Well your out $170 on the brake and a new blade, but you may have saved you miter gauge, might have prevented it from getting shot off the saw or sending shrapnel, and you know it works...
Tom,
No doubt both are great machines ,so your decision will be based on which features matter most to you.
I own the Akeda and have not used the Leigh, just so you know where I'm coming...
I happened to put an Incra on my SS, but my brother also bought one with the SS frence, so I've used it. Let's face it many of these fences are so close that it is splitting hair. That said, I...
Eric,
There will be one more Creeker in Denver soon. I'm moving back there from St. Louis this spring. I've owned a Sawstop for over a year. FWIW I'd buy it again in a heartbeat, and I think it's...
I also have the 50" LV aluminum. I am rarely, make that never dissappointed with LV's stuff.
The straight edge sees more use than I ever thought, a great sign of a smart buy. Truing up...
Corey,
Right now, I'd have to say that if you are looking for a 3HP model mainly for undertable use, take a long look at the Milwaukee 5625. It was designed with this use in mind, with through...
If I'm getting Christian's point correct, it is a good point. Alot of tools (and other items) labeled made in USA need only meet certain requirements. Like Christian's Werschetsersauceandall, it...

Just to quickly second Roberts advice. Get T-8 fixtures. Electonic ballast=No noise (also 1/3 lower energy cost). I too got some thru HD which have wire grids to prevent the mishaps. I tried to...
Dale,
Sure it's a lot of work, but a new start can be kind of exciting as well. Sometimes a chance to do somethings the way you've wanted. I gone thru two moves (more equipment each time, of...
Kelly,
I haven't been on the forum in the last week, so this may be advice after the fact. IMO, I'd go with the cool blocks. I don't know if the Carter type roller bearing guides are available for...
Good point by Bart. I admited earlier to not using the stock guards. I do use the grrrrrippers a lot and am finding more and more applications. I think of them as guards that stay on my hands...
I find the stock guards on today's tablesaws to be more of a danger than a safety device. They don't line up well. They are difficult to remove and replace which greatly lessens their use. They...
Like Norman said, but make sure they are cool blocks. Other blocks are not meant to run against the blade and generate heat, so with those, a dollar bill's space between the block and the blade is...
Hey Larry,
In answer to your question regarding your drawing I just saved it a a jpeg file and I used my picture editing software (MS Digital Image Pro9) to make chnges. I'm able to encircle...
The T-9 is as good as it gets for rust protection. You may have used too much. Just a light mist and follow the instructions and you should be fine. Do realize, however, that the T-9 is a great...
Jim,
Formica makes for a tough smooth top surface. No need to do the underside. MDF is good for your substrate in that it is very flat (more so than plywood) The trick is to keep it straight as...
Larry,
I don't know if you are still looking for ideas but check the layout below.
Iwould run under florr at least to the TS and Jointer. Nothing worse than a drop in middle of open space.
Larry,
Nice shop. Bathroom and a fridge? When do I move in?
Seriously you've got lots of space so the options abound. The only specific thing that struck me is that you may want a...
Tom,
I leave the duct sizing alone as I've read Pentzke's and Oneida's info, and I'm still confused. And it's not a perfect world when we have 4" ports on most of our machines.
But as to the...
John,
I have to agree with you that a high level of service is becoming less and less common. Generally, if you get really good service, you're probably dealing with the owner as they seem to be...
John,
I would call that common sense. You've taken any moral issue out by making everything else the same.
Take this scenario:
You've always wanted a Lie-Nielson #4 1/2 plane. It's a...
John,
I had the same experience on my first tries. I figured out it was the file size. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you this it just kicks you onto to that "cannot find page" screen. The site...
This local vs internet issue has become an interesting moral dilemma. On the one hand I do like to support the local dealers. I'm glad they're there when I need something that day or when I want a...
