Construction lumber, in general, is coming down in price across the board, but some of the anomalies we might see out there in the home centers and...

That may not be true for the portables that the OP is considering, at least yet. Cordless tools have very much gone that route, however. ---- ...

No experience, although I actually touched one years ago. They were a decent dedicated resaw machine back in the day.

Bryan, no, I'm not up for doing my own spray foam other than corner sealing. I'll get some more current quotes, however, once I'm closer to build....

As decent and capable that Mach4 is, Acorn is very much next level, IMHO. It's nice that the option is there to folks to do an upgrade like that.

Yea, it's not something that might be immediately intuitive, but scoring capability can sometimes be a "problem solver" and I'm looking forward to...

"Old stock" can do that sometimes, even though Zinsser products do seem to have a reasonable shelf life. 'Hope the uber-thin coating resolved things...

Mike, while I don't use scoring the majority of the time with solid stock, I have employed it occasionally for something that it was critical for me...

That was likely a very good choice for this application...designed for the task for sure.

I"ve only had a cabinet saw in my (temporary shop) for about a year right now and I had to nearly immediately make up a crosscut sled in order to...
