I have a 37 or 38" Woodmaster and it's a workhorse. I have previously owned two different open end drum sanders and wouldn't want one again for my usage.

I have a Rikon 70-220 lathe and have never had a problem with it. It's a good lathe and does what it's supposed to do. I also have a Laguna Revo 1836 220v. The Laguna is a great lathe and I have also...

I have a 15" Jet planer that I bought new 20+ yrs ago. I have a Byrd head in it and have run thousands of bdft of hardwood thru it, it still works great. I also have an 8" long bed jointer with a...

Well if it's at 7% then that's about as dry as it's going to get. When turning "green" bowls that's exactly what it is, green. It's only been cut for a short period of time and is still full of...

Beautiful work!

I use a 5" Mirka and I love it. It's a pneumatic model with dust collection and the thing does a great job. I do have a 6" RO in the shop but find I only use it on larger projects because of the size...

I thought I might share a recent experience with my Shelix planer head. I originally purchased and installed the Shelix head about 4 years ago in a 15" Jet and was happy with the performance, smooth...

I own a G0623 that I purchased new about 2 or 2-1/2 years ago. The Grizzly wasn't my first choice but it fit my budget at the time at around $3,500 plus shipping. I see it's considerably more money...

It's an issue it you had the drawers sized for the openings properly. Reversing pins and tails changes the sizing. Don't ask how I know. lol

Josh it is really just the quality as you suggest, not features. My experiance with Grizzly tools is that they usually get the job done but the fit and finish is not always the best. While this saw...

I purchased the G0623X about 4 months ago. I chose this saw for the cost and it fits my shop, I don't have the room for an 8 or 9' slider. I wanted the mini max but the shipping was $1,000 vs $175 I...

It's the only way I turn. I coat the whole bowl with anchorseal, then on a shelf to dry. I rarely lose a bowl to cracks but when I do it's usually cherry.

My woodturning area is kind of in the corner of my shop. My lathe comes away from the wall at about a 45 degree angle, near the corner. I have a rolling tool box base directly behind me against the...

I sold my G0766 after 1 year and got a Laguna 18/36, it's been an awesome lathe.

I put a garage door in my new shop this summer. I purchased the R-18 and the double seal rubber strips for the outside. My shop is heated all the time at 50 and usually 60 when I'm working. There are...

I replaced mine about 2 years ago. It's an easy job, took about 2 hours. I replaced the seal but not the bearings. I have put about 7 or 800 bdft of hardwood through and the finish is still great,...

I have the Rikon 70-220 VSR and it seems to be a good lathe although I have not used it allot. I also have the Revo 1836 for 5 or 6 years and never had an issue, it's a great lathe. I have no...

If your ripping hardwood and its pinching the riving knife it is most likely not dried properly, case hardened. Sometimes it may be possible to get 1 or 2 rips off a board before it becomes a problem.

I have an 18 volt Makita, it gets used allot. It has tool-less blade change, has worked well for 4 years now of heavy use and no problems of any kind.

I have had the Wen for about 2 years and use it often. It is a good saw, works great, but you will want to upgrade the blade. My tracks were not square on the ends and wouldn't connect together and...

I have had the Wen for about a year now and have 2 sections of track. The saw works great with the exception of the blade that comes with it and the ends of the track are not square. I trimmed the...

I had an awful experience with Renovo. I never did get any parts and eventually did get a refund but it took weeks and weeks, several calls over and over, poor service. I would never recommend them.

I have a Fuji MiniMite 4. Like Dan said it does a nice job with low viscosity finishes. I mostly spray water based lacquer, it works well for that but I found a husky hvlp gun and compressor works as...

I was in the market for a new 14" bandsaw about a year ago. After research, reviews and comparisons I went with the 10-326 Rikon. You might take a look at it, great saw.

I did this when I purchased a G0766 a few years ago...never again!
