The one I'm looking at one in pretty good condition for $650. Sound reasonable?

Anyone have experience with a Grizzly G0500 8" Jointer? I am considering buying a used one and just wondering if anyone has any experience thay's like to share.

I'm ready to add my first block plane for general wood working. Any suggestions for under $100?

Jim, Why do you find yourself using the end vise more than the side one?

Thanks Glenn for the input and including the pictures.



Why do you think that is?



I've heard a couple of people say that, but I don't understand why.

Right handed, and I can put the vise on the left or right side, or right or left side of the front.

I have my 32x60 workbench almost complete, and I'm trying to decide where to put my Eclipse 7" vise on the end or front. I will probably be using the bench for assembly, glue-ups, finish work, hand...

Thanks Jim. I'd love to see pictures of your shop some time.

For clarification, what is UL?

I think I answered my own question as soon as I posted it. I also want to use it as an outfeed table. Right now I have a Dewalt job saw that's at about 35".

Thanks everyone for the ideas. The bench will be 32x72 and I've decided to make the top out of two layers of domestic 3/4" birch ply with 2-3 coats of poly. I'm also going to make the top removable,...

I'm in the process of designing and building my first woodworking work bench and I'm looking for some opinions. I plan on using a two layer top with 3/4" plywood as the base and the top layer either...

That's the mode I'm currently in, gathering ideas. Thanks again Art.

Thanks Art for both your thoughts and the pictures. Do you find the size of the working area works well for you?

I have a small shop that I'll be building an integrated work table for, and looking for ideas and suggestions.

I have a dewalt job saw that needs to be mounted to the table, and I want the table...

I just took a look at the system. Pretty interesting

Jon, after reading some of yesterday's comments, I had a similar idea. After some research, I found this type of entry door held together with magnets.

Let me ask another question. Are we making too much out of how much dust there will be?

I plan on having a rudimentary dust collection system with a shop vac and dust deputy. But since I'm just starting out, we don't know how much doesn't actually get collected and will settle on other...

I'm in the process of converting one bay of my garage into my first wood working shop. My better half has asked my to some how partition it off to limit the amount of dust, etc. getting into the...

Stan, it does make sense. Here's a picture of the table.

I'm assuming the through-slots you mentioned are the diagonal slots in the picture.

Wow Glenn, you must have been listening in on the conversation I had with my wife a couple of weeks ago. At this point, I don't know what my needs are and the only way to find out is to get some...

Thanks Marshall. As I'm just starting out, I'm taking the approach of building as much as I can myself as opposed to buying. My thinking is that through the research, design, and build, I am going to...

Thanks for the suggestion Don. I've considered used, and I understand that older models can be real workhorses compared to new. But as a true beginner, I don't know how to evaluate very well the...

Thanks Stan. I didn't even think about the metal table and auxiliary table as something to look at. What are the considerations I be looking for attaching the auxiliary table?
