Nice saw, John. Looks really clean in the CL photo. That saw really wasn't low-end back in the day. I went to vintagemachinery.org and looked up the MBF price with a stand in 1958. $275. That...

Gordon,
I have a DC-33 on a stand I made with casters. I think your 380 is a little bigger, but close. The bed is 29 1/4" from the floor. It's comfortable for me, and not at all tipsy. I used...
I used Rustoleum Hammered paint on my last machine restoration, and I really like the results. Very shiny with a hammered look. It dries to the touch pretty quickly, but takes about a week or so...
You should NEVER buy used machines! They are rusty, dirty, heavy, and dangerous. Seriously, keep buying the new machines, so I can have all the old stuff for my shop.
Unfortunately, I don't think so. At least not at those prices. There is not a lot of bidding competition, if that is your concern. I bought three different blades, the RAS blade, a glue line rip...
Very nice. You will love that saw. My old dewalt has pretty much replaced my scms. It does everything better. (except for portability) As David said, a good blade will really make all the...
Mine is 20" tall x 14" wide x 24" deep. The air flow seems to fill in the corners first, and it fills nearly completely without any help. But I'm not sure what would happen if you made it really...
Way too much "stuff". I applaud his effort, but he's gone too far with tool "collecting". I find it hard to believe that anyone could work efficiently or safely in that shop.
I put a window in the top of my rectangular bin, and it works well. Just shine a flashlight in there, and you can see when it's full.

Absolutely not. My Walker Turner jointer is from the early 50s, and it is top notch. An old Delta or Rockwell or even the Craftsman would be much superior to a new benchtop machine, in my opinion. ...
Here's a link to my posts on OWWM about building the cyclone. You have to be registered to view the forum it's on. It was a lot of work, but well worth it. The Pentz cyclone design is the best, in...
I would go with a cyclone. The efficiency is so much better than any other design. With a bag type system, you will still have dust in the air, and a mess. A cyclone does not have to be that...
In setting up my DC system, I had to shrink some PVC fittings slightly also. I did it with heat. Put one or two hose clamps over the end, and heat with a heat gun as you tighten the clamps. It...
