I've never used a track saw, are the tracks different between each brand? Right now I use a regular circular saw with an 8' Lufkin straight edge but...

The thread got off topic more than it was uncivil.

Both my garage doors have the jackshaft style openers. They are very quiet but require the door to be in good working order. If your door has the...

For me, getting really good at woodworking is not how well you can make something. It's being able to see the big picture. I often get focused on...

My father had one of them. One of the drive gears was plastic and would strip out if the springs weren't set up properly. After replacing it twice...

i got mine used before the price went crazy because I like milling lumber too. It's kind of like splitting wood. You have to pay attention to what...

Most of the hardwood places around her sell both rough and dressed lumber.

I've cut 1 1/2" solid hard maple with mine. I did it with a 1/4" endmill making .2" deep passes. I once made the mistake of changing the tool and...

I would go the opposite direction. Buy some nice QSWO and make the top out of solid wood. Nobody is going to remember in a couple generations that...

The quickest test would be to block the beam. All the ones I have seen will flash the interior light to indicate that the beam is blocked if you...

I assumed it was to help prevent theft. The entrance at Lowes or HD usually leads to the return desk. That makes it less likely someone would try...

If you think you will like it (it's not for everyone) then spend the money to buy a decent one. The first step is trying to figure out what you want...

I would start off by watching how people eat. The people who eat at my house don't use the back while eating. They lean forward slightly. Once...

I've seen plenty of them on Craig's list. I don't think they sell very well because most people want new. After all a table saw with a cast...

I haven't checked but I did read a headline saying the price of lumber is dropping fast. If we are headed into a recession the price to build...

I wonder how different it is to a Delta table. You should have no problems finding plenty of them used.

The dowels I picked up today fit nice and snug. I'll just get rid of the others so in a few years when I need some dowels I don't think I have...

I just drilled a 23/64" hole and the dowels fit very tight. Tight enough to need a hammer to get them in. You wouldn't think 1/64" would be that...

That sounds interesting. I could even use my hydraulic press vs a hammer. This is the first time I've worked with dowels but it's becoming clear...

I have a DowlIt jig for making the holes. It has screw in dies that are designed for 3/8" brad point wood bits. If I was to go down a size or two...

I have one of the HF sharpeners around somewhere. It works but the wheel is too aggressive. Anything more than the slightest touch and you'll...

It's up to you to figure out if it's worth doing but what I would do is get a dye penetrant kit and test the backside of the table to see if it goes...
