have you looked at how they are adjusted. Some have an adjustment mechanism that twists to change cutter thickness others are two halves with shims placed in the middle. I run Amana two piece...
Personally I would wait and upgrade to a real cabinet saw down the road. That saw may be better in some ways but it is not really that big of a step up. You would probably end up upgrading twice.
Check out one of the car lift/four post hoist so you can store one car with another under it.
I have a Minimax T50 with a tilting spindle and sliding table. There have been a handful of times that the tilting spindle has saved the day and provided a way to accomplish a task that otherwise...
All my reciprocating saws are Milwaukee Sawzalls. I have 3 corded ones, and the original M18 (not Fuel). I want to get the fuel version but this one will not die. I have used it as a full time...
For me the biggest 'danger' of shapers is smaller amount of material (books, etc.) to learn from if you do not have the chance to work in a shop with experienced teachers. This was my story. I...
Richard I was thinking rolls... somehow wrote "strips". Jim that link is not working for me, what was it ?
I am looking for sources for the Mirka mesh strips to use on my drum sander. Also need a source for the velcro backing to attach to my drums to hold this in place. Very curious how this mesh works on...
Glad to hear you got it. Randy check out the picture, it is a real good looking machine.
I would run and snap that thing up now. I owned one just like it before i bought my 16'' machine. Great jointer. price is too good to stand around talking about it, get over there .
John you are giving away all my 'trade secrets'. Agree 100 % with everything you just said. My shop is full of machines that except for a 24 year old Delta drill press were all 'previously loved'. I...
I have used silicone to install the really cheap three piece plastic corner showers. Also have installed mirrors onto drywall that is already painted. These two applications work really good. Just...
Mark ,Cantek is a whole' nother' animal from Grizzly, Powermatic,etc . They are a way heavier build, I have seen other shapers from Taiwan with the "511", 512 model number under different names that...
A Delta/Invicta RS 15 is another machine to watch for. really good solid machine ,mine is 7.5 hp three phase. I have two shapers ,my other one is a Minimax T50 with sliding table and tilt spindle....
I think you guys just need to buy a slider.... :D
Jonathan, congrats on that machine. You are on quite a roll here. I just read your bandsaw thread where you found the Felder . Think about keeping your 17'' saw if you have the room. I sold a 18''...
Zachary, what Bill said. I have hauled at least 5-6 Unisaws home this way. upside down in a pickup works like a charm. No need to pull it apart, except for the fence. I back up to the saws and tip...
I use Kreg Automax on my saw as well. Where you need clamps is straight line ripping edges of lumber. I have the factory ripping shoe for my saw and never use it, because the clamps are quicker. I...
My local tire shop was where I figured out that tires should be installed and torqued to specs for that vehicle. I got a list of torque specs for all of my vehicles from them.
Steve ,I have used nothing but "sidewinder " saws my whole working career as a carpenter. I can easily cut square across 2x4 or 2x6 without even a line. I did experience worm drive saws on a grain...
Should not be too complicated. It will bolt to your existing extension wing holes. Worst case may include drilling a new hole or two on a bracket.
When I had an Excalibur on my Unisaw I found the problem of keeping it adjusted and square was the legs moving on the floor. Once I figured that out I used a sheet of plywood with the leg locations...
I paid for the Sharkguard. It is well worth the cost. The dust collection alone makes it worth getting one. I went with the 3'' connection and have to close my blast gate about halfway to keep from...
Hardly used ,made in Belgium and right next door ,oh and cheap. .Jonathan this is your chance to find out if a slider will speed up your work. My guess is once you own and use it and figure out what...
