Thank you again!

Hmmm...sorry but one more clarification needed. You suggest I use black, red, and green wires from the cord but the manual shows black, white, and green. Do I just use the red wire from the new cord...

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. I did purchase a 14-30P plug with cord so will attach it as you suggested. I'm looking forward to using 240v and freeing up a 110v for other uses.

Thanks to everyone for the quick and very informative responses. This is exactly what I was hoping for when I asked the question.

I've been on the site for quite a while but am still amazed at the...

In my workshop, I already have 220 wiring that uses a 14-30R outlet (for modern dryer's I believe). I have a Grizzly GO771Z table saw that can convert to 220 just by switching the wires in the motor...

For me....YouTube. If I want to know how to do something and don't know how, there's a video out there that will show me.

I've had a DVR for about 10 or 11 years and love it. At times, I'll use the swivel head even for some smaller bowls just because it gets me away from the rails and gives me more room to work.

This is my belief as well. Robertson screws have a tapered square slot that "sticks" really well to the screwdriver. They're great for one handed assembly as they'll stay in place really well.

I am in agreement with you about disliking Oak. I'm not a fan and mostly don't like it. Having said that, I own a house at the Oregon coast that has oak floors that my wife and I just had refinished....

I have one of these and I believe Verizon still sells them but you need to use the website link to get one (or at least I had too). ...

Comments: WOW!
Critiques: I've got nothing!

When I started turning I was concerned about this as well. I researched and found conflicting reports about Watco and other danish oils which is what I wanted to use at the time.

I finally decided...

Thanks again to everyone for responding. I appreciate all the help and decided to go for a small table saw for the versatility it offers. I ended up buying the Dewalt because of its rack and pinion...

Thanks Glenn and Wow, I've never seen anything like those little buggars. They're a little too specialized I think but they certainly get added to my "wish I could" list.

Thanks for the suggestion Loren,

I've thought about a used small tablesaw and I've been looking in the area for a short while (Portland, OR) but haven't found much in used equipment. I'm thinking...

Thanks for the info...I'll do a search and see if I can pick up the book.

Heather:

The bandsaw is actually high on my list as I can use it for bowl blanks. It's also partially why I'm limited on space as the little I have is reserved for this. Having said that, I don't...

Meant to say nice box by the way...that's exactly the kind of thing I'd like to attempt!!

Can you tell me what you use to build the joints? Are you using a benchtop table saw or one of the...

Thanks and I understand about the strength of mitered joints. I do have the router and am halfway through building a finger joint jig for it. Unfortunately, part of the process of building the jig...

Yes, I've tried both but with limited success. I just can't hand saw straight enough to build boxes to my satisfaction.

I did build a shooting board and believe this will work given enough time...

Ok, here's the condensed version of my problem:
What small footprint saw will cut accurate 90 degree crosscuts or 45 degree miter cuts in smallish pieces of wood to be used for making boxes?

Maybe I see this a little differently than some but I think wooden bowls are among the most beautiful things on the planet. This beauty is not only visual though, it extends to how the wood feels in...
