Always looking for an "excuse" to use my LN 5 1/2. Pure joy!
May they stay in business for a very long time!
Does any one own this VEVOR Belt/Disc Sander, Model # BD4803? Would appreciate your opinion. Never heard of this company. Enticing that it's advertised with a 5A induction motor. Thanks

My bench top is 1 3/4" maple with 3/4" dog holes. Ordered my Gramercy holdfasts this year. Can't be happier with them. One whack and that's it! Highly recommend them at a great price for a pair.
My Unisaw came with a sheet iron base, also called the "Invicta" style and no plinth. The saw sits on an HTC rolling base. Yes there is no factory dust port just an open sloped chute.
Thanks for the reference table. My Unisaw is the last one listed, Model 34-457, G212534, 3 HP, purchased in April '87 from Rockwell made in Geulph Onatrio. Except for 3 new belts, haven't needed any...
Recently purchased Wood Moisture Meter - Digital Moisture Detector Moisture Tester, Pin-Type by TavTool. Thanks
Can anyone tell me how to calibrate a moisture meter? Thanks
Lowes seems to be carrying this plane with some positive reviews. Anyone in the Sawmill community have good experience?
Ryobi #BGH827 bench top grinder. I bought it on a whim and paid little attention to the rated max RPM. I have learned to adjust the sharpening so as to avoid over heating the steel. Be surprised how...
I recently bought a 3600 RPM grinder. I will primarily use it to sharpen and grind tools. i don't have the room to have it mounted on a stand or table top. Is it preferable to have it permanently...

Just a heads up....ordered what was advertised as a fret saw by Olsen from Home Depot. What I received TWICE was a ZONA brand. Classic example of bait and switch.
Check out: 80/20 1030-72 Extrusion T-Slot, 10 Series 1"x3" 72" long. AMAZON or Ebay. This makes a great fence and the T-slots are perfect for jigs and other attachments
Several days before Labor Day, a well known seller of excellent and high quality tools based in California advertised a tool sale touting that the prices would remain effective until xx hours before...
I often wonder if it is a good practice to hammer materials clamped in the jaws of a wood vise as I often see done by some of the most notable woodworkers. My vise is attached via lag bolts on the...
I replaced my Delta 10" Unisaw belts that were long overdue. There was a marked improvement in reducing vibration. At the vendor's recommendation, I purchased Gates AX24 purchased from...
How many were first taught in shop class that the “proper” way to use a try square is on the inside face/edge (stock and blade) only? Reminding myself of this after so many years, I measured the...
Curious as to which one to build first, cabinet or drawers. Should one size the drawers to the cabinet or vice versa? Always a dilemma for me. Easier to shave the drawer sides only if wider than the...
check your miter saw plastic insert to see if it is interfering with laying your material flat across the table. this mostly affects cutting pieces that don't span across the entire insert. the...
In 2010 I purchased an 8000 grit water stone that came with a Nagura stone from www.sharpeningsupplies.com. I inquired as to what the little white stone was for and seller instructed me to rub the...
With much surprise and glee I received my LN 5 1/2 jack plane yesterday after only a two day wait. Been wanting to do this for a very long time (years). As time passed, I watched the price of other 5...
Should you decide on keeping the stones in a water bath, be sure to store the container in a non-freezing environment. If not stored in water, be sure that the stones are throughly dry after use and...
I've seen others, sometimes using just one finger, to adjust the blade protrusion turning the adjustment screw while planing. When I try it I find my cap screw (on all of my planes) is much too loose...
