Have you tried just ignoring the square, and adjusting the bevel stop until you get a square cut on the work piece? Of course that may throw off the alignment when sliding...

Any way to shim the...

The high pitched whistling sound makes me think you might have a missing tooth on the starter pinion or the flywheel. The whistling sound is the starter turning fast with no load on it. Might also...

An impact wrench has always worked for me. There's really no reason for it to be as tight as they often are. There is no more pressure on the joint than there is on any other joint in the hot water...

EdgeSupply has it, but I think only in maple and birch.

Nice going Wade. Go very easy with heat when soldering and be sure to clean off any flux residue, especially if you didn't use solder intended for electronic use. Alcohol usually does the trick and...

Nice haul Rod...RO is my second favorite wood (after cherry).

We had several of Mary's graduating Midwifery students and their families over on Friday for a hand blessing ceremony. A little...

IIRC, if the screws that hold the fence faceplates on are tightened too much or too little, the faceplace can go out of flat or even have waves in it. You might see if adjusting the tightness of the...

Rather than guess what a future owner might want to do...I'd just remove the box and romex and leave the existing breaker connected to nothing. Patch the wall and call it good.

Dewalt makes a small right angle adapter that has no chuck, just a hex drive. Couple it with a hex drive drill bit of the right size and you can get in pretty tight spaces. Especially if you use...

Depends a lot on what style you like...

This is a basic recipe I use, except I usually increase (double+?) the cayenne as I like spicy ribs and butt.

1/2 cup chili powder
1/4 cup brown sugar...

If you are thinking about sketchup (which I have used since it came out), consider signing up for the upcoming fine woodworking sketchup training class (if it's still open). It's focused on...

When I first installed my cyclone in the closet I got a fair amount of dust on the floor and other horizontal surfaces. Once I figured out that the oneida gaskets compress quite a bit after assembly...

Mostly outside work for me last week; the weather's been glorious. Mary and I went to a huge garden center in Amish country and picked up lots of annuals which she planted over the weekend. I've...

I can understand how an electrician's error might fry things on a 120V circuit, by somehow connecting it to 240. But there isn't any easy way for an electrician's error to fry a 240 volt machine or...

I'll be spending a few days in the Windy City in a few weeks. Any suggestions for good woodworking or tool related shops or other woodworking related things to see/do?

See if the blower (s) spins freely by hand with power off. Maybe you got some corrosion on the shaft or bearings while it was sitting unused....Depending on blower/motor type you might be able to...

I'm just an amateur but have done quite a bit of sheetrock. I now land butt joints between studs and use butt boards...

For me, the biggest driver of how much rough lumber to buy to end up with X amount of finished stock is how picky one is (or one's customer is) about grain type and match and color match, and clear...

Very nice Bob! I like the black legs contrast with the top, and I like the color you achieved with the danish oil mix.

That's a nice looking window Scott! Nice vertical grain stock too.

I finished up the knife block and silverware organizers and put them into service; happy with how they came out:

Is the green light blinking slowly or quickly?

After the activation, once you removed the damaged cartridge and blade, did you crank the elevation all the way down to reset the trip mechanism...

Any way you can modify the design to allow the insert to roll out on wheels, with some guides to constrain it to desired movement? Otherwise, I'd be looking at pantry roll out slides; a quick search...

Congrats on getting your grandson and his cousins rev'ed up about reading!

I like to prefinish when the effort of masking off the joinery surfaces isn't too onerous. If you're applying finish by...

If you haven't tried a thorough cleaning of the taper surfaces and inspection for burrs or any "gunk" that might prevent the taper from fully seating, that would be my first step.

Looks to me like the bolt extends through the casting. If so, you'd turn the top nut to adjust, then use the bottom nut to lock it in place. But it looks like it might be at the end of its range;...
