was thinking the exact same thing.

That’s just reg ol’ birch plywood NOT BALTIC BIRCH ! In fact , what their SKU describes is C2 grade and it’s not even 3/4” thick though it’s...

I find these intriguing: ...

OMG, how can one use a bandsaw with an unaligned miter slot ? :confused: :rolleyes: What if the bandsaw doesn't have a miter slot ? Some of...

Your saw is toed-in or out most likely. Could also be that the fit is sloppy on the guide rail and you’re toeing it when you push. re-check...

So, is this a professional shop with multiple people working at the same time with tools connected by a sizable duct system ? If so, neither the...

Not entirely correct. I believe the 89x was the followup to the 690 series. 7/8529 were more extensions to the lineup to compete with other...

I think NYW was Norm - when he retired the show's days were numbered.

Doubt you're doing anything wrong - you've just subscribed to MF's and other's new view (erroneous in my opinion) that you should align the blade to...

can't imagining that being what most would call "affordable plywood "

um……….how many machines can you operate at once ?

that’s just the cen-tec hose being discussed above (with an Infinity markup added )

Looking good. I’ve been meaning to ask you if your jurisdiction required you t9 paint the exposed foam with intumescent paint ?

Mag fence is idiotic in my view. every time you want to change the cut width , you’re gonna be futzing with the alignment , drift ,...

To be fair, and accurate............................PC started going downhill in the 60's when Rockwell bought them and introduced a homeowner lineup...

FYI The set up jig works on bit other than infinity too.

It's a quality control issue because that design/part has been on their routers for over three decades. I've never had an issue with either of mine,...

For me it's $300. But it's all down to market conditions and YOU. I'd STRONGLY advise going with an 8" jointer .

This is just another LT tool fueled more by marketing wank than real engineering in my opinion. It’s basically one of their short cyclones set in...

The collar for those “should” fit a 1.25 hose but I don’t know. Centec sells those with a nice long hose for around $45 so you might look into that...

Not interested in the guard , have a Shark too - but I am curious about the crank on your Unifence.

So , it seems to be a question / decision point around : Do I like the Jets slightly bigger (but thinner) table with slots -vs.- the instant and...

Order the Tenryu blade curt linked on big river and get to cutting.

If you’ll call or look on the laminate co.’s websites - they’ll point you to your local distributor who specializes in that. Should still be one or...

this might be a better option, especially if you have other hard to fit ports: ...
