Are you trying to find out if it fits (attaches) or gauge performance ? Or both ?

yup............which is why i lead with :

If you're doing lots of lock miter work , ditch the shaper and get one of these....................then you won't need no stinkin jig or setup...

Nope................MDF takes paint beautifully. The edges can be a bear, but your design or build can eliminate that. Or hit them with vinyl...

If this is design - then there's no other way except to attach it to side panels. It won't be deep enough to reach the back wall to affix to the...

Table-saw or bandsaw for me. Just depends on which is easier to clean off when I need to cut a piece.

This is what I do too. Well , I usually go pick out the boards I need. I’ll also cut away the lighter colored sap wood which means more...

Well, it kinda depends on your definition of need. I think it does. In this instance the cabinet about is going to be shorter than it is wide...

This seems like you're letting (false) emotion cloud your decision. You had ruled this machine out a day or two ago. Why? Simply on price ? ...

was referring to the saw model …..pbs-440 , not the voltage. sorry for the confusion.

Was pretty sure the 440 was not three phase. My w.a.g. on the makita is $500-$1000. You gotta verify that the rollers are actually in good shape...

What do you hope to gain by sealing the paneling in the first place ?

+1 on the numbers. Only wrinkle is if you nick a few on metal embedded wood and have to rotate a those without doing the entire head.

Fellas (well most of you fellas) - the op has an old Elu designed and made in Switzerland 3hp router - not a Stanley / B&D BORG model. It’s got...

:eek:As long as you’re tooling up , ya might as well get a saw with conveyor return ; yes ? https://lagunatools.com/industrial/bandsaws/hrs-28hd/...

:rolleyes: good luck luck with that ! I'm in the camp with c.v.d ........................... get this instead: ...

You can get a cheap / used on for a couple hundred bucks. But most people (especially with no experience) are not going to be able to set up a VFD...

Since the saw already has a manual brake with motor switch it kinda makes the VFD feature moot. But you still get to pay for and program and...

more like 40+………….Rockwell’s Tool div. was sold off in the very early 80’s.

Unless you have three phase, that’s going to make that saw less of a deal. Or not one at all. And, a hassle . I’d double check that because...

I think that’s a typo - nearly 3/4 of an inch gap makes no sense to me. 1/16” on the other hand…….

NOT ACCURATE !The Laguna 16HD and the Bridgewood PBS are entirely different animals. Not really even close. The 16HD has a frame that is about...

Might very well be, I don't keep up with their stock.....................but I do know they will make you anything you want.

It's a paperback book more than a "catalog"

I don’t know of any airlines that issue a “boarding pass” before you reach the 24 hour window to departure. once you reach that you’ll have a...

My weapon of choice lately is a spokeshave. I have used a card scraper and chisel too and a rotex 90 sander has been handy too.

Try Elaire Corp. if you want a really good collet.

Not only that - the new "guy" is parts only. New machines aren't available stateside.

They are great if space is at a premium. The brands you listed are in order of quality, though SCMi is arguably as good as Felder. Hammer (a...
