The Festool system (or the Mirka system, for that matter) are designed to work together pretty tightly and yes, they do perform surprisingly well....

That movement is from the inertia of the gantry and spindle head's mass moving and then stopping. That's where the heavier welded machines come into...

The bottom line that I see is that using the appropriate heavy steel post brackets on either poured piers or a stem wall eliminates the largest...

Yes, their spiral offerings are nice and they are great to do business with, too. Since they also do quick connect, you can still use that in...

You should spend some time watching RR Buildings on the 'Tube. Those brackets are not "sheet metal"...they are heavy, welded steel and designed for...

While Michael clarified what his process was, there's no issue with doing two coats of Rubio Monocoat, even though the word "Monocoat" indicates it's...

Rick, 120mm is just under 5" which is approximately 125mm. :) So yes, a 5" ID hose should slip over the 120mm port or at least be close enough to...

The nice thing is that you don't have to upgrade Jerome if there's nothing compelling there, but can choose to upgrade for "the same price" whenever...

Cutting wet wood on the bandsaw benefits from a band that's designed for wet wood...I recall some specifications around that were on the Suffolk...

If you are just screwing them into the cabinet materials directly, you can use the elongated holes to provide some level of adjustment for...

For the 120mm port on the Felder, a popular option for adapting is a Fernco rubber sewer adapter; 5" hose can be clamped on one side and the other...

I doubt that the nice folks at Fernco ever imagined that they would provide so much value to the woodworking world. :)

"Drying Tent". You need air flow, preferably from the prevailing winds, so if your tent isn't just a "top", you're going to have continued moisture...

You could certainly use dyes, etc., to emulate the tone of a specific piece of white oak, but you'd want to choose a species that's going to provide...

Seal with Anchorseal (you can get it by the gallon on Amazon) and as Izzy recommends, get it sawn as soon as possible so you can stack and sticker in...

"Holy Price Difference, Batman!" Sheesh...you need to find a friend across the border to take deliveries for you!

Yes, in general, that's exactly what you want. There have been a few examples of this posted over the years...I could be wrong, but I believe that...

Yea, if my spam protection at the server doesn't catch something...which is rare...my MacOS Mail app gets 99% of the rest straight into the "Junk"...

What "base" is used also matters, not just what collarant is added

Yea, I agree. The shipping on my slider in late 2022 from Georgia to Pennsyltucky for about 1000 lbs was $1200 and that was with terminal pickup, not...

Making the "windows" is an approachable task, but the opening mechanisms are a different issue, especially since you can't use a simple hinge and...

Many folks with shorter stroke sliders will make use of a ripping sled on their slider wagon to increase length capacity for critical straight line...

Yes, it was released mid-last week. Please note that they are offering the upgrade at the "old upgrade price" until 30 April 2024. After that, it...

These are well known phishing payment scams. DO not respond. DO not click on any link "in" the message. If you are concerned about a "payment" go to...

I didn't have any dowel stock appropriate for the need but do have a good quantity of Total Boat resin, so that's what I went with. Since the issue...

I don't have any issues with labels from my P-Touch sticking to anything, for the most part.

If you use Aspire 11.5x or greater, I can send you the files. PM me your email. You'll just need to change your post processor and tweak for your...

Jimmy Diresta's latest video project is a nice exercise in metalwork, including some things he's not done previously. Two metal shop stools.

Sadly, three panels...so one complete cabinet and one half. But the recovery worked just fine and I slapped myself up-side my head to insure I don't...
