40 years ago I bought some 30" x 34" cabinet doors made out of 1" plywood. I bought 50 of these blems for something like $2 each with edging already applied. One of them has made a great outfeed...
A laser printer can sit for a year (or longer, a lot longer) covered (to keep the dust out!) and be ready to print in under 30 seconds. The only place they fall short of inkjet printers is in...
I buy 10 packs of drill bits in common sizes that get used a lot (1/8, 1/4, 5/16, etc.). I really like these Cobalt bits, especially when it comes to drilling steel:...
I use 6" duct on my Jet 2hp dust collector with a 5" port (it came with a 5" to dual 4" Y fitting) and it works just fine. Some day you might upgrade your dust collector and you will be happy you...
When I bought my 4 wheel feeder (used) it had also been through the blades several times. Replacing the wheels was quick and pretty cheap... something that might be worth considering.
There are no trade schools in my area and the quality of workers and work is abysmal! I won't even call a "trade" business any more. Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, construction, repair, installing...
CEC lets components talk to each other and share functions like volume control power on/off, input select, etc. CEC has to be enabled on the components, most that I am aware of come with it...
I have a large 2 stage compressor for the shop so I bought the smallest lightest compressor I could find with a good reputation for my house/garage. Yep, a California Air compressor:...
What manufacture VFD do you have? I have a couple Hitachi's that are very capable, very complex and very difficult to program. My last VFD purchase was a Huanyang. It was MUCH easier to program.

You are not supposed to cut the power to a VFD when it is currently powering a motor... or cut the power between the VFD and the motor while the motor is running.
The good news is you should be...
I have heard of MDO (probably from Norm) and HDO but I have never used it. The lumber shop around here doesn't carry it. Of course HD or Lowes doesn't either. I was looking for a table for my...
Thank you.
Most of my Workmate table have been ruined by getting wet, mainly the particle board ones... and I don't think I am ready to take out a second mortgage to put baltic birch tops on my...
Do you know if it is as strong or stronger than Baltic birch?
Thank you.
I picked up my last Delta 10" compound miter saw from Craigslist for $20. It had been left out in the rain for a little while but since it is mostly aluminum it just took taking the saw apart,...
Some business has many pallets of 3/4" HDO plywood that they are advertising on craigslist for $40 a sheet. I have never used HDO. I was thinking of picking up a couple of sheets and using one of...

LiFePO4 batteries have a lower self discharge rate than Lithium Ion batteries... about 1 - 3% a month. This with the much longer battery life (Thousands of charge cycles instead of hundreds for...
Your welcome, I am glad it helped.
When you figure out where to put the remote start/stop let me know. I am just finishing up the restore on my slider and I already know that the factory...
Do modern cabinet shops still use table saws? I mean cabinet shops that are bigger than a one man shop?
The last custom cabinet shop that I toured didn't have any table saws that I could see. ...
My friend that works in the local ER says that they get hundreds of broken bones and mangled joints a year from the local ski slopes each of which will incur tens of thousands of dollars in...
On a purely selfish note think of the huge number of high end table saws and sliding table saws that would be available to hobbyists if OSHA required businesses to acquire blade stopping technology!...
