Another vote for the thin Starbond and the included extension tips. Good stuff - I leave the extension uncapped for months and it never hardens in the nozzle.

I favor Choice 2 (Laminate over MDF). That's what I did. I felt plywood might warp/twist a bit over time. And I think melamine, while nice and slippery, gets chips and nicks too easily since it is...

In the video, he says he uses High Density Fiberboard for the sled. Not sure where to buy HDF - I've only ever seen MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) - will that suffice?

I have a Delta 28-203, so a similar bandsaw but a 1980s model. My blade is not centered between the aluminum guide blocks, but it is definitely in front of the bearing. Can't exactly help you with...

I have a cardboard "Tension!" reminder that I stick to the table with a magnet, around the blade, whenever I un-tension (de-tension?) the blade.

I too have a small shop (1.5 car garage), and everything is on wheels. I built a rolling cart for my DeWalt 735, and it lives under my table saw, out of the way. It's a little too low for...

Thanks for the feedback. What brand and do you like it? I want an oil-less design. I'm tired of giving my 18 a drink every time I use it.

I did a search before posting - couldn't find any mention of 21! Grex, Senco and others all make them now.

I have one nailer (18 gauge), and I want something smaller for jobs where the 18 gauge head is just too big/unsightly. I don't have any particular projects in mind - just wondering if 21 gauge would...

It's subjective, but it feels like the suction is the same between this "5.5HP" DeWalt and my old "6HP" ShopVac. The hoses are interchangeable. The filters (no surprise) are NOT interchangeable. ...

Just picked one up at Lowes for $139 after reading about it on another forum. Also bought a $50 HEPA filter to go with it.

I'd stick 80 grit sandpaper to something super-flat (I use a piece of granite slab left over from my kitchen counter installation). Scribble pencil around the top lip of the box body to measure...

Where I live (Arizona), the 2x4's at the Blue BORG (Lowes) are far superior to the ones at the Orange BORG. The blue ones appear to be kiln dried and more stable than the orange ones which are...

I've done a lot of flush trimming on WilsonArt laminate and it has never chipped on me. It doesn't seem very chip-prone. Used a Freud flush trim bit in a compact router.

I see they have several distributors in Seattle. The one by me in Tempe, Arizona sells a zillion different colors by the sheet, and they have them in stock.

Try Wilsonart. www.wilsonart.com. I see they have a distributor in Moorestown NJ which is close to Philly. I've purchased 4x8 sheets from their massive warehouse in Tempe, AZ. They have every...

The Makita RT0701C trim router has a 65mm body. I use it on my CNC with 65mm mount. For what it's worth, the equivalent DeWalt trim router is 69mm.

This link may help. Different model bandsaw, but same concept. The pics in the link are worth a thousand words...

The board is currently 7/8" thick, and no odors. When I bought it roughsawn, it was already bleeding - I didn't think anything of it at the time. I will avoid "oily" boards in the future. In the...

I've had this piece of Purpleheart for years, and I've never had Purpleheart "bleed" like this. It's at 5% moisture content. If I sand it, the bleeding comes back within a short time.

Not sure this will help you since you think your problem is with the worm gear, but... I have an inherited PM66, circa 1984. My height adjustment was so hard to turn, it was like dogging the hatch...

And another thought...Is there any slop in the fit of the wedgie sled into the miter slot? I think any wiggle at all would cause the angles to vary enough to show up in a 48 segment ring.

Some thoughts...

1. Are you keeping the same side of your stock against the wedgie sled fences for every cut as you move back and forth between the two fences? Or are you using only one fence and...

Curious timing on your question as I ran into this situation today. I always run a line down the stock so I can flip every other piece, figuring it "cancels out" any deviation from 90 degrees on my...

Thanks! I found the 20" extension on the Laguna site, which can be mounted there if you want 2 banjos at the same time:
