Thanks all!

Picture of the original Delta chisels vs the Lee Valley (Nakahashi). Chisels are the same length but the inner bit is significantly longer on the Nakahashi.

I saw a post that said the Nakahashi bits from Lee Valley were compatible with the Delta 14-651. Some of my original chisels were pretty blue, so I ordered a set. After sharpening, I noticed that...

An 18bx owner (and hobbyist woodworker) here. I can't believe how long I lived without a bandsaw and despite purchasing it at the peak of its price point am very happy I had it for the past 12 to 18...

Another vote for sheppardbrackets. I did some 2" shelves into studs (longest is maybe 60"). No sag yet, but won't be surprised when it happens.

It is amazing for inlays especially if you don't have the skills/patience to do them by hand. Also, if you have something that you need to route accurately and don't want to make a jig, it's a...

Yeah, although the riving knife, hold down and blade guard help (I would probably have a couple of holes in my shop or me from ripping construction lumber if not for these features).

Given the current economic, transportation, and other issues, if you can find a discount jump on it. Probably good not to wait too long. I waited too long and could have bought a better bandsaw for...

Wayne (OP),

Were you able to resolve the issue? Please let us know how it turns out.

I had considered alternatives, but given I start to run into height limits of about 79" when the saw is being moved from a section of my shop to another, I like the fact it doesn't seem to add much...

Thanks again. I plan to use movers to get the thing in my basement shop and the more I can figure out ahead of time, the less I will need to keep them waiting. I am not sure if it would be easy to...

@Paul - Late revisit - I assumed we would go to vertical using the back of the saw where the single wheel would be installed. If I install the mobility kit before raising the saw, I would lift to...

Considering an 18bx for a basement and I really would benefit from it being mobile.. I have 8' ceilings but have HVAC in some spots at 79".

Spec for the 18bx says 77.75". Any one have one with...

I'm in Southwest
Ohio and I have an ash tree that needs to come down. It sits between the driveways of two houses in about a 8 foot wide section of earth. Diameter at 4.5' is approx 31". I...

I plan to attach it to the skirt. I will use blocks with loose tenon into the skirt and screws into the underside of the tabletop. The blocks have a cutout so the loose tenons can be pulled out...

My kids are doing remote learning and I needed another table. I reclaimed a table from a curbside. The top was junk but the legs and skirt had something like birds eye hickory.

I had wanted to...

I have a first floor staircase (rarely used) with a 12" ledge running beside it. It sits directly under a second floor staircase (see pictures). I'd like to build built-in shelving units. The house...

Thanks all. I thought about the bandsaw technique as yet another reason I need a bandsaw...

Regarding the Big Boxb lumber, I actually need relatively small cross sections (3 × 1.25" and the like,...

I am using a blade guard which may be saving me as it might be why the board isnt getting on top of the blade.

Thanks for the input. The boards are cheap enough that I will just get another and...

I'm using a sawstop 3hp (the one before there was a contractor saw). I'm ripping home depot 2x10s and 2x12s. I have the riving knife and kick back pawls installed. All boards sat in my shop for...

Well, the seller cancelled the order, so if you "missed out" on spending $500, don't feel too bad.

One seller was selling about 10 of them for $500 (each) with free shipping and had a good rating. I've had it in my wishlist for a few years so I bit at that price. Hoping it wont need to be...

I have a fs41 (used) with the mortising table attachment (came with). The thing scares/intimidates the .... out of me and I have never used it. Any safety recommendations other than don't stick...

After the 24 hour curing period, will a coat of waterlox on top of the cured waterlox coat "bond" with the coat underneath it or is it a separate layer? If it bonds, how long can one wait before the...

I have an old elite FS41 that I purchased used 10+ years ago. I have done very little to it over the years and it keeps running happily (although it doesn't get used that often).

That said, the...
