Several thousand for me without noticable drop in quality

Sorry, PVA

Wondering if people are generally gluing both surfaces when using paper-backed veneer in a Vacuum press. I always have done this but I'm about to do A LOT of it and would like an excuse not to do...

Have you checked the diaphragm inside that disk thing? We have a powermatic that has the same set up and had a similar problem and that was the answer. It was torn and a very easy fix once we figured...

Agreed on 6" Starrett rule with end graduations. Very handy for everything and end grads are nice for table saw, shaper and router set ups. Also use a Starrett combo squares (12" and 4") and...

Just do it A LOT. Get yourself so you are confident cutting joints and not "sneaking up" on your fit. Get fast at layout and marking, sharpening etc. Those are areas where you can always improve...

Burn in shellac stick after taping off. Carefully razor blade it smooth

Thanks Erik, I think you're right. In theory, I like to have a little more beef for the nosing but think that the stiffness is causing part of my issue. I have some .5 and 1mm stuff that I'm going to...

That looks great. I'm about to do another bunch of shelves in the next week or so and I'll give an update. I've seen where people use that clear pvc banding just so they are able to run through the...

Here are a couple of pics of two reject shelves. This is a fair bit worse than they normally are but does highlight the situation. I've barely done any edgebanding work in my life so...

I will try to get a pic to you today. I can adjust the feed away from the roller and, obviously, glue volume. What are you using as your benchmark for when your glue amount is just right? I'd be...

Wondering if anyone has experience with the Maksiwa. I'm not doing a lot of edgebanding, a pile of shelves (30-50) every month or so, but I've been having trouble getting a clean glue line between...

Hey David, I would probably just go with the wooden slides that are specifically made for tables (like the Rockler ones you linked to). The mitigating factor might be how many leaves and/or how many...

Erik, the stop switches on the saw have crapped out MANY times and we've been back and forth using the master power as an off switch which is annoying and unsafe probably. Currently we have the off...

Perfect. Stick with the 6" and disregard the previous handful of posts!

Point taken. I was still looking from the OP perspective of low-end 5" sander. I think all of this math is totally dependent on usage, current compressor set-up, dust mitigation needs, ergonomics...

Not looking to be the third man in on a fight but....you can get very good dust collection on an air sander between downdraft and vacuum. I think if someone is looking at breaking down costs, you...

Definitely don't need 5" if you are comfortable with the 6". Orbit size is more of a reason to branch out than pad diameter. It is nice to use a smaller, lighter sander if you're doing a lot of edges...

Erik, again, I totally agree with this for the saw and, for our situation, our production significantly ramped up after the purchase and so it goes. Just trying to share our experience with two...

Sorry John TenEyck, totally agree with you on a machine jointer. I was sloppy in my description. I'd do them one at a time on a machine but clamp together and do both at once with a handplane...

Mark Kessler, fully agree with you on the hours logged. We've been very busy so just a data point and context. Love the functionality of the saw beyond the specific complaints

#7 or #8 Jointer plane would be my first choice and using the jointer my second. Just run them both at the same time with either option and you should be good. Good luck

I don't tape shims I just put a shim under the infeed part of the twisted board so that the gap on the front and back of the board are close to even. Then I joint the board, dragging the shim with it...

I've used sliding dovetails for this type of application and they work but are fussy. Not sure how big of a top you are planning but the difference in a perfectly fit dovetail and one that's too...

Michael, forgot to mention no dado capacity on our Hammer
