My saw is a powermatic and the maker of my dado blade says no problem to omit outside washer. I agree that threads should be thru the nut however.

+2 on Bandsaw. It has become my go to tool for sure.
I absolutely love mine!! What a terrific machine. Settings were dead on out of the box. I just finished a baseboard project at the house and it once again made beautiful cuts. Saw makes it very...
I have the Bosch 4410 as well and I never bother with the laser. I too find it too imprecise.

I built my Holtzapfel (Chris Schwarz) design out of DFir that I purchased from the borg. I think the whole bench (not including twin screws front wood vise and Veritas Surface Vise) cost less than...
Thanks Thomas for making +2. I live in Saugus, Ca. I will make an effort to ask around work for welder types.
Thanks Chis I definitely had not thought of that. Something to ponder for sure

Hi
I am not accustomed to working with metal and have a couple of questions. I have 3 metal brackets that used to support an outdoor bar of some type attached to my house under a sliding window. ...
If it helps, I built Chris'(Schwarz) plans for the Holtzapfel. What an amazing bench!! My top ended up at 2 7/8 thick and seems plenty capable (good clamping thickness) and stable for anything I...
+1 on 3/4" holes. I use round dogs and my holdfast is a 3/4 as well (LV). I love the flexibility of round for what I do.
Mine just was canceled as well. Oh well back to the stones
Hey Mark
It sounds like you have this kit. I am looking for a drill driver/Impact that can do some of the heavier jobs around the house..ie drilling thru masonary/concrete. Have you used this Makita...
For me, I finally joined the modern day woodworking world and added an Air compressor this year. I absolutely don't know how I got along without it. Man does it make things easier.

I guess I am the odd man out. I really enjoy listening to baseball when I am in the shop. There is nothing like listening to great pbp announcers. When there is no baseball to be found I almost...
Hi Harry
I had a similar problem. Mine was simply an outfeed roller stand issue. Took a awhile to figure it out though. Turned out my young son had knocked it over and it no longer turned at the...
I feel the same way Chris. My wife helps me out in the shop in so many ways. We have been married 15 years. I am not fond of the "finish" side of our craft and my wife is very good at it. She has...
I have the Bosch 1591 EVS (Barrel Grip) and absolutely love it. I did a lot of research before taking the plunge and couldn't be happier. As previously mentioned they also make a D handle version...
Yes, I can't understand why they don't allow an "ala cart" pricing format. I would think it would be hugely popular. I just recently (today as a matter of fact) had to downgrade my cable to the...
Love that one

1. If you are not the lead dog the scenery never changes

2. If it weren't for bad luck I would have no luck at all

Jim
Wow! thanks all so much for the extremely fast and helpful responses. I now know that pancake system will work perfectly for me. I will start looking for the combo kits as they sound like a great way...
Hi All
I have been looking around for a few months in this forum and find it to be full of amazing information. I have been woodworking for only a few short years but absolutely love it! Well, I...
