Hi Patrick
It goes all the way up and down, but there’s a spot in the travel where it catches and is real hard to turn.
It doesn’t do it right side up with the spring in it like for hand held use....

Just got a Triton router. Got it mounted in my table and I’m noticing a “catch” in the lift. It’s not coming from the ratchet assembly, it seems like the plung rod on the opposite side is hitting...

Question for you guys. I made a Thien tophat style separator for my HF dust collector a few yrs ago. While it does work great for separation, I’m taking a pretty large cfm loss.
Has anyone taken the...

I know its still up. Guess what I meant was, its not active like before. Heck the last post was in August I think.

First, if anyone here is familiar with the JP Thien website, what happened to it. Used to be “the” place to go with dust questions.
Anyway, I made a tophat following Retired2’s design, and it works...

Okay, good. Thanks a lot guys!

Morning all, hope everyone has a nice, safe labor day!
This is really hard to explain, so bear with me.
I have a Dewalt single bevel miter saw. Ever since I got it a couple years ago, it seems like...

I agree with the other guys. I have that dust collector, and have 5” mains.

If the bottom also has formica( or backer) it seals it against moisture.

Forgot to mention- I live in central Illinois, and my shop is not climate controlled. It’s hot and humid in summer, and cold and dry in winter. Only use heater when I’m out there.

Hi guys! Been a while, hope this finds everyone well.
I have a question for everyone- what is your preferred material for a router table top?
I’m getting ready to make a new one, but having...

I know this is probably a long shot, but here goes- I’ve heard of an Excel spreadsheet for calculating lampshade parameters. You enter the dimensions of the wooden frame you are wanting to make, and...

Morning all. I’m getting ready to build a new crosscut sled.468171 I imagine this has been asked before, but, does it matter what direction the grain runs? It’s 1/2” baltic birch plywood.
Thanks

Jim, pretty sure I used that same crappy ply you’re talking about. I think it was the boss that got some for a project we needed to get out. At first I thought, wow, look at all those plies, this is...

Thanks for all the help guys!
I have sent an email to a “local” woodworking store (about an hour away). He replied saying he has real bb plywood in 5x5 sheets for 75$. He also has 1/2 sheets.
Also...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but-
for those that have used Baltic birch ply, is it worth the extra cost?
2- if so where do you get full 5’x5’ sheets with reasonable shipping?...

Forgot to say-top is 4’x8’.

Hi guys. My outfeed table/workbench top is really starting to get bad. Top layer of mdf has evidently taken on moisture, and has dips and humps. (Top is three 3/4” sheets atop a 4x4 and 2x4 frame)...

Long story short, I put dilute BLO (2 thinner-1 BLO) over water based dye. On my sample, it lightened it up, but my project, no. Need to get the BLO off so I can lighten the dye.
Read online that I...

Thanks John. That sounds good.

I’m in Illinois about 70 miles south of Chicago

Thanks Kevin

How much do you guys allow for seasonal movement with qswo, specifically drawer fronts in craftsman furniture?

Thanks guys. Been pretty drawn out so far, or maybe just my anal side showing, lol. Been researching Gustav's work for a few years, and scrounging pieces and parts almost as long.
Think the hardest...

I took the easy way and used stopped dados, pocket screwed from underneath.
