I remember the original Beadlock had overlapping holes in the jig. There was only one set up, you drilled all the holes and you used their tenon, or got the router it to make your own tenon. The...

If by bat you mean the animal, I would venture to guess the Hoffman dovetail joining system.
Usually mdf should be dead on. It could be the mdf swelled around the edges where it absorbed moisture, the middle may be okay but you won’t know unless you cut into it or measure with deep reach...
My local code requires tempered glass for windows and doors less than 18” off the floor. Code doesn’t cover furniture though so take from that what you will. Your local glass guy should be able to...
If it still runs and cuts well and you have the room for it, fit a crosscut sled and make it a dedicated crosscut saw.
I wonder besides not destroying the blade, is there even a cartridge that needs replacing after an event? If not, this would even be beyond the Bosch system that was pulled from he US market after...
I’ve made a few doors including ones like your picture. Loose tenons are superior to dowels, I’ve seen plenty of joint failures in windows and doors with dowels. Also, if you haven’t considered it,...
I like shopping with Acme Tools. Each tool has a spec page that lists among other things the country of origin.
The X-5 series just had an extended 5 year warranty and some accessories from the regular version, the factory was the same. At the time the Unisaws were still being assembled in their Tupelo plant....
I have a Davis and Wells outfitted with a chuck and I use end mills. I have 1/4" to 1/2" sizes from JDS for their Multi-router, but ones from MSC and elsewhere are probably cheaper. The only thing...
Engineer's scale tape measure is in decimal feet.
The old K-bodies were advertised as 12”, 24”, 31”, 40”, 50”, 60”, 82”, and 98” in the US.
Usually when it gets backed up, the chips are really compacted in there even if the port looks clear. Get some compressed air or a blower and blast it at the cutter head and all around.
It smells like I just contracted cancer every time I step into their store. But the really troubling thing is I no longer notice the smell as I step out.
If the miter slot is a t-slot with a matching t-bar, a threaded through-hole through the miter bar will allow a knob or handle with male thread to contact the bottom of the slot and “push up” the...
He needs to run a frame the same thickness as the battens along the perimeter of the metal. Screw the frame into the metal. Then pocket hole the battens to the frame and attach the show boards to the...
The 50-284 extension would be for a 52” Unifence. The 50-285 extension would be for a 30” Unifence.
Six would be correct.
They already tried to get discontinue it once before but Steve Base at the Festool training school convinced them that a lot of trim carpenters use them when scribing moldings and cabinets. It really...
It’s a little spendy but I love my Metabo paint remover. It uses carbide inserts like those found in a helical cutterhead. Dust collection is pretty good too.
My preference is to avoid slotted screws at all cost. But if you foresee using counterbored slotted screws, then get the cabinetmaker tips.
I have no suggestion on the order, but you can time yourself on a dry fit (including the time to “apply” glue) to see how much you can do given the open time. If it’s not enough time, you can glue as...
My favorite blade is still the stock blade that came with my Unisaw, and I have a Forrest WWII. I believe it was made for Delta in New Zealand, 10”x50 ATB&R.
Conventional knobs will require a hole drilled 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" from the edge of the door, so 5 to 5-1/2" wide stiles work well. You want to keep the stile wide enough so the knob isn't too "crowded"...
Panel thickness will depend on how much of a rabbet you want to reveal between the rail/stile and the panel. Typical interior doors are 1-3/8" thick so a 1/4" panel will yield a 9/16" rabbet on...
