    Johnny, you're right about the collet needing to be below the jig. I'm not sure I can squeeze out 1 1/2" by not putting it all the way into the collet.

    My wife bought me the Rockler Box Joint jig for my router table. Unfortunately, the bit doesn't extend high enough to make a proper cut. It looks like I need another 1 1/2" to get the bit above the...

    Awesome. Thanks for the input! It may just be worth keeping my sanity (and money!) by buying one instead of building.

    Dresser out of melamine?

    My wife would like me to make a dresser that would match our daughter's Ikea desk. I assume this means making it from melamine or laminate wood. Are there any considerations I need to worry about...

    Thanks, Rich! I had heard about holding off until next year from another person just last night. Believe me, after dealing with the deck, I'm okay with waiting! I feel like there should be a better...

    I saw this at HD AFTER I had finished demo. My first thought was WHY NOW?!?!?!? Of course, I've probably seen it there before and had no idea what it was.

    I was just thinking of you guys! So, all of the screws are out, demo has been completed (finally). I started putting up the boards last week and I'm chugging along. I guess I'm about... a little over...

    I brought it up to someone at work and he also suggested the angle grinder. So, looks like I'm getting an angle grinder! YAY MORE POWER TOOLS!

    I'm not entirely sure about the condition of the framing. I'll look at it when I start pulling up boards. I would have liked to pull all the boards out, but the deck is pretty big and we want to...

    Thanks, guys! My plan is to basically take a full row of the boards, pull them up, check the joists, then install the new boards. Wash, rinse, repeat. They are held in with screws, but some of them...

    Replacing deck boards

    One of my bigger projects this spring/summer is replacing deck boards. Is it possible (or even feasible) to replace one board at a time instead of just pulling up all of the boards at once? My...

    Reading Woodsmith Plans

    Thanks, guys! I figured I was overcomplicating it, but better to get confirmation than run off and just start cutting and assembling!
  20. Planer and overall project measurements

    How does a planer affect the overall measurements of a project?

    For example, let's say I'm working on a cabinet that has an overall length of 53 1/4". There are 4 dividers and three "cavities"...

    George,

    I don't believe so. Usually when the breaker trips, the overhead lights go out. In this case, that didn't happen. I'll take a closer look when I get home.

    Glenn,

    The saw is pre-wired for 120v and can be upgraded to 240v. The issue "could" be related to the circuit size. I have 15a installed now, but it needs 20a to run.
