    Nothing like the ol' upsell. I think you will be happy with the Hammer machine, but for what seems like 30% more you will have 20x the machine. You have to draw the line somewhere on this stuff, but...

    I own a powermatic 209 with a byrd head. As someone else said, there is a bit more to it other than 2hp and 5" of width. Most 20" machines have additional features like a pressure bar and segmented...

    I have a Felder 700 saw/shaper, and i think that is a perfectly adequate machine for what you are looking to do. I made a bunch of flooring and ceiling for my timberframe shed, cope/stick stuff,...

    I have the 16" version of the skil, and i personally prefer the blade orientation on wormdrive saws. A lefthand blade makes the cut much more visible for a right-handed user. I dont know that ive...

    This is my primary issue with tools designed with large capacities. The workpiece can quickly overwhelm the tool/operator even though on paper it can technically make the cut. Reading the material on...

    I swear one of those sold at auction in Oregon/Washington a year ago. If i remember correctly, a tech company had a bunch of new never used machines and the Felder sliding bandsaw was one of them. I...

    Fred, bolts aside those blades absolutely need sharpened/replaced. I think your first board over the jointer will amaze you if you swap to sharp knives. 20 years is a long time to remember how...

    I had pork chops on my 6", 8", and 12" machines. I agree that i think you want a folding porkchop once your machine exceeds 12" in width. I now have the DIY euro bridge guard, like i said before, and...

    I agree with Brian on the cutterhead. That is a whole lotta time+money for very few appreciable differences in cut. The chip size off a helical head is nice and the carbide edges do last a long time,...

    Hey Tom, I made a homemade euro bridge guard out of plywood and woodpeckers knobs. Quick build and it works well. On a 20" machine the bridge guard is not an ideal system, because it gets in the way....

    Hey Dave,

    That is very niche, unfortunately, and i am not sure anyone can tell you the differences between every letter designation. The letter typically referred to slight changes over the years....

    Add me to the pile of people with the motor between joists. I can measure the bottom of the subfloor to the top of the motor, but i suspect it is only 2-3". I have limited ceiling height in my...

    In agreement with everyone else. Bearings begin to get slightly pricy when you get into the bigger machines, but a 10" saw bearing is like $10 for top shelf stuff.

    I somewhat agree with Mike, but i also want to clarify that not all Unisaws were made equal.

    The old 1-1.5hp bullet motors with the jet lock fences are definitely $500ish. It isnt a unicorn to...

    I think you can achieve satisfactory results from shorter bed length, but it does make the task easier with longer beds. My jointer length is 96-100", and it's easier to balance boards as you run...

    Hey Dan, that is a bummer. However, I do think the final calibration is on the owner after delivery. That is sorta standard with every machine. For example, I definitely spent some time setting the...

    Nice accessory, Glenn. Now that Glenn gave us a shop made extender, has anyone ever seen a DIY version of these jaws? I wish i could still buy these jaws for a few sets of my ancient ibeams.

    Agreed, I’ve used those extenders more times than I thought I would. You don’t quite double the length of your clamps, but they maintain all of their clamping force. Those extenders are robustly made...
