Milling machine as a mortiser
Thread Starter: andrew whicker
Hi all, I don't look often, but when I do it seems there are absolutely no used mortising machines out there. Something I've always wanted (someday) was a knee mill. There's a place near me that has had a Cincinnati Contour Master for sale forever (years and years). They re build these...

Brads and finish nails in outdoor projects?

Other woods with unusual movement like seen in rainbow Poplar?

Maximat V-10. It's rather puny. No way a 5c could be used.
