    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.

    What 8" jointer would you get and why?

    Thread Starter: Alden Peterson

    I think I'm finally going to pull the trigger on an 8" jointer. I don't have one right now and I'm tired of having to planer sled/table saw sled for jointing and not getting perfect cuts on those anyways. Prices are all over the place between brands. I'm wanting helical and probably...

    S7 or Exact 63?

    Thread Starter: Albert Lee

    Good day I have an opportunity to upgrade my Felder AD951 to something bigger, I have been wanting to separate the jointer and thickness planer for sometime. I am considering SCM L’Invincibile S7, and Felder/Format Exact 63. Luckily both machines are in stock and available for...

    Need for crosscut sled?

    Thread Starter: Steve Mathews

    After watching the video below I'm questioning the need for my crosscut sled. It seems that mine rarely gets used in favor of an Incra miter gauge, which I find easier to handle than the bulky and heavier crosscut sled. The only complaint with the miter gauge is it doesn't stay square or at least...

    Using a ground as a neutral

    Thread Starter: Wade Lippman

    The VFD on my 120v Jet 1642 lathe burnt up and I would like to replace it with a 240v VFD. (they are smaller, cheaper, and more dependable than 120v) The only problem is that the tach requires 120v. I can put it on a separate 120v circuit, but that seems so inelegant. I would like to run a hot...

    Do you have a whole house surge protector?

    Thread Starter: dennis thompson

    I’m thinking about getting a whole house surge protector. I’d appreciate any input from those of you who have one or anyone who has any info on them. Thanks

    Lighting the Small Workshop
    By Jack Lindsey

    "Ten years have passed since I wrote the Fine Woodworking article on lighting the small shop," Jack Lindsey explains, but much has changed. Jack comprehensively explores lighting a hobbyist or small industrial shop, drawing on over 25 years of professional lighting experience, covering topics such as fixture and ballast selection, lamp life, and color when employing fluorescent lamps.

    Paving the driveway

    Concrete for driveways isn't a popular choice around here for whatever reason. Asphalt paving and various types of gravel are what you see; the latter

    Praise for upgraded dust collection setup!

    There is no reason that gates should leak at all. A 6" aluminum blast gate costs about $25 and leaks ??? My 6" blast gates slide and do not

    What do you use 2" long 23 ga pins for?

    A cordless pinner is an interesting thing, but given how I use my pin nailer, often in tight spaces, the "heftier" size of a cordless unit might

    Larry, you make a good point about the cost of blast gates and it's certainly reasonable to expect them to be relatively leak free. But the nature of

    Yeah. I can see that being the case.
    I'm sort of leery of my 1 1/4" 18 ga. finding its way where it shouldn't be going.

    Thanks
