Whether the thicknessing surface results are better or not will depend upon that specific machine setup. IMHO, the thicknessing is the "money shot"...

Interestingly, a lot of folks buy jointer/thicknesser combos specifically for the wide jointing capability and use a separate thicknesser for that...

I honestly didn't have a good experience with it a number of years ago when I was doing a big "kitchen continent" top project. It was supposed to be...

They can still be forged and pretty well, too, by some folks. A lot of scammers out there are not working along, either. There's less risk of that...

That's really going to set that off in a unique but, IMHO, beautifully understated way! Perfectly unique without being "in your face". Nice!!!

That is 110% a long time scam...do not entertain the thought of even continuing communication with anyone responding like that. This particular kind...

No experience and honestly, I've only seen ads for smaller units suitable for smaller lawns. It will be interesting to see what you find out at that...

The challenge is that I do not want anything below the bottom of the trusses so I'd have to deal with getting them up above and between the trusses,...

Set it at 78ºF and the shop at "working level" pretty much stayed at about 75ºF. Barely affected our power bill. Cooling is "more efficient" than...

For $500, I'd buy it just to have a second machine. LOL

The DW735 has been known from the very beginning when it was introduced years ago to be an "exceptional screamer" compared to other portables.

I agree with John..."location, location, location". That trim is very exposed at the corner and is a prime target for getting knocked around by feet...

I'm actually debating that and think I likely will paint that front window frame to cut back on the white so it's more like the person door. Where...

Thanks. I was just curious because some of the old-old machines were cast in a way that likely made retrofitting a modern cutterhead a tough row to...

David, in looking back at your original photos, the thought that came to mind was that perhaps you were laying the tinted finish on too heavy (and...

I think that the bottom line here is that it's not really going to save you any space because it's so heavy and will have to live on a stand anway....

So...I finally, finally, finally got to getting the big door on the shop painted today. This week's weather was very conducive to the deed and SW has...

He more or less said that...by expressing the real concern about batteries walking away by themselves (not!) while out of sight on a charger. That...

I agree with Prashun...regardless of what the label says about cure time, I really think that most, if not all of these finishes need a lot longer...

When you need to pre-coat to avoid bleed, if you choose to use resin, use a small amount of the 'thick set" type which is very thin and will...

Regardless of the source of the design, your execution of it looks really good. If you decide it's worth the effort, you can always take that design...

John, just how often do you need to joint long boards? I avoid that like the plague by cutting down material just oversize for components and then...

I think that 5/16" or 1/4" thick inlays will likely not present a wood movement issue for this application. I'd probably do the 5/16" in this case if...

While ratcheting tie downs are not supposed to be used for lifting, using them that way far below their rating or for a "safety catch" is probably ok.

Mike, I wonder if you could retrofit that cutterhead on the "aircraft carrier" to something more modern?

Andy, while many building sites do have power at some point, contractors are embracing battery operated tools big-time because they are more flexible...

The better wood stoves have a catalytic system which not only helps insure that the "bad stuff" is burned more efficiently, but they also slow things...

I only use dye in a clear finish...pigments get to be really troublesome. I actually made a mistake with that and had to sand this back after I...
