Thanks, I thought you were saying that bulk propane was more expensive than electricity. In southwest Colorado propane is about $2.10 gallon while electricity is around .13 so unless you have a mini...
What are propane and electricity prices there currently? Thanks
I got the Delta mortising attachment for free with my Delta drill press. Even with sharpened chisels it was too hard to use. I then bought the Jet mortiser. I had to attach an extension to the handle...
What about Harvey Industries? Some one said they make Jet and Powermatic but they are listed on Geetech's site as well.

Thanks, very useful information
I guess that brings me to, which companies specify the highest quality in the castings, motors, etc.
In other words if I look at a Grizzly vs a Jet for example, the Jet is always higher. I know...
A lot of us know that Gee Tech makes the machinery for Delta, Grizz, Jet, Sawstop, etc

My question is, do each of the companies...
I have had one for 7 years. No leaks. I did have to replace the hose this past summer. It had a crack in it
I just got the 735 and mine has no snipe either. Makes my Jet 3 hp planer look bad!
I have had the Jessem for over 10 years. No issues other than one time MDF dust got in the threads and the mechanism was hard to crank up and down
I have had Milwaukee tools since '05 when Ford gave me a set for free with the purchase of a Super Duty. Those were 18V nicad. They lasted about 4 years. I then bought Milwaukee retrofit lithium...
Thanks for the responses.
At Amazon.
I got the DW 735x for $499. Also the DEWALT 20V MAX Brushless Orbital Sander with Cordless Router, Tools Only (DCW210B & DCW600B) for $199
Sounds like a bad capacitor. Does the motor have both start and run caps? If so the start cap is probably intermittently open when cold. If so try "borrowing" the start cap from the saw that works.
Thanks for the response. I have a Graco airless system for spraying latex and oil base paint for stuff like my house, fences, barns, etc- so I have that covered.
I have a farm/welding shop with a...
At Toolbarn. Today only. I ordered the Bosch 1617 router kit for my second shop.

I need a spray system and know nothing about them. I will use it for spraying wood conditioner, stain and poly (if it will spray poly). I will use it for trim and doors in a house. Also woodworking...
Gas. Notice what the professionals cook on?
Second if the power goes out you can still cook and if you crack a window for ventilation help heat the house
FYI- Jet is having 15% off for their Black Friday sale
I live in Texas. Hot and humid here! My first compressor lasted 20 years before rusting through. I very seldom drained it. We did put motor oil in the tank to make it last longer. Since we only used...
I find all of the conversations about 12" jointers interesting. I haven't done much woodworking for the last 6 or 7 years but back in those days a 8" jointer was "what's happening".
If you had a...
Thanks Dick, I will pay up so I can see your photos. I have a Unisaw in my home shop but didn't want that expense for my second home shop plus I like the portability of the DeWalt as I need it for...
I bought the Dewalt jobsite saw for some woodworking projects.
What do I need to make it better besides thin kerf blades?
Anyone make or sell a zero clearance insert for it?
What accessories...
