Hi,
I own a G0636X and like it. I have had it for about 4-5 years. Among other things, I have cut logs, resawn wide boards, and cut veneer, cut dovetails, and even trimmed graphite golf shafts ...

Hi Chris,
The magnetic starter on the DC has "on" and "off " buttons. Those work just fine. So I turn the collector on with the "On" button. If the remote was working correctly, then both the...

Hi,
I have an Oneida Dust Gorilla with the factory installed remote. It stopped working and I ordered the replacement fob and receiver. I put the new one in, changing one wire at a time so that I...

Howie,
I was using BLO after the dye and before the shellac. The BLO was to pop the grain. I will give the Mineral sprits and steel wool a try.


Thanks,
John

Hi,
In some areas of my project the BLO was applied too thick. Hence, it is shiny there. Is there a way to remove or thin out the BLO. Under the BLO is a waterbased dye. Would Mineral Spirits...

Hi,
I have the Grizzly G0636X and really like it. I have resawed razor thin veneer with it and also cut all sorts of things that require precision (e.g. Dovetails). It has done everything I have...

I have a Grizzly 8 inch spiral headed jointer and like it a lot. It joins the boards dead flat every time. I have a PM15 HH planer with a Byrd head that I have been less than impressed with. To...

Get the table saw. I have both the TS55EQ ( along with rails and the MFT) and a table saw. I almost never use the TS55EQ and find myself always using the table saw. The TS55EQ is very hard to use...

I am sure the 60HH is nice. That said, I own both Grizzly and Powermatic tools. In my experience, the Grizzly tools I own (8 inch spiral headed jointer, and B0636X Bandsaw) are better in...

Hi -
Easy question. I just can't seem to find a definitive answer. The back to my book case is tongue and groove boards 5 inches wide by 1/2 inch thick. They will be placed in rabbets. What is...

Hi -
I am getting a grinder. My use will be mostly plane irons and chisels. Seems the 6 inch Baldor comes in two speeds - 3600 RPM and 1800 RPM. Can anyone think of why one speed would be better...

Hi -
This thread is very timely as I am also shopping for a grinder. Can someone explain which is the preferred speed? 1800 RPM vice 3600 RPM? Are the benefits to one speed vice another?

I have the LN BU jointer and like it. I also have 607 Bedrock BD which I like. Frankly, I feel I can accomplish the same result with both. They both will take razor thin shavings or thick shavings...

I have not had particularly good luck with my PM15 HH planer and especially with Powermatic's customer service. If it was my money, I would buy a Grizzly - they seem to stand behind their products...

Sorry to hear about your drill press. I also had a bad experience with Powematic. This was on my 15HH planer. Never again will I buy Powermatic. Worse, they did not stand behind their product

Hi Lee -
How large a blade will fit in the saw? I prefer to use olson 9 point scroll saw. I saw some traffic that the saw would only take smaller blades such as those found in -- jewlers shops. ...

Hi - I used the great lake castors and bought a variety of blades ranging from a 1 inch Lenox trimetal down to a 1/8 inch timberwolf.

Ian,
I have the G0636X bandsaw and it is every bit as as good as people says. I use a 1 inch Lenon tri metal on this saw to cut 1/32 veneer out of 8 and 12 inch boards. I also put a 1/8 blade on it...

Brad, I have had very bad luck with the one Powermatic product I own. I also had bad luck with their customer service. I am sorry to say my planer came with a glaring manufacture's defect that...

Michael,
I had bad luck with a powermatic 15 inch planer and even worse luck with Powermatic customer service. I have had great luck with the two Grizzly machines. I think with Powermatic you are...

Larry,
What a fantastic and useful post you did. I have a Powermatic 15HH that I have been fighting snipe. I came to the exact same conclusions and settings as you.

My bed rollers are even...

I have a scrub plane for the purpose you described. It works very well for its intended purpose. I also have Bedrock Jack for takins off lesser amounts of wood. I find that the combination scrub...

This is helpful dialogue from folks with significant expertise. While you are here, I will chime in and say that I never seem to get a wire edge. I have used various honing jigs and Shapton stones...

One point that might have been already made ... Glue the smooth side down so the rough side of the leather faces out. It will be more grippy.

reluctantly, I got it at Michael's. Overpriced and weak selection.
