    I use PB Swiss too, and think their tools are fantastic, but see that they are now $85 for a set of metric, more for imperial.

    Different customs create different standards. I live in the 240v part of the world. Our wall outlets are rated for 10 amps and are just mounted with a drywall clip with no electrical box. Extension...

    Where I live that’s the default drawer. It’s surprising how little you actually pay attention to drawer construction as a user.

    A slider on a shaper is nice to have, and if you get a Felder, the tilting spindle and interchangeable router spindle are nice features too. The slider gets used for coping and tenoning operations...

    In fact the alcohol doesn’t affect the MDF at all. I use shellac based Zinsser B-I-N for priming edges of MDF and never have issues.

    My only advice is, space allowing, to avoid getting a saw/shaper combo if you can avoid it. You may in fact delay using a shaper initially so could delay buying that particular machine. Most people...

    Movento runners have lots of screw holes and you only use 4 per runner. There are at least three adjacent holes at each screw location.

    I have a Felder full combo, but I also have an older Italian 10 hp shaper with 1 1/4 spindle. I need to get rid of it for space reasons, but I sure will miss it. I do like the beefiness of bigger...

    I just drilled and tapped my cast iron fence for two 6mm bolts. Then a piece of mdf bolted on. Counterbore the mdf so you can use socket head cap screws. Either wax it or apply formica.

    Let me add to the voices advocating the proper head. There may even be commercially available 3/4:1” bushings available.

    You are correct that you’ll need to rotate the power feeder 90°.

    I did...

    I bought lasers for my mitre saw when I started building our house, but never installed them. I have by now done quite a few miles of trim without complaint or frustration by just creeping up on the...

    I will echo the advice to upsize the slider to 10’ if you can. I have two Felder combos…one with the short slider and one with the 78”. The smaller machine is great for working with solid wood, and...

    What is the tenoning plate for by the way? Is it necessary for coping work on the shaper? I have only used a router table so far but will be making a couple of kitchens soon so looking for the best...

    Meanwhile down here on the 6th day of spring its 84° and thick with smoke. El Nino on this side of the Pacific means shimmering hot days and no rain. Just serviced the chainsaw for storage and about...

    I think that the Makita would be the more “pro” choice. I am starting to migrate to Makita drills from DeWalt myself due to the poor chucks.

    My 85 yr old mother-in-law's hobby is messing with scammers. She strikes exactly the right note of sweet and gullible, pausing the steps in the scam with lengthy travelogues about Australia involving...

    You are going to need some new wheels for the feeder because they harden with age. I understand that Western Roller does great work on these but I have no personal experience.

    I probably have...

    I was going to say a long day’s machining and assembly work assuming no stock lamination, assuming batch processing all the parts, assuming using a power fed shaper for grooving, fast panel sizing.

    I read that supplying just US aviation with algae based jet fuel would require a lake that would cover seven states. So no, not in its current form.

    Aviation makes approximately 3% of the world’s...

    Where I live both gas and electricity are expensive. We have a 12.3 kW solar array and just got a (non Tesla) EV. The car charges at home for free since we were exporting twice that much power anyway...

    They ship almost everywhere. They are my preferred supplier despite being 10,100 miles away.

    John, I would jump on the chance for the following reasons:

    A slider is better than a crosscut sled.
    The shaper is a valuable tool to have, doubly so if there is a router spindle included.
    There...

    The bridge type guards typically are mounted so that you can unscrew a knob and lift the arm through 270° so the assembly hangs down out of the way leaving the entire outfeed table unobstructed.
