George, I checked the original bit like you suggested. It appears to be fine. Thanks for the headsup! Mark

Update: So I got the Whiteside UDC9112 and it was a big improvement with regards to tearout. Like most of you suggested, I got as close to the line as I possibly could. For me, that meant using the...

Will do, Michael. Thanks for the advice.

I'll check that out, first thing when I change them. Thanks for the heads up. Mark

1/16" of an inch is going to be tough for me, my bandsaw skills aren't that good. But I get it, I'll creep up to the line with an oscillating sander and actually hit the line on the endgrain. I'll...

Haha. No, but he had one to Taylor Tools for it. I went the Amazon route to speed up and save on shipping. It's tough resisting the Borg.

Thanks to all who took time to answer! The bit I used is 1/2" in dia. with a 1/2" shank. I don't remember the manufacturer, but I believe it was a Whiteside and not cheap. I knew to get the...

One of the scarier things to do in the woodshop is use a pattern bit. Invariably, I read the grain wrong and bad things happen. So far the only repercussions were a ruined workpiece. I take shop...

It certainly does help, Luis! Thank you for the reply! Mark

On a related DC note, I'm about to set up the piping for my DC. Going to use 4" sewer pipe. The photo is from a Jay Bates article. He has an adapter inside a Y that he attaches his overarm Sawstop...

Thanks Jim! Mark

Thanks Keith! I thought it was me! Mark

Sorry if this question has been answered before, but I couldn't find it with a search. How do you post photos on a private message? I saw the "Insert Photo" icon and clicked it. A box appears to...

Thanks Greg! I ended up going with the 3550 because I figured 4 casters are better than 2 in a tiny shop. It's in place now and I'm impressed with the 3550. Seems beefy enough to me. Thanks...

Greg,
Just go my Hammer A3 31 yesterday. How is the PM 3500 working out for you? The machine is not a perfect rectangle. One of the long sides is 25" and the other is 27 1/4". I was wondering...

ChrisA,
Which Boramate model did you go with? I just got my A3 31 delivered yesterday, and like you, the Hammer mobility setup is not going to be sufficient. Are you happy with the Bora? ...

I put a PVC elbow with a female end into the fence. It fit pretty well but I put some masking tape around it to make it more secure. Even with the tape I can still turn it. The green hose friction...

Sorry Steve, some more questions.... Those cut out sections made for clamps, do you really use them? Seems like they would be more trouble than they're worth. On most DP tables they have the fence...

I guess I was deceived too, George. From the photo, it looked like they were using a Festool hose. Figured I'd just be able to plug in my CT26. Guess not. WP has no schematics to peruse, at least...

Thanks for getting back to me, Steve!

Yeah, you're right, the crank modification is alot of work. Probably be expensive too when you factor in the shipping costs. (Amazon Prime doesn't have all...

465258465259465260The outdoor table is done. Breadboard ends with haunched tenons. The legs are joined to the frame by M&T with oak pegs. The table is made of clear(mostly) cedar which was...

Steve,
I was looking to do the same thing you did, use a WP 24" fence on my own table which I'm in the process of designing. You said you had to extend the opening on the back of the bracket...

Charley,
I know this is an old thread, but I figured I'd ask a question or two. I had the Beadlock Pro sitting around for years, unopened until now. I went out and bought the 1/2" and 1/4"...

Thanks Doug! I wasn't going to make one with folding legs but that
Bourbon guy was fun to watch.

Lee, I was looking for a rectangular design say 6' or so by 3'. All wood. I'm not sure I have a preferred type base. I've got the chairs already. Like Erich, the table will be outdoors but under...
