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.

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.

Microsoft One Drive scam?

You must have better spam filters than my email provider. I see that frequently about many websites some of which I have never used.

Delta Unisaw Blade Guard

I’ve got a Shark Guard ARK on both my Unisaws. Excellent products. I had a pop up splitter before that and it worked well, but I wanted dust collection.

3-Phase vs Single Phase Equipment

This was my standard advice when I was in the biz:

Cockroaches are Evolving

I’m always amazed at evolutionary adaptations. Due to centuries of smallpox outbreaks in Northern Europe I have natural immunity to that disease
