I did a bunch of research in the last year on miter saws. I previously had a big Dewalt 12" sliding-compound miter saw. This was huge and extremely...

There are actually a lot of videos on youtube for "single car garage shops" that may influence how you do your shop layout/organization. They may be...

Hi David. Thanks for posting all your pics and details on that Hougen. In my research, Hougen is one of the top brands for mag drills, but...

I have actually already tried that. First, it's really difficult to find a router bit that is long enough to reach 2-1/4" down. Second, the two...

The Milwaukee I rented from Sunbelt was not the MT3 version. It was the model with the 3/4" chuck built into the motor. The slide was really loose...

See the following thread. I have already gone through the "drill guide" options with poor results (see where I picked up in the following thread). ...

This weekend's effort was renting a smaller magnetic drill from a local place. They had a Baileigh MD-3500. It's a single-speed motor that is...

The Hammer edge sander is great! I've used it a lot and I think it's a very sturdy machine for being a "Hammer" line product.

Hi Bob. The stock dust collection on the 735 works generally well, but it's not the best. However, it's a lot better than any other benchtop planer...

I use a Fantech LD-8 duct silencer on the output of my Pentz EF5. It's very effective. See below thread. You can actually chain two or three of...

Yes, I agree that the 735 is still a screamer. Seriously loud. I don't like using mine because of that reason and I look forward to the day I'm...

Arizona Wood Studio on Etsy actually makes a lot of different duct/port adapters. I asked for this a few months ago and he designed and printed up a...

Okay, so I rented the Milwaukee from a local Sunbelt. Unfortunately, this is not so good of an experience. The bad part was the drill had such...

If you are in a residential neighborhood, you will likely be violating noise constraints and creating a problem for your neighbors. If you are out...

"The fence also skews to the right, but at a shallower angle: only about .007 along the same span (0.036" for the whole length of the fence ...

Oh, one more thing. When you are loosening/tightening the bolts, I would only loosen them like 1/5 or 1/4 of a turn. When you re-tighten, you...

Actually, I would not touch the toe-out for the rip fence at all. It is actually recommended to have just a tiny bit of toe-out for the rip fence. ...

What you are measuring is the toe-out adjustment. A measurement of 0.012" is pretty high. You generally don't want a toe-out more than 0.004" to...

My understanding is that benchtop jointers are definitely a step down from a normal full sized jointer. If you are doing small piece, it is likely...

I see several people trying to recommend big 3HP and 5HP Oneida/Clearvue cyclones. While these are definitely superior solutions, they are...

All four of those choices will filter dust particles well, but I do have some thoughts. I would probably NOT choose the Supercell. While it is a...

After some thought, I think the cutters are just fine and square. I think the piece is tilting down or up as it's being moved through the cutter. ...

This is a really hard problem. I took a screen shot of the material just before Albert pulled it back through the cutters. It looks like the tenon...

If your looking for a magnetic power switch, you can get them relatively cheap on Amazon: ...

The knobs allow you to move the ruler from one end of the RED support to the other (like a t-track). It allows for different support points on your...

I use the Incra T-Rule set and it's excellent. This model has both imperial and metric holes and is very precise. I have had to scribe a very...

I looked at both Oneida and Clearvue collectors when I did my project last year. They both look like really good products and I could have chosen...
