I used the Shark Guard on my Grizzly and I use the Sawstop now. They both attach to the riving knife, so what Jim says above definitely applies. Both do pretty well on cuts where the material extends...

@Curt: It occurred to me to make a base, but I was feeling stingier with my time than with my money that day. Sometimes it goes the other way ...

@Thomas: I think the Leigh makes sense if you use...

I'm writing this in case somebody like me tries to use these two tools together. I've had my Bosch router almost since I started woodworking, and it's had its ups and downs. The newer switch is much...

Thanks, all. They are polycarbonate. I’ll try some things and report. In the meantime, I’ll be ordering another pair ... my prescription has changed. So these ones will be my second best pair either...

This thread reminds me of a Craigslist interaction I had several years ago. I bought a lot of tools from the brother of a deceased woodworker. We arranged to meet at his brother's basement shop. He...

Thoughts on removing Polycrylic overspray from my expensive prescription safety glasses?

The good news is the bookcases came out very nicely, no doubt to my sticking my face in them while...

Hi Dave! I don't know anything about that kind of wood, but if it were me, I'd see about using something mechanical rather than glue to allow for differences in wood movement. I'd also consider wider...

I built one from these plans a few years ago for my daughter, and she has used it enthusiastically. It's a bit different from the one you are looking at, but quite functional in its own way. Plans...

Thanks! I think the challenge for me will be either getting a tight enough seal that the bag stays put or finding a way to keep the bag in. I'm planning to go with MDF and weatherstripping. Hopefully...

Looks like they moved the first two days of prizes to the end ... the two days after Father's Day.

I'm glad I got the 700 because I've used it for some big projects, e.g. chunky benches for the waiting room of a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym (lots of doug fir 4x4s). I have the Seneca adapter and plate...

John,

A fair amount of my waste is fairly fluffy jointer / planer shavings, and the helical heads make them lighter and fluffier than those from the straight knives in my experience. Most of my...

I have that same cyclone, I do believe, and it's plenty sturdy enough for the Grizzly 1029 2hp I'm using. For whatever that's worth ...

Well, the next step is going to be how to keep a big drum liner in there ... so I can just take the bag out, toss it in the truck and drive down to the neighbor's house, since he uses the sawdust for...

So I'm working on maybe the 5th incarnation of my home-rolled cyclone dust collection setup, and I'll be using a 55 gallon plastic drum to catch the chips. I had to cut the lid out of it, but the rim...

Irion is definitely recommended. Lewis Lumber in Picture Rocks might also be able to help you. Farther south is Bailey Wood Products, which might be your best bet for the species you're looking for,...

3/4" Pipe clamps are economical, beefy and versatile. I like the Besseys; the HF knockoffs are a step down in finish but are generally acceptable in my experience. I bought the black pipe in 10'...

For me, Robertson [square drive] screws whenever possible. I read an article years ago on the history of Robertson screws and how the Phillips head came to rule in the US ... easily googled by anyone...

For me, the Osborne is what I use for straight cuts and most 45s. I use the Incra for wider panels since I can back it off farther from the blade. The Incra was a splurge but worth it. The Osborne...

I have the Grizzly with the 12" disc sander. It sees a lot of use in our shop because my wife does a lot of intarsia. The inserts are plastic, so they'll never be high precision, but the table tilts....

Well, it's on casters ... wish I'd thought of that :)

All day long I've been thinking about posting about my disappointment with the online retail / shipping policies of two different tool manufacturer / retailers I'm currently dealing with, but ......

I just posted and deleted this under a different branch of this thread. Meant to +1 the Osborne. Here's what I said:

When I was starting woodworking 15 years or so ago I bought the Osborne EB3....

That answers my question actually!

Without going to too much trouble, can someone tell me the actual radius of these Lee Valley bits? I have some slot cutting bits that I think are too big for small boxes, regardless of the cutting...
