Well, it’s tough to say.
As previously mentioned , that router is 10years old minimum and the design/tech closer to 20 (or more).
It was a 300-$400 router when brand new and could be had for...

This is one of the most ridiculous notions perpetuated by old fashioned "cabinet guys" and "sales weasels". Any kind of cabinets from any source can be "fit to the walls". It's what you pay...
but you’re ok with paying a plumber or electrician or HVAC tech $200,000 to $300,000 a year ?
Not sure this is accurate.
Festool sells collection bags as accessories for saws and those definitely don’t do anything to cool the motor. Would be curious they would sell an accessory that would...
It’ was an ill conceived engineering exercise.
Too big and complicated for portability and not big or robust enough for production work. There was , I recalll , a line boring attachment for it...
Interesting how many guys have chimed in with “their favorite” -or- what they use but almost no one has said why they think theirs the “BEST” or mention switching from another brand because of non or...
Jim , I’m with you on “use what ya got”.
I am not down with complaining about a tool or part being poor when it’s not used as intended/designed.
Considering that even the most wonderfully designed and best manufactured widget will still have a measurable failure rate , I’m not inclined to fault Bosch on your trouble.
The fact that you’ve...
1st question I’d ask is : what’s the acquisition cost & what’s your time worth ?
2: How certain are you it only needs a cleanup, bearing , and new tires ? Stored outside ain’t great. Except in...
Being you’re a fan of the Toob, I’m surprised you haven’t wanted this :

Seems to be everything you asked for.
Drill Dr. no question.
That said, my ability to find deals on drill bits that are on sale or close out makes it cheaper than the cost of the drill dr.
No, Richelieu does not rebrand Hafele produced products. They are a distributor just like Hafele.
And while they may be a century old German Co. , the reason the mech. you’re lookin at is...
For drilling metal you want cobalt bits.
This test from a month ago suggests Bosch’s set is the best value:

While it’s possible (even likely) the plastic formula changed over the years , I’m still putting my money one the metal port somehow being the culprit.
Your surprise is simply because you you...
Normally, I’d say you have a “you” problem. But, since more than a few have said they have issue with THAT sander + the adapter - I’m inclined to believe it’s just that combination.
The RS006...
I agree.
If you're going through guides at that rate - your saw is definitely not set up correctly.
Think of it like a constantly tripping circuit breaker ............ it's tripping is...
Sorry, my mistake.
Email is prob. more efficient though. But given the cost of a one off vs. the utility of that router to begin with ........id still recommend putting the money into a better...
Shorter boards stand a better chance of staying straighter.
KDAT is not a magic bullet for lumber staying straight , flat ect... It GREATLY increases the odds , but it's not a guarantee.

I disagree entirely.
After you spend countless minutes on hold or navigating the customer service phone gauntlet, you'll reach a someone (if you're lucky) that has absolutely no clue about the...
Even with the new info., my advice remains the same. If the tool isn't suited for the job, move on - regardless of sentimentality. Especially if the ecomomics favor doing so.
While the OEM DeWalt pads are insanely expensive, I think you'll be hard pressed to find an equal or better sander for the same money.
That said, I'd get a generic replacement pad on the BigRiver...
Newer models have a bluish green cast to them than the vintage machine grey color of the pre-war machines.
I also think (but am not certain) that the SherwinWilliams formula in the link is no...
I’m with Jim on this one.
best to just put the money towards getting a better router with a better OEM collet.
