Thanks for the comments and ideas everyone. I have some new options to explore for sure.

My wife and i are adding a walk in closet off our master bedroom. I'm planning to build cabinets 24" deep, and around 84" tall, that can be configured for 1 rod for long hanging items like dresses, 2...

Thanks for all the replies. Im putting this on my todo list. My porter cable router is likely going to be decommissioned after this next cabinet door build, then I will work on adapting a CNC spindle.

I’d like to add a router lift to my shop. I think I’ve decided on a Jessem lift, but the router motors is not such an easy decision. Jessem and Woodpeckers motor look really nice, but are also really...

Great point Jim, my long range plan is to upgrade to a wider planer with an indexing insert head. Hopefully I won’t use up the life on these sets before that happens. In hindsight I...

Thanks for the reply’s. I have decided to send them to Forrest for sharpening. They have done nice work on my round blades, and I am hoping that carries over the the planer knives.

Brian, thanks...

I have a set of the Infinity straight carbide tipped blade for my Dewalt DW735 13” planer. They need to be sent out for sharpening to bring them back to new. That are not chipped, only dull from...

It appears all the shop built units use various types of box fans, and all the purchased units seem to use squirrel cage fans. Any particular reason for that? Can a purchased unit perform at a higher...

Alan, can you recommend an affordable Dylos particle meter? My shop won't be functional with the air cleaners till after the first of the year, but it would be good to measure the performance of the...

I ordered 3 of the Wen 3410's for $105 each (black Friday special) and free shipping. I'm planning to put them in a U pattern to circulate the air through the whole work space.

I'm doing the electrical layout for my shop build out, and I'm considering adding electrical outlets in the ceiling for air filtration units. I've seen the Jet and Rinkon units on sale on Black...

I’ve read mixed reviews on the bin status indicator. I’d like to add something to my bin lid to allow a quick check on the level. I’ve considered going to the 55 gallon size bin, I currently have 35...

I’m building out a heated workshop inside my pole barn. I currently have my wood shop set up in the corner of this pole building, and move a single dust collection hose around to my machines as I use...

Fantastic idea Barry. I'll give this a try. Thanks to everyone that responded. Sounds like the tracking is a pain in the neck overall. I'll just fight through it.

Ken, where did you purchase your OEM 3M belt from? I struggled to find a replacement, and went with the Maverick abrasives because it looked like about the only option. I can't imagine what the...

The feed belt on my Performax 16-32 broke last week. It split at the seam with no warning. I ordered a replacement belt from Maverick abrasives.

John TenEyck, I agree 100%.

Thank you for clearing this up for me. I will take the suggestions of using glue, and skipping the spaceballs.

One more question. If I keep my fit from panel to rail and stile tight, apply the...

I'm about to jump into my first cabinet build for a small kitchen. I feel like I have a pretty good handle on the process I plan to use, and my kitchen design is nearly complete. The cabinets will be...

Do not follow my advice on using only one leg of the 220vac with the ground. I spoke to my electrician this morning, and he set me straight. As mentioned by several others here, the ground should...

Thanks for the input on PVC, I think I'll stick with wood on this job.

Dan, I understand what you are saying, but there all kinds of devices that use polarized 2 prong plugs sold today. For example, our iron, our cable box, and our box fan, all purchased within the last...

Andrew, I also recently purchased the 18BX, but skipped the $200 light. I was hoping to get something really bright for a lot less than $200. I need to ask my electrician at work to verify, but I...

I planning a cabinet build for a house my kids will live in while attending college.I’m using prefinished plywood for the boxes, in a frameless style construction. The doors will be painted shaker...
