I'm regards to the date codes, I would assume tires are much like the rubber hose business. The tires / hoses last much much longer than the mfgs...

Being a diesel truck owner when a set of tires costs 1500 or more, it makes you think twice about that saving 100. I used to buy really cheap...

Hi weogo I'm working on turning 2x6 construction material into a table top. Doing large boards is definitely a challenge. Especially edge jointing.

I second this. For my wife's rig we bought some general walmart special tires. Barely got 25k out of them.

Good to know. I've never ordered from them. Only know about them because I have a 113 saw and looked up upgrades once.

Doesn't matter now. Checked the Facebook listing to message the guy about going to look at it tonight and the listing says sold... I had messaged...

Thanks Eric

When I said I'd done a lot of tempered glass I meant 3 or 4 thousand pieces. I have another 500 coming this month. So far not a single break. ...

Phil Thank you for that. I just bought one from them. $11 and free shipping. Pretty good deal IMO

I do a lot of tempered glass and generally do not agree that laser engraving degrades it. Can you cause degradation--yes, but not by engraving it...

Thanks Will

I have the Richter's and they seem pretty good to me. I sharpen them with a medium diamond then, soft ark and hard black ark and both the arks seem...

Bump to the top.

Will, If one didn't have a wide chisel like that is it better to chop with the grain with say a 1" chisel (or whatever stock thickness is) or across...
