Interesting... I have the exact saw with DC hooked up to the single factory 4" port. There's close to 100% capture - almost nothing left in the case, on the wheels, or on the table. Obviously the...

I have that sander -- got it on CL a couple years ago at $350. No problem keeping it parallel - just follow the manual's instructions completely. My concern is underpower. This machine needs at least...

same machine. Insufficient power problems, but absolutely no tracking problems.
Owner's Manual needs to be read very carefully, I've found. Several adjustments aren't intuitive

Composite 'wood' is not to be used for structural applications. Most all parts in these chairs bear some load, some substantial.
Around our church I've replaced oak slats on outdoor benches with...

Last summer I scored this sander from CL for $300. Appeared to have very little use and all it needed was a new switch for $5. However, the cast iron bed was not parallel to the 4" drum. As I’ve not...

If your Makita has a two-speed switch, insure it's totally in one gear or the other, and not in 'neutral'. I tossed my great Ryobi until told of this by a friend. Luckily I got it back before the...

Craig,
Thanks so much for the photo showing that fuzzy stuff. That's my proof. I'm in central Florida and have been told by several folks that we have no black cherry. However, that's incorrect --...

+1 for Veritas tapered plug cutters

Regarding Freud blades, we got two sets from them for the very old Makita 1040 planer we have in our church shop. Simply could not find these blades anywhere. Had only one set, and the last...

My six year old 1023 Grizzly had been getting progressively more noisy - hard to describe - most like rattles with a harmonic component. Last night I finally investigated. First, the three belts...

Not woodworking, but the Category 1 Quick-Hitch for tractor-pulled implements has been exactly what I needed. 20% of what John Deere wanted and is the same thing

Had the exact same problem with mine. Turned out to be a deformed aluminum motor sheave. Replaced with a cast iron one and it's back being as smooth as when new, which wasn't perfect..

Just bought two sets for our very old Makita 2040. This outfit had good price, quick shipment, couldn't have been better -- http://www.apar-router-bits-saw-blades.com/c620-.html

+1 for Phil's response.
Just measure the blades each time before sharpening to insure you don't sharpen a blade that then will be too narrow. We did that on our Mikata 2040; $22 for sharpening but...

Thanks for the tip on getting less-expensive abrasives. Just purchased a Grizzly 18/36 on CL and quickly learned that rolls from Grizzly are pricey.

Our church shop has had the same model you're considering for three years now. Run a lot of wood with zero problems. It's dead-on accurate
I can't see how 3hp would make this unit perform better...

+1 for Paul. I built my Norm Table 5 yrs ago and have used it a lot. It's an excellent design. However, with extensive use, the MDF slots where the tee-bolts ride have gotten buggered up. Paul's...

Two reasons I've noticed from my experience -- an collector outside the shop is much quieter in the work area than an inside one, hence gets turned on more often. Also an outside collector can use...

Thanks, Phil. She politely declines your kind offer...
What she said took the most time was reinforcing the seams on the the 1996 original bags. Apparently the twill material unravels badly. I...

I've been trying to maximize dust collection using my 650cfm Jet in a 20' x 30' shop. The suction side is all 4" PVC with wyes, two 45°'s for ells, and minimal flex hose. I then noticed that the...

It's not used as a seal, but rather as the outboard shaft bearing in the skeg. It's machined so that end grain is in contact with the shaft, meaning that several segments have to be machined to then...

Excellent design and execution, Cary. Simple, inexpensive, and 100% functional.

Come visit my firewood pile in Tampa, FL. I'm collecting a pile for the splitter and have several pieces a litle larger than what you're looking for. Just cut it last week

Great wood at a truly great price! Significantly better than I can get here in central Florida, even on CL. Let's see some photos of your completed projects, too.
