Metric makes so much more sense. Most people can't work easily in fractions; I can do it, but it takes some thinking, particularly if we're trying to add really precise measurements together. ...

It's certainly nice to have. Make's getting rough lumber true a heck of a lot easier. Joint a face, put the rail on that face, cut a clean edge, plane the opposite face, off to the table saw. I...

I got mine from Toolnut as well, about 3 months ago. It came similarly packaged, sandwiched between two pieces of what appeared to be 11ft long MDF. Perfectly straight and true coming out of the...

I'm in agreement. I'm very happy with my PCS, it's a good saw, runs true, easy to adjust and work with. Never set of the brake, thank goodness.

If a good saw was 1K and a SS was 5K, I might...

OMG. Serious question, at what point does it stop making sense to buy plywood and just go to solid lumber?! Yes, I know ply has advantages, but, man, at 150/sheet; just seems we're approaching the...

My jointer/planer has paid for itself several times over because of deals like this. If you are patient and can deal with rough sawn, you can get some fantastic deals. A few years ago, I got about...

Agree. And if you're going to sell it down the road and don't care about the SS functionality, the Dewalt is hard to beat. That's an incredibly popular saw, put it on Craigslist for 75% of new...

I'm going to drop what might be an unpopular opinion. I wouldn't bother with a spray booth unless you're SUPER picky or you have a shop that's beyond dusty into "ridiculous".

I have a big wood...

Most saws are going to be the SS on specs per dollar. They are good saws, I'm very happy with mine, but realize you're paying a premium for the name, but, really, for the one unique feature; the...

Call me lazy, but I'm in the same camp. I do have a dedicated ripping blade, but since I got a 3HP saw, I've never used it (was useful on my smaller saw though because it was much easier on the...

How much do you value the blade stopping system? That's really what this comes down to, a saw that it would be very difficult to get seriously injured using vs a normal saw where, if you're not...

You might be able to do just fine with a smaller compressor if you don't need to spray paint with it. HVLP guns are huge air hogs, 90% of what I need a compressor for, a little 1.5 (120V) compressor...

Thanks guys, looks like this is a good way to save some $$ on high quality sand paper. If the only difference between the net and paper backed is needing to use a pad protector, well.. For 1/2 the...

Thank you for that, I've never used the mesh discs before, so wasn't aware of it. You're talking about something like this, right? Hook on one side, loop on the other, between the hard pad on the...

Can you give some details on this? Do the cheaper Cubitron's (the net) need a special pad? An accessory? That would explain the difference in price, but I didn't see anything in the product...

Anyone try both the standard Cubitron and the net Cubitron and have an opinion one way or the other? The net version seems to be almost 1/2 the price, so I'm wondering if it's as good, could save...

If you want to spray latex unthinned, you're probably going to need a different setup. A pressure pot or an airless (or air assisted airless, if you really want to spend some $$). Latex paint, in...

Do you have room for a 5HP air compressor? If so, that would be my first suggestion, having lots of air is a must for a HVLP air powered gun, but it's so useful for so many other things, it's hard...

My DC is outside (under an eve). No filter on it. Works well; but stuff near it outside does get a coating of fine dust on it. I don't find the loss of heated/cooled air is that significant; I'm...

While I think CNC is amazing, I also have little interest in using it. I'm a programmer by trade, so the idea of turning my woodworking into another program sounds too much like work to me.

I...

This is what I'm trying currently to solve this problem. Seems to be working pretty well, and it solves 2 problems, making a wide/square cross cut AND if you add the rails that go on it, making a...

Been through the machine pretty much top to bottom, some small maintenance tasks completed, really glad I did a "go over" though. Two things that popped up; the limit switch on one side had it's...

Well, brought her home on Friday. Piped into the DC on Saturday. Tore down a lot of the machine to check for required maint, 3 things need attention. The platen is shot, the graphite pad on the...

Thank you, appreciate the feedback. I'm going to look at (and probably buy) the machine this weekend, so hopefully I'll feel the same about mine.

One quick question, I saw your mention of a...

Holy smokes, those are a little out of my size and price range! I'd love to have one, of course, and figure a way to make the 3 phase power required, but, that's just not in the cards. I've gone...
