I recently purchased the Makita cordless oscillating tool. Whoever makes them, they are usually all good. It seems the original corded Fein multimaster seems to be the smoothest (based on comments,...

I still have concerns about the Lie-Nielson tote height and, realistically, I really don't think I need a No. 8 for what I need to do. The Veritas No. 7 will work just fine, so Tony can have the No....
Yup, I actually have a Veritas Custom No. 4 with a custom sized tote for my hands. It fits extremely well. My friend has a Lie-Nielson No. 4 and the tote is too small for me. Even his No. 7 is...
Thanks, Robert. That give me a better idea.
Does anyone have a No. 8 who also has a smaller Lie-Nielson plane? I have a question on the tote handle size. It's hard to tell in the product photos, but it appears that the No. 8 handle might be...
If you decide to look for a used 1-1/2HP traditional dust collector, something like this would help the miter saw:

The DeWalt actually does not perform as well as other shop vacs and dust extractors, but it is very quiet. The Fein is a middle-of-the-road. The Festool is the best because of constant suction...
FYI, a larger 1-1/2HP dust collector will do better on the tablesaw and planer. However, it will still be really crappy on the miter saw. One of the dust extractor / vacuums will do best on the...
If you had to choose between only these two options, go for the 1HP upright. That 1/2HP has a very tiny 6" impeller and it's not going to do much.
That being said, even with the 1HP, you'll have...
Addendum: Both the Starbond and Gorrilla Super Glue GEL were still liquid and usable even 4 months after being opened. The Starbond comes with micro extension tips as well.
I had both an opened...
I use Starbond "Super Fast Thin" CA glue for filling cracks. I also use Starbond Medium CA glue for thicker stuff. I also like Gorrilla Glue Super Glue GEL for adhesive on multiple things. I have...
Did you see this one?

It is not cheap, but not obnoxiously expensive like the other one (they are asking for $795 and will never sell it).
Craftsman doesn't do this kind of thing anymore. If you really want to try to repair your square, I would search ebay for a used Craftsman combination square. That being said, you can get really...
just chiming in. I know that in my local area, you cannot place a permanent fixture (table/tool/etc) within 36" directly in front of an electrical panel. You can generally put stuff on either the...
Dangit, you just lost a good zinger! here:
Beware of the inevitable Rabbet hole!
There have been posts about getting sharpening gear/stones. This is rather important because you can get a $$$ Lie-Nielson plane and even that will become somewhat useless relatively quickly if you...
If you are buying a new plane, ultimately, I think it is really "you get what you pay for". Sure, the Grizzly may look pretty "new", but so do many other planes. Here's a video showing a very...
I can see that your main is 6". Are your drops 6" as well? Or are the drops 4" duct? If they are 4" duct, you can definitely have air slow-down once it hits the main. Also, depending on where...
It could be a marketing type email to influence you to come back to their site and "buy more blades", lol.
What exact sander do you have right now?
Last year, I did buy a 6" sander as an addition to my current 5". My 5" is a Festool ETS 125. This excels as a finish sander due to the really small...
Hey Stephen,
That sounds great. I took a look at the W1888 and it seems like a much better version of the Grizzly G0899 that I mentioned in my post way back in the beginning of this thread. Not...
I suppose it depends on how good you become with a stroke sander. If you wanted to plane down some veneer to exactly 3/32 perfectly flat, it may be challenging with a stroke sander. Also, if you...
Hey Jim, can you point me to it with a link? I tried searching sawmill already and didn't come up with anything, lol.
Sorry, found it.
Just came across this. It would be really cool to have one of these, or a few, but it depends on cost. It "feels" a bit expensive, but what do I know.

I don't know of any commercial jointers that have a motorized raise/lower of the infeed table. It just isn't enough movement to justify this.
It might not be worth your while, but you could...
