I have one of the Cutech planers that Ken mentioned. Excellent machine. If you get the carbide cutters, you won't be worrying about how many cutting sides you have, they seem to last forever.

I see that Jessem is offering a new one. Looks nice, would bear further consideration if I didn't like my Incras so well.
I have the extension tables on the Supermax 1632 and feel like they're an excellent accessory. They fold down when not in use, so add virtually nothing to the footprint of the machine.
Another...
Another vote for the Supermax. Zero problems with mine, just a solid machine. The quick height adjust feature is nice which, if I'm remembering correctly, the Jet doesn't have.
The best thing about the LV collars, for me, is that they're easier to adjust for depth. I recently finished a hall table with spindly legs. The dowel holes had to be deep enough to cover the dowels,...
Yup, Jon, 3/8" and 1/2" are included.
I have the Jessem and love it. The one thing I would change (and did) is the drill collars they provide. They use a set screw, which must be tightened against a flat part of the drill bit. Lee Valley...
With both the Jet 1020 and the Supermax 1632, there was a bit of adjustment of tracking at first. Whether this was the new conveyor belt stretching or seating itself, or other parts settling into...
Yes, on all of the above. ^^
Like John, I can't imagine an upside down blade would cut at all. Maybe about as well as a butter knife.
Don't get me started, sir.
Another factor when tapering thin sticks is clamping them as close to the ends of the sticks as possible. If you don't, the ends will vibrate like hell. Just finished some spindly legs for a hall...
I have two Incras. Bought the second one because I liked the first one so much. Haven't used the Kreg, but I would be surprised if it's as strong as the Incras.
Too bad the Jessem jig only goes to 1/2", John. It's a great tool. Any chance you could use two 1/2" dowels side by side instead of one 5/8"? The spacing/registration transfers easily and accurately...
About the only worthwhile stuff at a good price that I've seen around here on Craig's List is stuff that I was selling. And yes, it went fast.
Agree with Glenn, and would add that whatever kind of laminate material they've used for the table surface is probably bad for a router table top. It's thin and scratches very easily. Don't think it...
Well, obviously, depth of cut. 6" is probably good for most projects, but you can be sure of this: If you go with 6", there is a project in your future that will make you wish you'd gone with 8".

OK, this one?
On mine, it's never collected dust either. Maybe a difference in the guides or the dust collection port?
My lower guides collect some dust, but I just hit them with a some air...
Yonak, mine is the 10-326. Motor doesn't get hot, but I recall reading that it's a different motor than what was used on your saw. Also haven't seen any dust build-up on the little plastic window. I...
Beautiful love seat! The cushions hurt my eyes.
I think you're very wise to lean toward the 17-18" range. Very little difference in shop footprint, big difference in what blades you can properly tension. I have a 14" Rikon. No problems with it,...
I'm using a Dust Deputy with a Fein Turbo I. The stock hose supplied with the Dust Deputy fits right over the intake fitting on the Fein. It was a tad loose, so I added a simple hose clamp to secure...
Agreed. Make sure they (and their offspring) are dead before inviting them into your house.
Pretty sure I remember Mr. Lee posting last year that they weren't doing it anymore, too expensive.
You would need an air compressor of some kind to periodically hit the outside of the filter to blow off fine dust inside. I only have a small one, but Wynn recommends no more than 50-60 psi so it...
