prior to the...

    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. ...

    Here's my review of the Worksharp 3000 and Henry Taylor's paring chisels. I'm doing this because some threads I started recently have generated a lot of interest and I've been fielding a lot of PMs and e-mails about these two products. ...

    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".

    220/240 volt advantages?

    If the motor has the option to be wired for 120V, independent of who does the wiring, and is UL listed then it is UL listed in both 120V and 240V configurations.
