Nice touch and good way to integrate the CNC into the job ;-)

Lee Valley 12” and 36” steel have met my needs for almost 20 years.

This is exactly what I do. I shellac the whole jig and wax the shellacked bottom. I have a sled that I have run for nearly 15 years. I...

I'm also a fan (oops, I made a funny). I have the no longer made JDS 750 that Rikon made under the 62-1100 designation for a while after JDS quit. ...

My personality makes me see red if I have to paw through things to get at what I am after. Certainly there are exceptions but I try to save these for...

Hopefully most of us on here have been at it long enough to know that this is a thing. I have a lidded pail that I half fill with water and throw...

+1 on sandpaper for small chamfers. The example you show . . . I would avoid using that piece of material for just the problems you are having. ...

I have a good complement of the Match-Fit stuff. I have historical uses of t-track and do not see leaving that behind. If I were...

Beautifully done. I have done a few of these and they are indeed the place that I use that special piece of material that I have been hanging onto...

Spindle sander is what I have used on 4" pipe. I found it easier to heat gun the pipe and push it onto the nipple. This can be easier with the gun...

I ran 2 in my previous shop. Used them near-daily for about 17 years without failure. They still worked when I packed them for the new shop but I...

Grant has a link in post #21. I have one of the Lee Valley and one of the Woodcraft versions. The Lee Valley are quite a bit nicer. I have a few...

Mine is a PCS so the cabinet config may be different. My tilt handle clearance slot: The holes for the factory mobile base on both sides: ...

I will just add that I have a few gauges. This model is my go-to.

Here's what I did. I used a jig saw to increase the size of the opening. I attached the shroud hose to the edge of the new opening and trusted to...

I can almost guarantee you that Tom will have your best answer once you answer his questions. It's not like he hasn't one or two of these :D.

I agree. In use TB-III seems to be just about the right balance for me. I guess it would have been smart for me to ask what his material was. Any...

I will take that as a serious compliment :). It is solid walnut outer frame with a 1/2" wide birdseye inlay about 1/8" thick and the inner frame is...

Titebond III has the highest viscosity of the three Titebond "wood" glues and will therefor require a greater clamping pressure or reduced glue...

The OXO is also good for opening the Mason jars I keep finishes in.

There has to be make up air in any captive space that is connected to a vac or a DC. I generally used the gap between the table and the cabinet of...

Beautifully done. Great explanation on the Maloof-ish joint. If you look at some of Sam’s larger pedestal tables, he also used straps and splines to...

Clamp storage as requested. Like Jim's recent thread on his shop build I tracked my new shop progress and I think the clamp rack build is on...

Sorry Brian. We sometimes don't realize we are being a little vague until we go back and read our own blathering :D. Yes, I was thinking from your...

Sounds like your saw is one of the "zip code" saws; a 22124, 22114, etc. These are indeed cabinet mounted trunnions. I have had a couple and they...

I didn't see a panel on the back. I saw a fold down surface. ???

I would just double (or as much as is doable) the height of the top and bottom rails. Without a face or back to provide surface tension, racking can...

Hmm, I may be the odd man out here but I find the Leigh jig to be nearly fool proof. The result you are showing makes me immediately question the...

I think you already have your answer but I will chime in. If I could only have one it would be a bandsaw. That being said, I use the tablesaw as a...

@Patty - I left solid guide pins behind back in high school. The friction of a 30k RPM bit is just too much for anything but a bearing IMHO. I...
