Rent an appliance dolly, something like this:

strap the bandsaw to it to help control it and keep it on the dolly. Then pull it up the ramp walking backward. That way if you lose control...

FYI if you are thinking of adding A/C a couple things to be aware of:

On Jan 1, 2023, new efficiency regulations go into effect which most certainly will result in higher unit costs for the lowest...

I’d suggest renting a set of rol-a-lifts. You strap them to opposite sides of the machine and you should be able to better balance the machine than on a pallet jack.

If you can pick it up from the freight terminal and they’ll load a trailer at ground level, rent a drop deck trailer like this:

I agree that this is the key issue.

Specifically if zinc parts are used as in the example given by John. Zinc alloys are very susceptible to creep. For the technically inclined here is a link to...

The AFCI breakers in my house have a LED that flash a code to tell you why it tripped. Might look to see if yours have that feature. I had to search for the manufacturer’s spec to find out how to...

Forrest can replace teeth and even straighten if needed. Had them do so after an activation (miter gauge). It wasn’t free but less than the cost of a new blade. Here’s the menu of services and...

It is listed in the Aircraft Spruce US catalog, look at page 833 here: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/pdf/index.html

You might call or email them. Their e-commerce site may not be completely...

I would think a reamer would be the way to go to take off the .25mm or so. You can get a 20mm reamer or an adjustable one. They make hand held ones or you could use a power drill, but would probably...

Hot melt glue gun

I have the small one. I like it. Easy to use and control. I used it to clean up veneer seams. Have not had to sharpen it yet as the edge seems to hold up well. I intend to buy the larger ones when I...

Here's a similar knot I filled on a walnut coffee table. Used System Three T88 with a couple of drops of dark brown Transtint dye. Overfilled it slightly then planed/scraped it flush. I think it...

Anther idea would be build a dedicated machine. Gang mount 8 routers to a platform that will plunge down then move the platform following a template. You could cut all 8 out of your sheet at once. ...

Could you build it up from 1/4” pieces instead? Rather than remove the dado, add two 27/32” wide 1/4” thick strips spaced 1-5/16” apart to the base piece of 3” wide 1/4” thick material, nail or glue...
