I've had a new dining room table on the back burner for several years now. I just haven't found a design that I think will work in my house. The table will be 42" x 84" (or less) but I want it to...

Was that store making a profit? We don't know. Rockler has lots of gadgets that can be useful but they are usually priced higher than what internet only stores can sell them for. If one was close...

Onefinity just announced a 44w laser today. Probably not going to ship in any real numbers until after Christmas but it's powerful enough to do things like engrave stone. I could be tempted.

Amazon has a cybermonday sale on the Cabinetmasters. 2 packs for a pretty good price. I usually buy Bessy clamps from Rockler simply because they have a 4 pack. The 4 pack has two 24" and two 50"...

I would go with bimetal Lenox blades over carbon. The bimetal last a very long time and cost less than twice what a carbon blade will set you back. I have both a woodmaster (which I don't think...

My sister lived in Nashua NH for a number of years. The southern part of the city is dominated by big box stores that are packed with people from Mass. This time of the year, black Friday, it's a...

If my Bosch dies I'll be switching over to a spindle with a vfd in a heartbeat. Just the reduction in noise would be worth it. Even water cooling wouldn't be too much of an issue. If you're...

I went with a hearthstone because they are made less than 15 miles from my house. Like you being able to see the company does make it nice. I ended up with a factory second. My plan was to pick...

VC was bought out by a larger company. About 20 years ago they focused on building BBQs and gas stoves. As wood stove technology changed (for the better) the new company didn't keep up. I don't...

I'm a part of Amazon's Vine review program and get at least a dozen items a week from them. Never have I gotten an empty box. I have had items that came out of the box, usually the teape ripped. ...

If you use PT make sure it's the better ground contact rated version. I would also try to find some that's had time to dry. There's a lot of weight difference between wet stuff and dry.

Does the Supermax have the ability to reverse direction of the conveyor belt? It's a nice option on the Woodmaster. I would think 5hp is not a lot of power for two drums. I've never used anything...

My guess is they don't want to deal with people deciding their trim routers are identical to their 3hp routers. I could see a lot of people burning them up and returning them under warranty. I'm...

The company I use to work for had one tat you could easily place a large microwave inside it (to give you an idea on it's size. It had a foot operated valve to start and stop the grit. It had a...

The local Tractor Supply had a Agri-Fab leaf sucker. It must have been at the store for 3 years or more. I got a 15% off coupon and decided to get it. The SKU number on it didn't even work...

UL certification is optional. They also test based on what the company specifies. For example if the company says it's router is designed for 15 minutes of continuous use with 45 minutes of rest...

The national electrical code doesn't apply to cords on devices. An engineer that designed it is free to choose what size wire to use and how thick the insulation on the wire should be. It's why...

It was that long ago when the one in Salem moved down the street. I suspect that most people between the two now go to the tax free NH store. Also anyone who wants to avoid going too close to...

I started off with a stick to learn on. I had about a week of being taught while in middle school shop class but it wasn't until I got a basic Sears AC welder. I wasn't that good but could repair...

Do you turn the can upside down and spray to clean out the nozzle? It does help.

BTW I got a can of Rustoleum with a different kind of nozzle. It has 5 different patterns on a rotating nozzle....

I own both Grizzly and PM tools. While I like most of my Grizzly tools I can only think of one that didn't require me to call customer service or have an issue I just dealt with, my oscillating...

If it was me I would add a second outlet to the dryer circuit. You can easily not use the saw when the other is doing laundry. Until I added extra circuits I had an extension cord and I would...

I have several Grizzy/ Shop Fox tools and I swear they use the cheapest belts they can find. The rubber is almost as bad as the belts that come on the Harbor Freight tools. I almost always change...

I don't have a track saw yet but it's on the Christmas list. For decades I have been using an 8' Lufkin wooden straight edge clamped to the sheet with quick grips. Then I just run my circular saw...

I have a Prazi beam saw for my circular saw. It serves a purpose. It's probably the best tool for cutting openings in stress skin panels.
