Ditto. 900+ in the spring is common if I just open the overhead door.

Honestly with an air cleaner running my shop can get cleaner than inside the house

The bars are just hits by the detector. You care about the numbers, particularly the fines count. Figure out your baseline, then decide what is acceptable. You can also bring it inside your house or...

Wow are you 7' tall? I'm 6'1" and find the table to be a good height (and I've raised up everything else in my shop since I prefer taller work surfaces too)

Cool pics!

For the fence, you actually have a Microset, not a Jet Lock. AFAIK Delta was still selling the Microset fence for these saws well into the 90's. I cut the rails on mine down.

For the...

These saws are tippy with the table and motor removed for transport. The base will scoot out from under you when you tip the saw so strap the base if using a handtruck and have a helper brace the...

Mike Farrington on YouTube has a video where he refurbishes one of these saws. A good watch to see the disassembly and the various components, though I would personally have made different choices...

You practically stole it at that price. You should be prepared to replace all the bearings. The previous owner spun one of the bearings on the lower shaft on mine and I needed the services of a...

Very Super Cool Tools sells a T-square fence that uses an aluminum extrusion. I have one and use it almost exclusively in the low position.

If that's the case, I'll take back my miter saw recommendation and instead say get a track saw.

I have all 3 tools you asked about, and the track saw gets used the least.

Unless you need to crosscut sheet goods, based on everything you’ve said and the machines you already have, you’ve convinced me that a miter saw is what you want.

Yes, I moved mine out of my truck bed with a helper. We removed it from the base (three bolts in not the most convenient locations).

Don't repeat don't lift it from the ends of the tables, ...

^^This. Worked perfectly on some memorial flag boxes I made last year. No need to scrape glue out of the pores of the wood.

I would adjust it and cut a new edge. If you are able to pry off the runner, and your back fence can still be adjusted, it's not too bad of a job to do. I did it last year with my crosscut sled so,...

The rest

Jim, this was my order of operations. 2 layers of 3/4" MDF, wrapped in 1X maple, plastic laminate on top. I used a template bit for the lift opening and a giant rabbeting bit for the plate shelf....

Ditto what Bruce said. Make a version of Norm's simple panel cutter.

I too used to have to try to build cabinet carcasses without being able to square a corner. A piece of half inch ply, a single...

That vintage will be the mustard color (non-metallic) paint.

FWIW I have a 2001 PM66 and I bought a color-matched quart from Sherwin Williams last year. About $40. I painted the rails with a foam...

Pat nailed it. Long term, it's in every studios' best interest to lock their content up behind a streaming paywall with a list of Terms & Conditions that leaves you powerless. Once physical discs die...

Well said Edward. sad/true

I got Sling a while back, and signed up for 3 months to get their AirTV package. It puts your off-air local channels into a program guide along with your Sling Orange channels. You use the Sling app...

The Biesemeyer fence & rails could fetch $2-300 on their own. Up to you and a potential buyer as to what the whole package would bring, given that you are saying the saw has issues.

I consigned...

FWIW, mine is higher in the front than the back

Recall that you typically shim the table to align a cabinet saw; so when you check your blade runout at 45*, if you are out then shim up...

I only have experience with an 8" jointer so I can't comment on your primary question. But $900 is an excellent price for a DJ-20 in good condition.

Last year I got tired of waiting for my welder buddy to get back to me, so I bought a 120/240V welder from Eastwood. It will do flux core and gas MIG. I used it for a couple small jobs with 14ga...

The inability to add a riving knife to the traditional cabinet saws is what caused the design changes. Tough to implement with a pivoting arbor.
