    I have the air version of the 3x4 surfprep and it is really handy for certain things. I have a compressor that can handle an air sander, but did the math on the electricity use, and it would pay for...

    The issue that concerns me with TB 3 is not initial strength. I have failure tested TB 1 TB 2 and TB3 with edge grain to edge grain joints, and none of them come apart on the glue line. I have also...

    This is what I do for panels also, except I have to edge joint as I do not have a SLR yet. I have a 16 inch Porter 300 and wish it was wider.

    I have been down the same road you are on. Cyclone-style DC with air locks seem to be the industry standard in the commercial world, and the bigger ones (20hp or more) are pretty cheap on the used...

    I can't wait to see how this works out for you. I have been waiting to buy one of these new dc electric sanders for a while now. I wonder why the more common consumer type brands (bosch, dewalt, etc)...

    I have spent some time using a Powermatic 180 with a three knife head at my old boss's shop. I helped him switch it over to a Byrd head a few years ago. He is happy with it, and wishes he would have...

    Is this a one time project, or do you have other wants/needs for a shaper? If it is a one time deal, I would just run them on your router table. (or if you value your time, order the doors. This is...
