The Dewalt 611 has such a smooth plunge action compared to everything else. It is my first choice when using a small router bit. I wish that any of my bigger PC routers were nearly this smooth.
I had one of the early FEIN Oscillating Multitools when they first came out. They are great for making cuts that other tools cannot without having to destroy everything around it. I have used it for...
James, that 34" drill press sounds like it is a radial drill press, and my personal opinion is avoid it. Based on my starting out with a Craftsman radial drill press, having the ability to drill that...
That glue gun looks really similar to the FastenMaster 220W glue gun, but with different color paint. I use the FM in my shop and am thrilled with it. I feel like finally I have a hot melt gun that...
I have seen entry level saws (B&D $45 on sale at Hugh M Woods) with very little use that had in excess of 1/16" of side to side slop in the blade. So no, what I had stated is not so ridiculous. I am...
I love my 209HH planer. That thing is a beast, and as reliable as the day is long. I also have the model 1791100 6 x 89" belt edge sander, and have figured out that the platen is bowed. I have been...
I forgot about the depth stop. I became frustrated with PM's design for that real quick as it was so damn slow moving the 2 fine threaded nuts up and down the rod as needed. I think that I replaced...

I was once told by a boiler guy and union pipefitter that one of the questions on the pipefitters' licensing exam was "Teflon thread tape is an acceptable thread sealent. True or False." The correct...
So I happen to own the Powermatic PM2800 Drill Press. And I will be the first to say that this tool does not live up to Powermatic's usually stellar reputation. But since I can't afford another one...
I am glad that the OP was not hurt to bad. I have a friend who ran his hand through a dado set, it was UGLY!
First off, you should never try to back a piece out of the spinning blades for a...
I like the Rugged Buddys, have 2 sets that get used a lot both at jobsites and around the shop. I attach the legs to a piece of microlam to keep them flat and straight, then attach a 2x6 flat for a...
I really like the Rugged Buddys by Target Precision. They are a bit pricey but they are solid and nearly bomb proof. We have set them up with planks for an elevated solid work platform without any...
