    I've used System 3 for more than a decade and have never noticed much of a difference when varying the resin to hardener ratio. Perhaps it might cure faster with more hardener, I don't know, I've...

    I still doubt they are truly sharp inside and out. Sharpening a hollow chisel mortising bit is more than a couple swipes on the outside with a diamond stone.

    I do two sharpening sessions on the...

    Did the owner add a bathroom?

    Later, if they decide to do add a shower, update a service panel, or do something else that requires a permit, and the inspector notices an additional un-permitted...

    I have never had any problem with a similar (Delta) mortiser. I suspect your bits are not sharp. Often, they are simply not honed fine enough out of the box.

    For the outer bit, the chisel, the...

    Well, if it doesn't work, then it has to be sold "for parts." I doubt I would pay much over $50. It's 3 phase which is incompatible with my shop, so I would probably pass on this.

    How does the Fastcap stick work? It seems similar to any push stick.

    I don't think this was the saw's fault. It does sound like perhaps you were in a hurry and very comfortable with the cut and...

    We concluded that the Advantage Program has a big advantage, but if one doesn't like it, it nearly impossible to switch back as pointed out above. So we declined the Advantage Program.

    Yes, I need the tools to be stored under a work surface at about 35" so a 44" cabinet, while nice would waste space.

    I clamp them to insure a 100% square joint. I use blocks of wood on the outside face of the box/drawer, just a little inside the box joints and use light clamping pressure to squeeze the two sides...

    +1 on Edward's method. I make a thick block of wood out of scrap, use a long drill bit to create a hole, and sometimes add a fence to the underside. It's a one-off jig.

    For more permanent...

    From September to about November, I got bombarded by guys with Indian sounding accents with names like "Mike" from US Healthcare, and I don't believe there is such a company. I figured out this was...

    With overlay, you'll have about a half inch overlap, so between two drawers, you'll need at least 1" face frame or the drawer faces will not close. 1 1/2" is typical. That width also gives you...

    I find using a sharp layout knife and a knife wall prevents wandering mortise lines/walls. I use a ball point pen to accentuate the knife wall, just so I can see what I am doing, but its the knife...

    Everything ends up between the cushions in the couch in front of the TV. Look there. The bonus is that you're likely to find some tasty Cheetos, too.

    The kickback arm/prongs are used only for ripping. Are you really going to rip stuff with a radial arm saw? You should check Craigslist regularly. Incredible deals on RASs there.
