That's sort of the whole point of the hitachi... It's the only saw its size with a frame strong enough to tension a blade that big. I figure that if I was going to own a hitachi, I might as well...
OK, i know.. this is a really stupid newbie question.
I have a hitachi bandsaw which i got for a steal ($300) at a yard sale.
I have an (unopened) 3" blade which I plan to use to resaw some...
Silly question, but... can you put your tools in an enclosed area (box, crate, on the floor wrapped with plastic and duct taped, etc)? if you could have a single small air space then you would have...
Actually, if you check general's catalog, you will see that they sell an extensible blade which is designed to stretch as you increase saw height, but will not wander when you lower the height. You...
Fair enough recommendation, but given space, time, and my marriage, not a realistic one ;)
As they say, not everything is logical in life!
Any thoughts on guide systems? :D
Hi all,
i haven't posted here in ages! Hope everyone doesn't mind my opening with a question...
I am trying to finally get around to setting up a hitachi cb75f bandsaw that i picked up used...
me, too! i've a horrible TS but would find it more useful to have a jointer and planer than a nicer ts. and fwiw: be patient and buy used. I recently saw a robland 12" combo jointer/planer for...
I've heard of them breaking, but never heard of them breaking IN. Perhaps you're talking about some stuff that people do to new blades (e.g. rounding the back edges)?
That's odd. In my state, one can purchase "double" breakers, which use a single space in the panel and provide two circuits. They're a bit more expensive and probably have some other limitations,...
there's no reason to think sawstop will go out of business. $6 milion+ in sales a year isn't enormous but it's not chump change either. And even if they DID go out of business, you'd have ample...
From the boating world, I'm pretty sure I've seen t-shaped stainless somewhere. If you face the "t" downwards, it could be glued in, which would provide an ultra secure hold for the visible strip. ...
well, you can move the wood to inside air, or you can move inside air to the wood.
How much wood are you storing?
How do you store it?
If you're a small hobbyist with a small wood stack, you...
After some research on my own, I got one of these. (Hitachi 14.4v 3/8 cordless drill, 2 batts, flashlight, 1 charger, $99). I've been very happy with it.
I just dont' think it makes sense.
Well, it makes sense if it's cheap. Which is to say:
IF the price of the shopsmith for the tools you will use is less than the price of comparable separates,...
This company makes a 10' long bit so I'd call them and ask how to drill your hole!
the thing I always like about a BS is the safety issue. TSs always make me nervous. A BS won't suddenly shoot the wood towards/away from you, which I like. A lot. Though as noted there are a few...
heh. last time I tried to do a "real" flattening of a smallish plane blade, I looked the other way and sliced a deep gouge in my thumb. Clearly I have the wrong equipment as it can't be MY fault,...
You're partially right.
It almost certainly won't implode. And even if it did, it's metal (so it wouldn't shatter) and it's not super high pressure, and imploding is safer than exploding though...
Not that I know of. Knapp has a 12" and 16" combo. robland has a 12". But you probably knew that.
But at some point the combo units seem to get pretty insane. I mean, the knapp 16" combo is...
Bigger tanks are better; the motor cycles less.
Bigger tanks are also heavier. And nonportable.
If all you want to do is drive a nailgun, get a smallish pancake.
If you want to drive more...
where are you?
If you're in or near boston, before i'd spend $1000 on the Grizz I'd look at this:
Everybody chant:
PRICE WAR!
PRICE WAR!
WE WANT A PRICE WAR!
heh. Just my self-interest talking again....
The point was lost because the point is meaningless.
If you slam your hand down on a running saw with a SawStop you will probably suffer a deep gash.
Did the SawStop prevent injury, even in...
If you're in Kansas, i'd get on this pretty fast, if it's what I think it is.
Really,when there is this type of stuff available used, why buy new?
