You might drop a note to Sam Blasco as he might know/remember what the original cost for that might be. They did go for some coin. I never opted for...

Yea. My range hood doesn't understand 24 hour time, however, but the induction range does. :) Seriously, it sure would reduce ambiguity!

I think you will find that the plywood used for this kind of application is pretty resilient to point loads, but you could add a layer of something...

Big bites can certainly cause issues sometimes, but grain direction is the greater evil, IMHO. Many folks who build electric guitar bodies have...

I have several of the so-called "aircraft" drill bits for my guitar work and while delicate, will let you get into places that are otherwise hard to...

No disagreement. I honestly do wish my 4x4 was either 5x5 or 4x8, but alas, the latter would not have fit in my old shop, so I passed on it. Sad...

LOL...not likely, but there are two things on there that could go away and get replaced with something equally small. I honestly don't do a lot of...

I agree with this. I haven't seen anything dreamed up and marketed by Peter that isn't top-notch. Not inexpensive, but well made, precise and fit for...

There are many times when you have to do part of the job with a bottom bearing bit and then flip the whole thing and do the rest with a top bearing...

That was indeed an interesting read...and I kinda agree with the dude. But then again, I've been a fan of metric for a few years now in my shop. Of...

Yes, you can, in general. Jay is correct that one should avoid blades with the anti-kickback feature and there can also be an issue with some blades...

It wouldn't be a proper project without confirming everything fits and stays in place so that was what came next...loading it up. That worked out...

"Meanwhile"...there was a little variability in the height of the oak strips used to delineate the organization in the tray, so the drum sander was...

To add to the discussion, are you using the fine threaded pocket screws intended for hardwoods or the coarse threaded pocket screws intended for...

If anything, another layer of plywood perpendicular to the installed floor will be just fine for a storage area if you want to increase strength,...

The advantage to the 5x10 is the ability to use the wider material when that's appropriate and some commercial work does indeed benefit from the 10'...

Since your plan is to go to the large 5x10 format, it should handle that and a lot more very easily. "What" software is still the question, but...

So at about 5500 on the speed setting I would not represent that the machine is "quiet", but it's a noticeably different kind of sound than the...

It's been discussed previously. SMC uses more bandwidth by a wide margin than can be economically be bought on a shared server system compared to...

SB&D owns quite a few brands...and you can add Craftsman to that list. https://www.stanleyblackanddecker.com/brands

Thanks, John. I thought about traditional handles, but I have my short and mid-length tracks hanging on either end. The end-caps actually act like...

Those speakers were beasts! I sold a lot of them in the 8 years I worked for the company. I never bought them, opting for some towers with passive...

Don't get us wrong...it's a "best practice" to wait, but the real world doesn't always permit that. And an potential marks from "equipement feet" are...

As long as your drilled holes are accurate, the reamer should follow them just fine when using the brace.

Good to know, Alan. Thanks for telling me.

Andrew, what do you plan on using the CNC for in your operation? That has a lot of impact both on hardware and software needs as you've probably...

That makes a lot of sense, Ron...he truly was a human encyclopedia when it came to music information and I do mean details and "off the cuff". Over...
