Why did you go with 30A circuits when it appears 20A would be sufficient? I ask because I'm making that decision myself and although I don't plan on...

What Jaws would be a good starting point for with a VM120 chuck?

No, I have the same plugs on several 240V tools and have never had an issue with the plug coming out during use.

I've seen this video. Great job!

Thank you. It appears you can't use the twist lock type of outlets with that type of plug or can you?

My 2436 came with a molded on plug

Allen, but thank you and glad to hear it

A few notes on my process in case it helps others in a similar boat: ~I really liked the Grizzly G0800 but they don't make it anymore. ~If I...

Looking good, can't wait to see it all filled up.

UPDATE: And the winner is... I've ordered the Laguna 2436 and 3" riser block kit and the ETA is reasonable. I spoke with a number of people...

I would most likely put the vertical tracks evenly spaced, so if you had a 24" wide table with the router center at 12", my tracks would be at 6" and...

Makes sense. I could see drilling with a Forstner bit to provide ideal space for the adjustable feet - or- remove the feet altogether and bolts into...

Reed also brought up 4x4s on another forum and it seems plausible. Wouldn't having some steel plates or something be stronger? I don't know. I did a...

I'm down to the PM3520C or the Laguna 2436. The max spindle height from floor is a key number for me. PM3520C specs I read are "Spindle height...

I've bought two Hammer machines, about a year apart, from the east coast sales person. My experience was the same as Lisa's, put a deposit down...

Cool, I just installed 6 pair of Grass Dynapro 2D slides two days ago. My first time using them, they appear to be very nice.

I'm still new to turning and so only have accumulated about 10 chisels and a couple of chucks, faceplates etc.. But my lathe tool storage had to...

I fired the safety brake for the first time yesterday in five years of ownership. This was a Dado brake cartridge. I'd installed it and...

I use this one Imperial version https://www.blocklayer.com/woodturning-segmentseng.aspx Metric Version...

My compromise to a slider, that I'd love to own, to perform this task.

I went ahead and ordered the #5 Badger tool and a Jimmy Clewes box scraper. Probably will order the swan neck version of the Badger tool. I can plug...

I have the floor standing PM719T mortiser, but a couple of months ago, bought the Pantorouter. I've done mortises in fine furniture, box joints...

Thank You, much appreciated. Now I'll have a go at sharpening it.

Which Hunter tools are in the far left (top photo)? I want to get a couple Hunter tools to hollow boxes and begin trying some hollow forms. I've...

I have had a couple of homemade goes at this and recently bought the new Woodpeckers drill press fence. I already had their early version of the...

And yet, we have no idea, for members of this forum, what part of the world you reside from your profile

Great info, thanks Mick. In fairness, the PM hadn't been used at all and the 1836 was worn significantly as a demo / floor model.

Update: I checked out a Laguna 1836 (I'm considering the 2436) and PM3520C side by side today at Woodcrafters. My observations: Powermatic vs...

I go backwards and forwards on the idea of the mats, so instead I prefer good shoes/boots. The comfort is there for each foot all the time,...
