Probably not going to cut it in my opinion and experience in the past of starting larger motor/cutterhead diameter planer on an RPC rated to start 10 HP.

Is this paint grade or clear/stain grade cabinetry? Have you considered hardwood banding? I have used plenty of iron on commercial veneer banding and, like you, have found it to be a painful, tedious...
I had a "failure" recently with TB III. Not sure if failure is the proper way to describe it, but I built a pair of exterior chaise lounge chairs from Cypress and Black Locust in 2019. They sit...
“Compact” tractor with forks on FEL will not come close to handling the weight of many of his items. It takes a heavier, more full sized tractor in the ~60 hp + range to think about safely lifting...
Now wait just a minute there, Brent. Did you think you could casually mention a "new" spindle with an end mounted sliding table and not tell us more about it! By new, do you mean "shiny paint new" or...
Last I checked the Pro Scale DRO is around $400. I think I got mine for less when they were having an annual sale a handful of years back. Of course, there is Wixey for ~1/3 the cost, but I don't...
Just a note that you can add an aftermarket digital read out to the planer bed raise and lower that is of equal or higher quality than what is integrated into the OEM package, even on this higher end...
You have already had several good recommendations to look for good condition used 3 phase industrial + a phase converter.
You're going to have a hard time finding something in this build quality...
I designed and built a butterfly leaf dining table last year for a client and used folding hardware from Poettker and was very impressed with it. Their website is Euro based and not very helpful, but...
As someone who does this out of necessity / nowhere near enough space, I can confirm that yes, it is certainly a waste of time.
I used to have a nice Tannewitz "cabinet" saw back to back with my...
I use the Stop Loss bags for the oil component part of Rubio and sidestep the can problem as well as the top layer of the extremely expensive finish skimming over from oxygen in the can, wasting it...
I don't know if I'd say it's a given that you should be having to fuss with jointer adjustments on a semi regular schedule, particularly on that model.
I spent a long afternoon ~5 years ago really...
Thanks Jim. Good to know.
I tested it briefly before loading it up at purchase time and it was pulling -25 " HG / ~ -80 kPa consistently with its current settings. It's supposed to have a sensor...
What about the heavy duty, threaded machine leveling feet you can get from places like McMaster Carr?
I have the same jointer (12” / 166BD) and have dealt with this to some degree but am currently...
This has been “on my list” for a few years now. I apprenticed in a custom woodworking shop for ~5 yrs early on and they are liquidating some equipment and tools and gave me first dibs on the...
I have several of the Clearvue gates - both 6" singles and the double 4" boxes and I like them a lot. If you install them so the gate slides mostly side to side (as opposed to up and down) then I see...
Thread drift, but I use my Lamello Classic X quite a bit and would *not* want to be without it.
I don't know the answer to your question and I'm not necessarily directly recommending this, but I have made precise thickness brass sleeves (wrapped around the shank) when I've been in a pinch and...
Thank you John.
Easy fix here is to buy better tools. I don't have or use everything on the list but the ones I do have (4 in 1, quick clamps, ROS) do not give me any problems like you're describing.
This also...
This thread has some interesting replies.
I make my living (supporting my family) as a solo furniture maker / craftsman / woodworker doing exclusively custom designs and commissions. I do dabble...
Not much logic to a cordless miter saw that doesn’t leave the shop. I can totally see the logic for on site work and have considered it a few times, but that’s a specific situation where the need to...
See photos. The edge will need tuning / back may need minor flattening. Been many years since my timber framing days and time to pass this one along as I just don’t use it.
$75 + actual shipping...
Barely used Freud SD508 8” x 5/8” bore dado stack in original box with spacers, manual and DVD (not pictured.)
$100 + actual shipping cost or local pickup in Boone, NC.
Not sure if it will fit...
A few folks have said this in one way or another, but the truth is that most all my machines are my favorites to use and if they are unpleasant or unsatisfactory to use then they find their way out...
