I subscribe to FWW and Popular Wooodworking and have been doing for the past 10+ years. Also have the digital subscription for FWW. I have considered stopping these every time I have to renew as both...

I am still waiting for an order placed in Dec. No ETA yet inspite of a couple of emails. My first experience has been pretty poor and unprofessional.

I have not used the LV shoulder planes but have the LN medium and large shoulder planes. The large has much nicer balance and heft and is much more easier to hold and use. The medium is a bit tippy....

I am in the same boat. Ordered a Koyamaichi from ToolsfromJapan in December and still waiting. Not a good experience. Emails take several weeks to be returned. I ordered a couple of Tasai chisels at...

I have the MFT/3 along with 2 other workbenches - a split top roubo and another traditional bench with twin screw and quick release vises. I love all of them for different reasons but the MFT is the...

Erik, I am in Chicago area and bought it from an authorized reseller. Nothing wrong with the reseller, my issues has been with SCM.

I have a Minimax MM16 /SCM 400P bandsaw and would never buy a Minimax again. It is overrated in the forums. Poor quality castings, fence not 90 degrees to the table, table lock pin loose, cannot tilt...

I have the MM16 as well and find it frustrating that you have to remove the plastic insert to tilt the table which is a pain and it leaves the workpiece unsupported. Perhaps i am doing something...

I am sorry if this has been answered before. I have the Shapton Glass stone 1000 and 8000, and am looking to buy a finer stone. I have read very good reviews on the Sigma Power 13000 but do not have...

I just bought a Jet 12" Jointer Planer combo JJP-12HH. I thought I had it ready to go after putting it on casters and connecting it to 230V. But when I checked for table flatness and coplanar using...

Could you explain a little more how you got the casters in without lifting the machine? I just ordered one and am planning to use the same casters. Although I did read somewhere that JET recommends...

I have tried a lot to use Bevel Up Planes but I am sorry I cannot get myself to like them. The lack of changing blade depth on the fly while planing and lack of a lateral adjustment really annoy me....

Yes, I think this would make the process so much quicker and really a snap like that on the LN. You could easily make these and attach with rare earth magnets to the fence (although i'm not sure if...

Chris & Derek: Completely agree with your comments and I did realize that even before. I think the key point is what Chris mentioned that "The small plow is first and foremost a small plow plane" and...

I was hoping that the cutters would be designed such that they are automatically aligned once you replace the tongue and groove cutters without having to move the fence. All this manual alignment...

Thanks Tom. That is really generous of you! Did not know you were a Woodpeckers reseller but for sure do now. My next purchase will be from your site.

BTW, Justin was gracious enough to exchange...

I just bought a PRL v2 and am not happy with the thumbwheel and am considering swapping with another lift. It takes 7-8 pushes of the thumbwheel to move it 1 revolution (1/16") so to move the bit...
