Yes, if the box slides smoothly and the slides don't have fine adjustment features then just shim the false front. You may regret using brads. Screws will hold better and be easier to back out while...

Maybe not directly related to the subject but what are the options for moving machines through a standard passageway door opening and over rough ground that is inaccessible to a truck? I have used...

If I were you, I would borrow or rent a timber framing circular saw and make the cut in a single pass. Then clean it up with sandpaper or handplane. It is difficult to align the cuts with the two-cut...

There are variations in the length and width of box springs and mattresses, both between manufacturers and models and even because of manufacturing tolerances. Even more troublesome, there is a wide...

At the risk of stirring the pot, why the obsession with high-end combo and rip blades? I understand the need for a high quality laminate blade because that is the last cut before banding, but solid...

As Patrick Kane points out, the difference between a 15" planer and a 20" planer is more than just 5" of width. Pressure bars and segmented rollers are also differences you may find but those...

Yes. Front vise of the left and end vise on the right is for right-handed woodworker. Front vise on the right and end vise on the left for left-handed woodworker. At least according to the lefties I...

This thread reminded me of milling white oak flooring without a functioning DC system years ago. The air was so thick with dust that I couldn't see across the shop. When the chips pilled up knee-high...

I'm working on a vanity that has 2"x2" legs joined by 3/4" stretchers/rails (lower ones are 4" above end of leg) with faces that are not flush with the faces of the legs - the faces of the...

This type and size of cabinet is often attached to both the wall and the ceiling with nailers in my limited experience. The ceiling nailer provides additional support against sag.

Track saws replace job site table saws if you don't need to make long rips. They are more accurate, safer, easier to move, and leave a better edge.

Not really a learning curve but the right side tracksaw blade may feel awkward. I have right and left side circular saws and am right handed. A Right side blade is more comfortable for short cross...

It is normal. PM recommends against adjusting the spring pressure on the infeed and outfeed rollers. It can be tricky to get the spring pressure re-balanced to where the boards don't rotate while...

Hand sanitizer gel from the clearance bin. It will stick to vertical surfaces and even hang on the bottom of horizontal surfaces. Solvent exposure time is important. With my straight knife machines...

Ok, so I didn't know there was such a thing as a box tool rest. This makes a lot of sense. I was working on straight-walled containers for kitchen use so about 3.5"-6" ID. I re-profiled a round nose...

Thanks, I guess some more info might be helpful. In 20+/- years of occasional spindle turning for furniture and stair parts I never had a notion of making bowls or boxes until I was given a bowl...

What hollowing tool do you prefer for excavating to about 6"?

I like the dark-light-dark lamination in the far curve on that board. The turnings are very nice too. I did some inside-out ornaments last year and sometimes had tear-out at the joints between maple...

I think basically all NSF-approved cutting boards are made of plastic. Not epoxy of course, but HDPE. I don't know that epoxy without an abrasive filler is any more abrasive than wood with a high...

Has anyone used stall mats under woodworking machines with good results? I tried using the interlocking mats under a lathe and the mats seemed to allow the lathe to rock slightly. Not sure if the...

The stock lever arm would have to be replaced with a stronger alloy but it could work. I already stripped the threads on the original by over-torquing it.

The plate is square. I roughed it up with an angle grinder and tightened the nuts (U-bolt, nuts washers, cam etc. all in good condition) and it still doesn't get a good purchase on the ways. Maybe...

Respectfully disagree. Ash is commonly used in boat building in North America. Not as rot-resistant as teak or white oak by a long shot but still usable.

The 60HH or the 882HH? Did you receive it in the factory crate? Lift it by the table ends? It shouldn't be necessary to remove the fence to adjust table height.

One of the known problems with the 46-765X and other Delta lathes of the same basic design is that the tailstock doesn't clamp securely to the ways. Probably not many people still using these lathes...
