Both your comment and your link seem little bit hysterical. I accept that I don't have a comprehensive understanding of what happens when the neutral wire is no longer grounded to the chassis of the...
I'm pretty happy with the overall straightness of the Makita tracks joined with the Festool connectors. I have 3 55" tracks. Two that are joined permanently (because that was cheaper than buying the...
When I was laying out my shop, I drew a 1/2" = 1'-0" floorplan with all the doors and windows and other factors included, then cut out to-scale templates of all the tools I own (or expected to own)...
So my dryer plug is connected to an old school 10-30r outlet. It has no ground wire, just two hots and a neutral. I picked up a 10-30p plug and a 6-15r receptacle to make a pigtail that matches the...
This!
The danger of a wood blade is that it can catch the aluminum and send it flying. Most wood blades have a rake angle between 10 and 20 degrees. Blades for cutting aluminum are usually around...
I have the Makita track saw with Dewalt clamps and Festool connectors. The dewalt clamps are way faster to use. I got the festool connectors because Makita's are known to not always be straight or...
I think if you got some color matched Timbermate filler and sanded it flush, it would pretty much disappear. I wouldn't use plugs unless your going to the same thing everywhere. Plugs never match...
I'm not 100% sure I understand what you're trying to do, but the oscillating blades won't cut ceramic tile (I'm assuming it's ceramic tile). They will only cut the grout.
You might try putting a...
I just noticed another problem you're going to have. If your drawers are full overlay, you're going to hit the door casing that isn't installed yet.
That was a good deal for someone. That looks like $500 worth of tooling
I like this jig and may build a variation of this. Are the shelves removable once the panel is clamped, or do they need to stay in the dadoes to keep the bottom from deflecting? If they're removable,...
On Craigslist, if you use the search function with a setting of 200 miles from your zip code and the word "shaper", you'll find about 100 of them for sale. Many are junk, but there are also quite a...
Whiteside doesn't offer metric, but they do offer plywood sizes in:
9/32
13/32
31/64
17/32
19/32
21/32
23/32
25/32
The rip-flip fence stops for table saws looks good to me. Having two or three permanent stops for routinely used dimensions would be great for repeatability. Especially the dado stops for dialing in...
OK. Good to know. I was more worried about the tools not being able to trip the breaker in some sort of scenario where they get too much current and killing the motors, but it sounds like that isn't...
I have a 40 amp circuit for my dryer and want to use that circuit to run a 220v planer or a 220v drum sander when the dryer isn't in use, both of which only need a 20 amp circuit. I can buy a short...
Honestly, for the working time and the rigidity, I would use epoxy with a slow curing hardener. I'm not sure why everyone loves hide glue all of a sudden. It sucks at bonding for strength and it's...
Shims and scribe.
No walls are plumb or flat. Frameless cabinets still need filler panels, or shims and scribe to fit in alcoves.
The arbor should have a left hand thread, so, if anything, it should get slightly tighter from the centrifugal force. Does this saw have a brake? If so, the braking action can cause the arbor nut to...
Just picked up a 15" 22-650 Brazilian made Delta Invicta planer. It needs everything and I'm prepared for that. My question is about dust collection. The Grizzly g0453 is basically a clone on the 15"...
I bought the Makita a few years ago. I may yet switch over to the Dewalt for the simple reason that you can cut on either side of the track. More and more this something that I want out of a track...
My point was pretty clear. It's an optical illusion. I'm not sure how I could have been clearer?
Eye of the beholder, buddy. Shadowplay is one of the governing principles of optical illusions. They can be protruding, or they can be recessed. It's just a matter of how your brain processes it. Bet...
I wanted the Baldor motor and the price of the saw was cheaper than buying the motor. I thought about keeping it, but it was an inherently bad table saw for a number of reasons. The table profile...
