Hello,

Does anyone have both the medium and heavy duty Jorgensen F style bar clamps handy? Our local shops only stock the medium duty and while I'm considering ordering a bunch of the HDs, the...

That's how he was doing it as well - makes sense now based on all the comments, basically saving some jointing time by getting the straight line done first. Thanks all.

I feel pretty foolish, I didn't realize the sub-fence moves independent of the primary fence, that makes total sense now with the jointing adjustment knobs on the TA fence. Thank you again!

Mine arrived in a month and a halfl.

This might be in your plans already but I don't want to assume so I'll share in case it's not: Hearing and eye protection that the saw user will actually wear, 100% of the time, is one of the best...

Thank you, this makes sense, he must be saving some time on the joint by straight lining it with a sled one time, rather than making several passes on the jointer he can likely make one. Makes sense.

Thank you, this makes sense!

Thank you for the all of the knowledge, I very much appreciate it. It spurs another question, why does the left (outfeed side) rail for the fence have a scale, and why was it important to calibrate...

I've also got their miter slide kit which rides along the fence to ensure the crosscuts are perpendicular to the fence, so I'm not too concerned about that, I guess what I'm trying to ask and it...

Hi all,

Recently saw a well respected carpenter on instagram milling some white oak into stair treads and his process was:
Straight line rip one edge on tablesaw using a sled with clamps
Joint...

Hi all,

Recently installed Jessem's new micro adjuster with the TA fence included in the ultimate excel package - as this is my first router table I have a question about it's generalized...

Hi all,

Recently put together the ultimate excel package by Jessem which includes the Mast R Lift Excel II and I was left with one piece remaining that I cannot identify where it goes - I'll try...

Hello

Recently picked up some Columbia MPX VC RC Birch A-1 and my understanding of A-1 is that the A face should be very good and the 1 (back side) should be about equivalent to a C face.

My...

The other thing to consider, and I might not do a great job explaining this, is that the fasteners only hold the cabinets tight to the wall, and the friction of the cabinet and wall prevents it from...

Hi all,

Redoing the lights in the shop and looking at the cree LS8-80L-40K-10V


They come in both 4000K and 5000K and I'm leaning toward 4000k - both come in at CRI 90

Hi all,

Took down a big white pine yesterday and saved a cookie from the stump (planning to have the rest milled too) - the cookie is ~26" across and ~4" thick.

What's the best way to dry this...

Wow Rod how much are you taking off on each pass? That looks set for a really deep cut?

Thanks. Nice to know I’m not imagining it. Maybe the engineers decided the right side needed to be slicker since the force is typically applied on the left side. Maybe it’s luck of the draw. Maybe...

Hi all

I spent the morning scrubbing my a3-31 tables with a random orbital and scotch brite pad + simple green, and then cleaned them with mineral spirits when done.

This was the first time...

Thank you. Do you think it’s important to buck it now vs in the spring?

Follow up question: if I drop this thing today (we have a foot of snow already and I will remain until May) and seal the end is it ok to leave it until spring to mill and kiln dry?

Thanks everyone

Thanks - the house will be built in the UP.

Do people ever use white pine for shiplap?

Hi all,

We have a monstrous white pine - 2.5-3' diameter and ~100' tall (guesstimate) that we will unfortunately be dropping as part of a house build in Michigan.

If we want to mill, kiln dry,...

Following-up as requested, the TSO track square has been phenomenal - a definite game-changer for fast, square cross-cuts. My wide boards are now square corner-to-corner within a millimeter.
