I often feel bad for the actual humans you eventually get to. By the time the menu system has put me through the ringer and I finally get to a...

You may have to start a spreadsheet matrix of all the suggestions as many of us will repeat things others have said. Like Jim and others I recently...

Great workmanship and materials. We used to call alder poor-man’s-birch when the price difference was wider. Very well done.

I am thankful for my wonderful neighbors every time I read one of these stories.

Planning ahead.

Definitely this. Too many posts about jointer adjustment processes that shouldn't have been started. :) The Grizzly G0490 manual will very likely...

Nice. I've done the DRO thing on my planers for many years. A real time saver.

Any board that has finish on it is finished on the other surfaces as well. For enclosed spaces like dressers or cabinets the inside is usually done...

An example of doing it production style.

This was my experience. The footprint isn't all that different and the 735 isn't really portable.

Another loss for the decent folks. We used to just call the bank to verify or go into a branch of the bank that the check was written against and...

My experience is like Mike W above. Every now and then I want an "invisible" pin that has a bit more heft and still use the 21 gauge on the odd...

Glad Russell recognized the planer. My info was way off.

Let me be clear about how you are measuring. You cut part way through a board using a guide and then measure the kerf at the entrance versus the...

Yes, sorry. I am trying to figure out if it is the saw, the blade, or a method issue. With a shallow cut and all else being done the same we remove...

I'd bet that planer is a close cousin to my G0453Z. Look at page 50. https://cdn0.grizzly.com/manuals/g0453z_m.pdf

I'm sure you picked up on the reaction to asking a client to pay for a problem with your product :rolleyes:. That aside, I may have missed it but...

I have used UHMW tape (slick-tape, drawer-tape, etc.) with good success. No complaints from any clients and no complaints from me as I have used it...

Lots of voo-doo :). Like many others I just put a bit more pressure on the outer edges. I just want to lose the tracks not make a scrub plane :D. ...

Evaporust is inexpensive, widely available and somewhat reusable. I have been using a gallon for many years. It does leave things with a dark tint...

It sounds like he has eliminated the saw's alignment and the thin kerf blade. I would do a test on a piece of scrap. Clamp on your straight edge...

It might help to know why the pork chop isn't working for you. There are fabric backed types you could make that are another alternative. Generally...

Make a clean cut at the end of a couple boards. The end grain tells the definitive story between these two woods. You can almost use red oak...

A good sharpening service can assess and possibly repair the stack you have for a fraction of new. I've run a Freud SD508 and 208 for years. I...

I prevent this by using double stick tape between runner and sled base, counter bored holes, and pan head screws. You can still distort the UHMW if...

I agree that buying a standard size blank and cutting it yourself makes sense. I fit mine snug and then card scrape or even hand plane to fit. I...

Packed up and sent Fed Ex to Texas. . . . Made it alive and is on the wall. Client is happy so I am happy.

Right. Here is our fundamental problem when requiring anything done involving the trades. It's not the craftsman's fault. He was taught by someone...

+1 for a plug epoxied in, pilot drilled and screw replaced.

I would push the bandsaw solution as well. Especially since you are going to hand finish the cuts anyway. Although many do it (and many 'accidents'...
