    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.

    new bandsaw wont' cut straight

    Thread Starter: Forrest Gon

    My first bandsaw, a new rikon 10-3061, set it up according to the manual and various youtube tutorials such as Alex Snodgrass's method (align the blade, tension the blade, thrust bearings and side guides) Now the issue is: the saw just won't cut straight, it will pull the wood off the fence...

    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...

    Only one mortise chisel?

    Thread Starter: Jason Sellers

    I’ve seen it suggested by several woodworkers that you can get by with a single mortise chisel, e.g., 1/4 or 5/16. I’m interested in building shaker style furniture, and there are many 1/2 mortises. Many tables have a 1 1/2 leg, so that would be a 1/2 mortise using the rule of one third. That seems...

    3-Phase vs Single Phase Equipment

    Thread Starter: Michael Zerance

    My new location does not have 3-phase service so I will be installing a phase converter to power my sanders, spray booth fan, and some other smaller pieces of equipment. I am leaning hard towards the Phase Perfect. For new equipment purchases, when there is an option for either single phase or...

    Lift lock and roll

    Thread Starter: Gregg Feldstone

    I wish I had bought the lift lock and roll mobility device which apparently is not made anymore. Does anyone know where I could get one or have one to sell? I need it for my PM 3520 B

    Only one mortise chisel?

    I have the Narex mortise chisels and they are definitely not what I expected. My first attempt making a rather large mortise in white oak was barely usable.

    3-Phase vs Single Phase Equipment

    I didn't think of it at the time, but my setup is very similar to yours in that I kept the dust collector and compressor on single phase. So they don't
