This is just a guess, but might the markings allow you to check if the wood you are clamping together will fit within the maximum width capacity of the vise? In the unlikely chance that no one else...

I'm not a pro, nor do I play one on television, but when I make kitchen cabinets I use a trick that I learned from a pro. I screw two small hooks into the top edge of each door that goes on the upper...

My "spray booth" consists of the following: an EZ-UP portable canopy set up on a cloth painter's tarp in the driveway. The outdoor environment provides plenty of ventilation and the cloth tarp...

FWIW, I spray Fuhr 9550 (now 9560) waterbased primer, Fuhr 380 waterbased paint, Target waterbased lacquer and EF milk paint through my gun with a 1.7 tip and I get consistent, excellent results....

Allen,
Thank you for the heads up regarding the deal on the 17-965 on Amazon. I was aware of the $50 off promo, but the addition of the free sawzall pushed me over the edge.

Cam,
You may not...

Stability and strength relative to other types of plywood is the short answer. Many cheaper sheets of plywood are constructed with seven or fewer plys; baltic birch typically has 11 plys - sometimes...

Thank you, Jim, for the help.

Since my original post I've discovered the following note on Jeff Jewitt's web site regarding Target PSL: "Ultima Spray Lacquer will develop a slight straw color...

...and anyone else in the know. I'm in the process of deciding between two finishes, Fuhr 9100 Acrylic Topcoat and Target PSL, for a set of white, Shaker style kitchen cabinets and low and behold I...

Beautiful pieces, but I must say the detail that really caught my eye is the reflection of the second piece framed in the glass doors of the first piece (picture #3). Are you a photo enthusiast as...

Thank you, Thomas, for the information. Now, do I wait or do I simply order the 586 now and upgrade the head later? I think I know the answer... :rolleyes:

Thomas,
Thanks for the quick review. I think this may be the next shop upgrade for me.

Does anyone know if Grizzly will release this machine with a Byrd cutterhead (or the like)? I know their...

Hi Jack,
Here's a link to a Kreg Drawer Slide Mounting Bracket, aka a slide gun:

I have one and it works as advertised.

I'm in the middle of a set of kitchen cabinets and the few pros I know say I'm overbuilding with 3/4 BB ply for the carcases, but I love the quality of the BB ply relative to melamine, particle...

John,
Thanks for the comparison, and the heads up on Austin Hardwoods.

Steve

Thanks Lee, for the quick review.

As a tag along question, would someone in the know be willing to offer a comparison between Bonhoff Lumber and Reel Lumber as far as selection and price?

Given your last comments I'll limit my response to 'electrically powered dovetails'.

For ease of use, and with some obvious limitations (it only makes through dovetails), I find the Keller jig...

FYI, in April Bosch released a router base (RA-1165) for the 1617 that is designed to be mounted in a router table. For $53 it gives you a second base for the 1617 and it comes with a key that allows...

My limited experience says your understanding is correct: LA for end grain, regular for surface cuts. For years I have gotten by with a regular block as I have used it primarily for fitting inset...

It's not yet in my possession, but it's on the way. Currently. I'm designing a shed for it and trying to figure out how much clearance I need.

In my previous life I was a trim carpenter and I still do a job or three each year, and I would never allow a gap like that. Even when I've done work as a framer I would be embarassed by such a gap. ...

Bosch is coming out with a new router base for the 1617 that is designed for mounting to a router table. It allows you to raise/lower the router from above the table without removing the router. It...

Thank you, Pam, for the additional insight. Your logic is compelling, as is that of Mark, Richard, and Jim. Of course, I'm almost back where I started. :D I suppose I'll be in decent enough shape to...

Thank you all for the advice. I not surprised by the uniformity of the replies since I had already discovered the high degree of satisfication many of you have had and are having with the LA Jack.

I've been a plane user for nearly fifteen years, but since it has been the same plane for the entire time - the standard block plane - I need help now that I'm trying to expand my tool and skill set....

Nice looking side table. How much chamfer will the top have?

If you don't mind my asking, have you looked into building your own loudspeakers for the new home theater? There's a lot of value to...
