    Thanks Dwayne and Don, I am getting no takers at 1.7k. It’s such a good lathe. I think 1.5k would be a very good deal for someone. I thought it would go quickly. Very reluctant to let it go for less...

    The points have all been made by many folks but for me one of the biggest benefits is the excellent dust collection. I love my Festool track saw and I resisted buying a track saw for years. I became...

    Derek, in another thread I had just asked about whether the dust deputy you have would latch on to the Festool CT 15 which I am told it doesn’t. So your set up with the CT 26 is what I am strongly...

    The sawstop inline router table is very solid and I think very reasonably priced for what you get. It can be mounted left or right of the blade. I have it to the right replacing the melamine table...
