I run SU daily on my Thinkpad z60m. I also have it installed on my desktop at home, though I don't use the desktop often. The laptop has a 15.4" widescreen running at 1280 x 800 resolution. The...

Nice work. Not what I would consider "built ins", though. More like a free standing wall unit. Just curious, why did you not run to the walls and scribe in the stiles to fit? Those side gaps look...

I bought mine at the Woodworking Show from Cut-n-crown. They don't show them online, though. Maybe give them a call/email.

Dave, I'm interested in seeing your tutorials. I'm always looking for smarter ways to work in SketchUp.

I've been using the software for about a year now. Cabinets are easily built by modifying one of the included "seed" cabinets. Once you have them modified, you can save them in a separate directory...

Dave,

When routing small pieces like that, I have better luck using a handheld router and a router pad. I would never try what you're doing with a router table. Too many things can (will) go...

Woodslicer. Very nice resaw blade for those (like myself) using a 14" BS. Can't help with any of the larger size blades, since I suffer from BS envy. :(

They all do now. That's why the (previous version) mini is on closeout.

Plenty accurate enough for cabinet work. I don't see how you could do much better. Not for that price anyhow.

Ok, that makes sense, because I remembered the model number ending with a 7. The 267 was $300.

I've talked to two different Hilti reps. The 265 is $300. Just went to the Hilti site to verify model number. They've added 4 new saws to the mix since I was there last week (used to be only 2...

The 2610/6" is made in Germany (i.e. Metabo), the 2600/5" is made in China (i.e. like everything else :) ). I'm going to try out the 2610 next time Rigid goes on sale.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that this is some brokerage (?) firm that is clearing out the remaining inventory of (now defunct) Jesada. They've been at the past few shows.

I didn't think so either. Heavy on "classes" and Dewalt/PC/Delta boothes. Companies that I didn't see that have been there in the past: Leigh, Keller, Highland Hardware, TWC (bankrupt, IIRC),...

Hey, Andy. Is this the dual mode sander that Metabo makes for Ridgid that you are talking about?

I always prime the whole case and finish what can be seen.

Fein sells a step adaptor that will fit the PC sander or anything else between 1 1/4" to 1" (4 steps). You can cut it off to fit whatever.


Probably can, but Festool isn't going to make it...

I had similar problems. I cut some small triangles of rubber floor mat and put them between the BS and mobile base. Now I don't have any vibration problems. YMMV.

Tyler,

FYI, Rockler is selling their mobile base kits (you supply the hardwood rails) for $32 right now (retail store), $39 mail order. Not bad, considering what decent wheels cost.

Cheers.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe because 90% of a drill press' weight is a the very top. :) Most mobile bases are built with a lower center of gravity than what you have. If it works for you, go for it.

Geezus, Frank. That looks downright dangerous. No wonder you're holding on with two hands. :eek:

If it isn't, then this forum has lost all usefulness, IMHO.

Lighten up, guys.:p

The leveling screws and it has spring loaded bearings that push out from the sides to keep the insert tight.

Funny. I was thinking of the "Seinfield" Newman. :D

I've got a question for those of you that have the full set of aluminum inserts. What is the blank insert for? Just something that I've been wondering about. :cool:
