I watched the James Hamilton video referenced above and agree that it is excellent. I do wonder how this will all fall out, particularly with respect to sliding tablesaws.
I have lost part of a...

You didn't say where you are. Out of curiousity I looked at the local craigslist: a 20" powermatic in Minneapolis, with grinder. This is an older, large, solid as a brick version.

Plugging it into the outlet should be okay for a quailty VFD. I power off the circuit to mine if I'm going on vacation, and have not lost the settings yet. That would be the annoying if it...

Some sliders allow a dado, some do not.

For my 5" Mirka there is an intermediate thin pad, hook on one side and loop on the other. It goes on the sander to cure exactly the problem you describe. The company thinks of them as a...

Some small notes from my own experience. I have a router table attached to the leftside of my Unisaw. It is indeed the quickest tool for smaller things and router bits are cheap. I had a Delta HD...

The advantage of a moving top is that you can set an outfeed helper once and leave it there, a roller or whatever. On the other hand, the heavier industrial planers all have moving tables, because...

Most 230 volt motors can be reset to 115 volt. Look at the motor plate and see if it states both voltages.

That is outstanding. A simple bookcase, yet elegant.

Thanks to all for the positive compliments. The sides of the top drawer opening are 3/4 material, the Peter Rabbit block covers the ends of them and has a long narrow (3") drawer inset to the back...

I just finished this for a new grand daughter. It was supposed to be done in Aug when she arrived in the world, but que sera sera. My first attempt at curved work, first use of veneer. Cherry...

I have made several (15) for the family out of cypress, and they hold up well: several years old now, 12/15 are outside year round (southern Minn). The pattern I like is from the New Yankee...

I recently decided to make use of the 125mm x 55mm high Whitehill combi-head + bearing for pattern shaping. (I've used it with insert knives + power feeder for cabinet doors). And what I'd been...

I have a 22 x 28 shop with a gambrel roof. Upstairs is not heated, but incredibly useful as a storage space. All the longer lumber is up there, along with rarely used tools, e.g. the power...

A favorite of the older iron crowd is a Hammond Trim-O-Saw. They were used for lead type in the printing trade, smaller and very accurate, with a sliding table.

I have a 22x28 shop with a gamble roof, so all the bigger lumber is upstairs, along with a zillion other things. About 2 years ago I needed to make more shelving up there, and at the same time I...

In my last build I took the time to put my pattern bit on the shaper: Whitehill 125mm combi head (4.9 in). First, the finish was fantastic. Second, once you started feeding there were no catches...

There is a saying that an edge sander is one of the last tools people buy, and one of the last they sell when downsizing. That is true for me: I use mine on essentially every single project. It's...

On my current build (bow front chest) I decided to use the Whitehead combi head (shapter) for pattern routing, I expected the larger diameter would be better (125mm = 4.9 in), but had not expected...

From all I've read, the Jessem dowling jig and the DowelMax are a pretty evenly matched. I used a DowelMax for several years, now passed on to my son; I now have a Festool domino. I'm not sure...

I have never tilted the table on my 26" Moak bandsaw. The most common tilted cut I have done is for an Adirondack chair, and that is simply easier on the 14" bandsaw, given the size of the part. ...

Given the rust, I expect you are a bit high. I looked at what has sold one the owwm forum; the ones in that range were unrusted daily users; but that was admiteddly pretty small sample. If it...

I have a Felder KF700S saw/shaper with a router spindle, also a router table. The second is a lot quicker to set up for a simple profile, so it is what I use most often by far. On the other hand...

I think we all need to back up a little bit and ask a few key questions. 1. How much space do you have? 2. What kind of things do you want to build? 3. How much of it (and how much time you...

I haven't been able to log in for a couple of months, and any use of "reset password" ends up with a "not available, try later" message.
Is it just me?
It's not a site I look at during...
