I’ve never had a problem with Titebond II Extend. However I doubt it would give you. 30-minute open time. I’d say no longer than 20 minutes and that might be pushing it. Epoxy is most likely the...

By now everyone has provided opinions and I'm not sure you're even reviewing responses anymore . . . I have a Rikon 14" 10-325 Deluxe (which is now a 10-326). I believe that its resaw capacity is...
Pin nails wouldn't be a good idea unless it's just to hold until the glue dries. Pin nails don't really have much holding power.
Since the fronts are 1/4" (unless I've misunderstood), just glue...
8 mm or 10 mm Dominos? Small table or larger? I assume you will use waterproof glue (something like Titebond III)? Do you own the Domino 500 or the 700XL?
Strength is due to a combination of depth...
I think this is a great idea. Spacewise the saw without wings is likely to have about the same footprint as a jobsite saw. Plus, your existing saw is likely to have a bit more power than a jobsite...
I have a Ridge Carbide combo blade and the boxjoint set (which I bought for a particular project). They are great blades. I would say, though, that Sawstop's own combination blade is a good blade for...
My problem with quick release vises like the cheaper ones Woodcraft sells is that the quick release mechanism wears out. Must be cheap cast iron. I replaced my old one about a year ago with Rockler's...
I never found my Tormek, which I've owned for 20 years, to be useful for chisels or planes. However, when I started turning about 7 years ago, I found that the Tormek jig for gouges is the easiest...
The main differences for me are:
1. Exceptional dust collection (which might not be as developed on older tools)
2. Festool routers have precise markings on the base for the center of the bit so...
JPW (Powermatic/Jet) allegedly have companies who are available for warranty service onsite. However, the owner of the company in my northern Illinois area is aging and has decided to go out of...
I have never had a combination square that is an accurate as any of the Woodpecker's squares. I use a Woodpeckers MFT Square to square up the miter head on my Festool MFT table. It's perfect. I have...
All power tools are inherently dangerous and, while we all believe we are constantly trying to use them safely and have spent time learning how to use them safely, we all make mistakes. If we're...
I own Trent Bosch's Stabilizer and Visualizer. While it's kind of a black hole to go down in terms of cost, I was never sorry that I bought the Statilizer first; then the Visualizer. The Stabilizer...
I would agree that, if a woodworking tool or jig or fixture is something that gives you increased capability and enhances your ability to do certain tasks, it's worth it. For example, I bought the...
In the end, it really doesn't matter what we all think companies like Grizzly should do. Most bandsaws come with blades that probably don't last very long. However, I found that, when I bought my...
This link goes to Woodsmith plans. The design doesn't seem too difficult; only 3 mortise and tenon joints....
With a solidly glued Domino, I can't imagine racking would be an issue, especially with 8mm Dominos. Generally I would probably use a 6mm Domino. Unless this cabinet is meant to withstand a lot of...
If it were me, my normal way of resolving this would most likely be to rip the boards into 3"-4" widths on the bandsaw, joint the ripped boards to flatten one side, plane the other side, and glue...
There are two possibilities for "saving" the cookie. One is to rout bowties or some other shape to tie the two sides of the largest opening together and maybe one or two smaller bowties for the...
For me, the most useful type of vise is an end vise with bench dog holes along about half the length of the bench and on the top of the vise face. That allows me to handle a variety of shapes and...
The answer, as others have said, is getting the saw setup properly and the Alex Snodgrass method works. Since I've used it, I get exceptional results. There are, o course, others who have slightly...
I doubt there is any woodworking task that doesn't produce some dust. Even usning HSS gouges where mostly havings are coming off the blank produces some dust. I can see that when I forget to turn on...
Based on the manual for my Supermax 16-32, it may be caused by a slipping belt which should be resolved by tightening the belt tension. The instruction manual would be the source for both the...
I absolutely recommend the Woodpecker miter bar over any other I tried, including the Incra miter bars. Woodpeckers bar doesn't require any adjustment to fit the slot on your tablesaw (or I suppose...
I bought my Rikon 1/2 HP grinder from Woodturners Wonders with 2 CBN wheels installed by them. It works great and have not had any problems. If your grinder is within the Rikon warranty it should be...
