All,
I'm still thinking about a slider. After readings threads on all the forums, the same names keep coming back - Felder, SCM, used Altendorf, etc.
I would be leaning toward a new Felder...

Hi John,
Congrats on your first post. You'll get some great advise on this forum. Here's a interesting video that covers some things to consider as you look at router tables: ...
Hi Mark,
I always use Blum euro hinges for inset doors. I've had good luck with them being solid and haven't noticed the play you noted. Once I get them adjusted, they seem to stay dialed in and...
Hi John,
Take a look at Hafele and Rev-A-Shelf. They're both pretty good and widely available. I used a lot of Hafele when I was doing production cabinets and never had a callback.
Cheers,

Hi Clark,
I'm a little late to the tread, but wanted offer my two cents worth. I went from my old PC RO sander to a Festool ETS EC 125 and a Festool dust extractor. Although pricey, it was more...
Hi John,
I would look at the three variables in this issue - 1) Bit may be moving in the collet as John T suggests, 2) Depth adjustment of the router is moving, 3) Router mounting plate is moving...
Just a joke based on the "not the prettiest" factor.
To search for more than one word, enclose the string (all words) in quotes.
So type "Powermatic Model 60" in the search bar vs. Powermatic Model 60.
I'm not sure whether to be afraid of this jointer or land a plane on it.
Hi Bob,
I recommend using wood conditioner on the bare alder before applying stain. Without it, alder can look blotchy and take the stain unevenly.

I just made my first attempt using Alumilite casting resin to fill some small voids. I was very happy with the results.
However, it sounds like I need to look at West and Raka. I also like the...
Hi Todd,
Welcome back. One of my good friends is a retired racer - He raced Le Monde prototypes. Hopefully woodworking will cost you a bit less and you'll enjoy it again. I've been in the Creek...
My guess is these belts are 30 year old, stored in low humidity. Maybe it's time to part with a few bucks.
Who makes the best belts now-a-days?
I pulled out my old Porter Cable 3x21 to level a glue-up. I had three belts snap at the joint. I assume it's a glue joint when they're made. They are pretty old - Did these just fail due to age?
bom Dia meu amigo. Brilliant solution. One more for my shop todo list.
A hand screw clamp would be good for that
Agreed. I actually broke out the water stones and worked on chisels and plane irons. Heaven forbit I use my hand tools!
Hi Ed,
I leave some chucked for extended periods of time. Generally a dovetail bit that I struggled to get dialed in, etc.
Others I pull out immediately after use. I used to think leaving...
Jim stole my thunder as usual. The best advise is to buy tools based on what and how you build. Don't but anything because you think you will use it. Second, don't compromise on your purchases. ...

Congrats on the new saw - You'll love it.
I wish I had jumped in earlier - My advise would have been, "November Bravo Oscar Bravo, you're cleared to Kilo3 via radar vectors Hammer, then as...
The Retracta looks pretty nice. If you're looking at Reelcraft, you might want to look at Coxreels. I have one that's fantastic - I love the controlled recoil.
Mo,
I use the Festool LR 32-SYS. I've been extremely happy with it. Once you get used to the Festool system, the setup is pretty quick. The results are superb - much better then you can get...
John - Lots of good advise above. Joe makes a really good point about the track saw. I have a Unisaw and used to cut 4x8's and 5x5s on it. Now I use the track saw almost exclusively for this...
I'm with Robert and Michael - It sounds like the carcass may be out of square. If you measure the opening at the front and back and check for square with a square, you'll know. Once you have a...
