Not available anywhere at Lowes here in CO. Any other "big box store" plywood I've seen is just total garbage :(

I'm going to be building a whole set of base cabinets, french cleat tool storage, as well as a couple of "flip top" carts, and finally, a big workbench on casters, to house my SawStop JSS. My garage...

I used Odie's Oil in our in the camper van. Looks great, beads water, and it's "rebuildable", so I can reapply it every 6 months or whatever.

Also: cheap and easy

Based on my research, the best solution for a 110v setup for "customize to your space" would be a home made Harbor Freight + SDD + Wynn style filter + Amazon trash can style setup. You can mix and...

Thanks for the replies. For the record, it's a 450sq ft space. Right at 20x22.

I do really like the idea of the 2" thick boards applied on the bottom of the roof rafters. The 5" of space between...

There is no "single dust collector" other than the Oneida Supercell, which is $2500. If you want cheaper than that, you'll have to have a 2 stage solution.

For smaller tools, anything with a 2"...

I've got a detached garage workshop. I want insulate the roof a bit to help with occasionally heating it up in the winter to make it more comfortable to work inside. I'm in Denver, CO where it's...

The primer and topcoat shouldn't have any issues, as that's what everyone recommended.

I could have certainly sanded a little too smooth though, especially in the corner areas. So if this has...

Ok, cool, I'll do that re: 6" collar. Was wondering if it was better to modify the inlet, or do a reducer.

And you're saying to use 5" duct from the SDD inlet to my tool, and then a 4" reducer on...

Ahh, I got that wrong, apparently it's 5".



That's exactly what I was planning and was the picture that I used to plan my build. I did get my numbers wrong, thanks for the beta.

So I need...

What is "SC" in your post?

My current build list for my 2 stage 1.5hp setup is this:

- HF Dust Motor - $150 - https://www.harborfreight.com/2-hp-industrial-5-micron-dust-collector-97869.html...

I'm finishing some nightstands and a dresser with a white finish. The cases are high quality BB with edge banded edges and painted with 2 coats of BIN primer and 2 coats of Benjamin Moore Cabinet...

Ron, thanks for that electrical advice. I didn't even think this was a possibility, so I never thought about it. My, by far, best bet would be to get an Oneida Supercell, as that would take care of...

Do you have any links to the hose you'd recommend?

I was going to use one of those Rockler quick change things with flexible hose...

So these calculations are appreciated, but there is another thread where someone contacted Grizzly's technical support about the weird curves, and they verified that in fact, they were correct. Here...

I missed this comment earlier, so can you elaborate on this? I'm no electrician, but I'm not sure how I could operate 220 AND 110 at the same time in the garage. As in, if I ran 220 and setup a sub...

Thanks for the realistic comments vs the "anything less than 5hp, you might as well do nothing" :)

I have learned the basics, so I probably know enough to be dangerous, but the pressure vs air is...

So the consensus seems to be:

Go ahead and do the 2 stage cyclone, even if it's a 1.5hp machine, but do a 10ft hose instead and move it between machines.

That would totally work, as I...

Did you ever figure out the real difference?

The 1601MB, at least on Amazon, has a metal ring and looks identical other than the color. It's $45 shipped vs $65 shipped for the yellow. ...

I just found the fan curves on the Grizzly and holey moley it's a POS, so that's off the list. https://bit.ly/3nSv4Rv

So long term goal is a bigger shop with 220, so that will be a whole new DC...

Have a question for the dust collection experts. I'm stuck on a 1-1.5HP DC system, as I have max a 20amp 110v breaker available. My current shop is a 1930 garage, with 2, 20amp lines run into it from...

Hi, I've tried to search through the forums for some miter saw recommendations, but everything posted is quite a few years old, so it's out of date in terms of current models and capabilities.

I...

Thanks guys. I’ll go with the KV ones.

$20 a set seems like a good price, and they seem to get great reviews all around.

For the shop, I use regular ones, but for kitchen and dressers and...

Is there a better forum for this over "General"?


I'm in need of some soft close drawer slides for 2 dressers and 2 nightstands that I built. I want to use soft close, full extension, but I don't...

Relevant thread, as I was thinking of asking a similar thing.

I have cinder block right now, and while I painted it gray when I moved in, I'm not loving it. It's super unlevel and it's a PITA...
