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.

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...

I finally did it... Grizzly G1033X 20" planer....
Thread Starter: Terry Hatfield

Only one mortise chisel?
Thread Starter: Jason Sellers

Thickness planer board return ideas
Thread Starter: Jeff Roltgen
Just put a new SCM nova s520 into service. Would like to return workpieces from outfeed to infeed side via top, and this new machine has a huge 31x46" hood, 2mm thick steel, well reinforced, 4mm thick hinges and attachment welded inside, which leads me to believe it's expected to be used this way....

Which alloys for machining

It might be overkill but you could use 4140 for both parts. It's strong machines well and will take bluing. It's what the barrel of your M1 is probably

Interesting old video of General International servicing a bandsaw

Interesting video...I thought the guy resawing the 2x4 in half (freehand) was kind of funny. You're making a video about the expertise of your staff,

Outdoor Oil

I've found teak to be just about the only wood that holds oil or any finish for any decent amount of time (outdoors). Meaning, consider the substrate.

What infuriated me was the mortising chisels I bought were made in Germany, so they got be good, right? And were advertised as imperial sized, but ...
