As Bill said, check capacitance and voltage, then go ahead…. Tegards, Rod

Hi Lisa, can you rip 9 feet on the saw using the fence then flip it and rip the remaining 9 feet?

Regards, Rod.

Partially correct.

Starters and switches for 120 volts need to have twice the current carrying capacity at 120 volts as they do at 240 volts.

This increases the starter costs in many cases...

An interesting look back, laughable health and safety standards, a good indication of how far we’ve come.

I have a couple of Lee Valley tapes and a couple of Felder tapes, both are good….Regards, Rod

Bridle and box joints are both rip functions as you are pulling long grain fibres out of the wood. Dovetails are also rip functions when sawing.

Haha, agree about RPN calculators, still using my HP11C.

I’m writing this on an iPad, which has an HP15 emulator on it, I simply cannot use an algebraic calculator.

On the metric/Imperial part,...

The metric system does have metres, centimetres and millimeters.

The trick is to start using it, and use metric design methods. If a 2” wide leg is pleasant to look at, so is a 50mm leg.
