Hello Bob
I noticed your in my neck of the woods. I live in the East Bat, work in San Ramon. I have been looking for a good reputable dealer and was wondering if you could share who you get your...

Thanks Mark, I am glad i asked about the Shaper. I was thinking I could go without a router table, but now im not sure. I will say I am starting fresh, no router bits, so i guess i could invest in...

Thank you Mark!
This was very helpful.
One more quick question. or maybe 2. :)
Did you consider the LAB300P while you were looking at the CU300? Just curious as I think this might work for me...

Hey Mark
Great video. I have been looking for a video like that for years as I have been searching for an understanding of how the setup process for a slider works.

Anyway i have a question...

Im think new. I never have luck with used.

Thanks Mike. I still on the fence with this but see the benefits of a shaper for my needs. Do your have a recommendation as far a brand/model? Powermatic, Laguna?

Thanks for all the feedback. Very helpful. Some of the feedback got me thinking perhaps getting a shaper is a better solution for me. Considering what i am looking at spending for a high quality...

I know that question is subjective and there will be a variety of opinions. What I really need to answer is the choice between (2) router able set ups i am looking to purchase.

First is the...

Hello all
I am new to shaper use. Actually very new. I have a machine on order, so very little experience. I do a lot of pattern routing and I'm curious what is the best tooling for doing this on a...

Actually scratch my last post. I took a closer look and the Minimax is closer to $2,200 more. I am leaning toward the Minimax but that just is a lot of dough! Especially if the machines are...

Thanks for the feedback. Some great information. I like those Lamb parallel cutting guides. I have wondered how you get consistent accurate and reportable rips with a slider. Seems like a great...

I have decided to pull the trigger on a combo machine and narrowed my choice between the Minimax CU300 or the Hammer C3-31. I wanted to see if anyone has recently been through the same decision...

Thanks to you all for the feedback. It is very helpful. I dug into the details a bit and now can't see why I would even consider the Felder. It is a little over 4K more and does NOT include a...

Hello
i have decided to purchase a combo machine and have narrowed my choices to a Minimax CU300 or a Felder CF531. From what I can tell these machines are generally in the same quality and...

Does anyone know of a good lumber yard or sawmill near Sacramento CA. where I can get 5/4 (6" wide) western red cedar. Clear and tight knot. I need a lot of it (2000 +/- lf or more) for making...

Hello all
I was wondering if anyone could give me a recommendation on a high quality CNC set up for a small shop. It will be mostly for serious hobby work, with some potential commercial work. I...

Man thats nice, I am very close to pulling the trigger on a jointer and you are making me rethink. Is this BW not the same as the Grizzly?? any difference. I was planning on getting the 10" Oliver,...

So Rob, Do you think it is likely that the Byrd cutter head will eventually be made to fit the G0490.? Especially since it seems to be so popular. Also, how do you like the jointer.

Thanks in...

Im a little confused about what jointers will accept a Byrd cutter. I heard the new 8" jointer will not. is this true? Also, does anyone have experience with the Grizzly model spiral heads. I have...

Does anyone know of a good aftermarket riving knike/splitter for a PM66
