    One such VFD is the TECO L510-101-SH1. This is the new and improved (L510s) version of the L510 VFDs that I use and have been happy with. The 1xx versions have a voltage doubler so they can run on...

    You can do either. I have the 20" version of that press and it dismantles into five modest-sized and easily hand-carryable pieces with only a couple of wrenches needed. The motor detaches from the...

    I use a big old ex-lumberyard DeWalt radial arm saw more than any other saw in my shop. I've run a number of different blades in it including a 12" stack dado and the saw has never tried to climb at...

    Cutting tongue and groove is an easy job for a smaller shaper like the 3/4" spindle Grizzly G1026 you mention. You can cut the tongues easily in one pass with a couple of straight cutters and a...

    I prefer either of the carbide options but I would probably give a small edge to the straight carbide knives. Carbide is definitely preferable to HSS as it lasts so much longer it's not even funny....

    I regularly do that, except I try to drill all of the pilots I can with my drill press and use the portable drills only for things I can't use the press on. If I need to use two handheld drills, the...

    Having more than one tool to do a specific operation so you don't have to break a setup. I don't have duplicate tools, but having a radial arm saw and shaper in addition to a cabinet saw largely...

    I recently got a G0564 and it is about 1/32" out of square at the idler end of the table using an 8" square, while it is dead on at the motor end. The table adjustment mechanism is not going to be...

    The Comet radial arm saw is a sliding-ram design that as far as I can tell was actually invented by DeWalt and introduced in its "Victory" model saws in the 1940s. They abandoned the concept shortly...

    1) A 1/8" width fine pitched blade will work well for this, 20-24 TPI.

    2) A 1/4" width blade with the TPI dependent on the thickness of the stock you use. You want between 3 and 20 teeth in the...

    The saws with cast iron bases such as a Whitney, Tannewitz, Oliver, etc. were simply called table saws. They did not have an enclosed cabinet and thus are not cabinet saws. An early Delta Unisaw with...

    I have a Grizzly G0513X2 which is the same unit as the -X2F but without the brake. A 1" blade can be run on the saw, but it's a real bear to get that wide of a blade onto and off of the saw as there...

    I have those too, and the one that gets used the least is the miter saw. It's a cast iron and relatively decent non-Chinese unit. I only ever use it outdoors for cutting rough construction lumber,...
