    On my Delta 14", I was constantly struggling with drift. On the LT-18 with a 1 1/4" Resaw king, it's not an issue, although the fence does have a drift adjustment.

    Thanks folks. I'll try the tall featherboard first and see where it takes me, but I've got my eyes on the genius small power feeder, too.

    European lumber grading

    I am confused by the European lumber grading system. It looks like something like: 'Species - type of cut - quality' in either 4 or 7 grades. Is there a standard similar to our 'FAS' or 'seconds and...

    Pitch on tool blades

    I'm getting ready to dimension a load of (12% RH) Pitch Pine. Should I be worried about pitch gumming up my (helical) jointer and planer blades, and if so, what can I do about it?
    Thanks in advance.
