The DeWalt lawnmower takes two 20V batteries, and it needs them, with the 5 Ah batteries I can barely cut my lawn. They've doubled it in the new...

Same, seems like a good use of large-ish scraps. I put a couple of 1x1"s 16" long onto a piece of plywood, and run a 3" #12 screw through that into...

I've got a couple of carts, I don't think it matters that much what you do, as long as you can find stuff again. If you cannot find things, or it's...

Yes, at that point the saw blade is throwing some of the dust at 100 MPH to the side. Typical DC is moving air at a max of 40 MPH, so the DC loses. ...

I've tried both a floating over arm of my own design, and also the build in small port on the guard. My testing has shown the guard has a minor...

FWIW I got a reply back from Grizzly about their 17" band saw. According to them, their saw is made of 16 guage metal, which makes it 1/16th, far...

Hard to tell from looking at your diagram, so you may have thought of this already. I find it best to be able to put the jointer/planer "away" under...

FWIW, he made mention of this in his latest video. His comment was that plywood was a bad idea, because you wanted the grain all running vertically...

Alex, you raise some good points that I'm trying to weigh in my own mind. You could be correct that a DIY bandsaw is going to be a lot of extra work...

Thanks for the replies guys. I've currently got a Delta 14" from the 80s with a 3/4 HP motor. I installed a modified Grizzly riser block kit to...

@Lee I've got a good blade, no so sure about the belt tension on the motor. I have noticed it slowing down, but only if I try to feed too quickly,...

I've got a few suggestions. 1) While Grizzly has told you that they don't sell the assembly, they do sell parts, and you could part it out. I...

Built a sorter mobile rack. Just fits under my work bench. Made from 2 pieces of salvage oak from an old table top for the sides, and 2 pieces of...
