Thanks for letting me know this William. I am making my deposit today. Altnough I have a LOT of learning to do, I have decide this is the machine that will fit my needs and at an excellent price....

William- (Remember I am TOTALLY new to this area of woodworking) So I should be able to get a 16x28 extrusion from Shapeoko or someone else when I buy the kit and use that as I assembly it to give me...

William Adams- thank you for telling me about the Shapeoko 3. It sounds like it could be a very good option for me. I have sent them an email about the "expandability" of it. It says 16x16 and I...

I want to buy my first CNC router. It will be a used unit and will be for small hobby projects only. (My budget is VERY limited and somply cannot got to #3000 or up machines) I have read several...

Finally talked with HF Tech support today. They said the fade should not be happening. The said it was probably a bad seal. They offered to send me a new cylinder to be shipped and I install or just...

I also checked. Strange that the larger one does not have the safety bars. Both are from "Central Hydraulics" but that really doesn't mean the same company manufactured it :/

AHA!! Thanks Keith. For some reason I suspected this was a "normal" thing but still going to call the Service line Tuesday. Had not thought of the sticks in the lower traks. If they say it is normal,...

Ted. Thanks for the input (and others). I have purged and added fluid as the instructions stated so it is not fluid. It is new so if it is "damaged seals" it came that way. I will check with HF...

Ray- There is only about 5 lbs sitting on it. You normally lower it with a release cable that is mounted on the handle. (here is the link to the actual table....

Several people on here have used the Harbor Freight Lift Table to make an adjustable assembly table. I am working on doing the same. I just got the 1000 lb. lift table and am working on the torsion...

I gave these to my mother-in-law today for her birthday. I also posted them on my Facebook page. I now have three people willing to buy from me and several more reminding me of their birthdays and...

I had never used a lathe before. I took a pen turning class at the local woodworkers shop and that was the first time to use a lathe. I bought a Jet 1220 and here is the results of my first turning...

I just use it for a light topcoat on top of stained wood for children's furniture. I don't like a heavy poly or varnish coat. I really liked this product. I see that Minwax has a product also that I...

Does anyone still sell Olympic Antique Oil Finish?

Garage shop, plywood walls and ceiling, left natural.

I have a Craftsman I bought new in the late 70's. Converted it to 220 about 20 years ago. Still going strong and is a great saw.

I am trying to decide between the MSLC or the Bench Dog ProMax cast iron table extension for routers. They are close in price etc. Does anyone have pros or cons on either one of these?

Necessity is the mother of invention. (small vacuum hose from Home Depot, some PVC, and two 1x4"s suspended from the ceiling.

Bosch Colt PR20EVSNK Variable Speed Palm Router Kit for me.

Thanks Keith for making me want one even more...and now they aren't available :)

Thanks for the info Jim. The PCS is 27" deep which is the same as the Bench Dog. (The SS Industrial model is 30") so that should be OK and the tilt is no problem. Rockler just sent me a tech sheet...

Has anyone put a Bench Dog ProMAX Cast Router Table Extension for Table Saws (40-102) from Rockler on their Sawstop PCS TS? How well does it fit and does it work well? Since Quality Grinding is...

The only reason I was asking is that is exactly what I am doing now with my Sawstop PCS. I just wrote to Quality Grinding today to find a cost since a lot of guys on the forum recommended them. I was...

Mike. What kind of router wing are you installing? Custom made or just mounting into the existing extensions?

Just got an email from Chris that Quality Grinding is no longer doing extension wings. I had wanted a router mounted and asked what the price would be. He replied simply "Richard we are no longer...
