I have to somewhat agree with Oneida, all of the commercial air shop cleaners are garbage and probably do more harm than good. They might keep dust nibs off your finish but they won't clean the...

The Kapex is also loud, just as loud as my old craftsman miter saw i had before i bought my kapex. I guess it quieter on the low speed settings but who uses that? I always have mine on the highest...

Thanks for the tutorial! Just picked up a set of chisels and this was my first piece

Came here to say exactly the same thing!

I built a gym in my basement using 3/8" thick Regupol Aktiv rubber flooring. Worked great, nice to walk on, tough, and doesn't have much of an odor like most other mats. If I was doing my garage...

I seriously don't think boshield is all that its cracked up to be. It only lasted a couple months when I used it, wears off quite easily. I now use ProtecTool wax from leevally and it lasts me...

I don't think you're going to find a nicer compact drill than your Festool, sounds like you just need another battery to keep in the charger.

I've tried boshield and WD-40 but the best I've used so far is "protectool wax" http://www.leevalley.com/US/wood/page.aspx?p=70854&cat=1,43456. Somewhat expensive and takes a bit longer to apply but...

When I have to replace my garage I plan to rent a sea container and place it a few feet away from the garage to store all my tools. A sea can is fairly secure and I wont have to move my tools very...

I would agree with Allan, build an enclosure for it inside your shop. Also when you build it be sure to connect the hoses to the correct ports on the cyclone, it looks like you had it drawn the...

I think theres a lot of pros and cons already mentioned here, my vote is the garage. One more pro about the garage is when you add insulation and heating its going to increase the value if you ever...

For the amount that youre going to use it, why not keep a larger breaker bar in the trunk for loosening the lug nuts?

I don't think Festool even attempts to get the lasers spot on from the factory. I had to adjust mine myself but they are now dead on. Pretty much every tool you should expect to tweak to get it...

If it says 1 HP on the nameplate its probably not going to put out much more than 1 HP. If its using 2.2 HP at max load that just means its an inefficient motor, they also might assume the motor is...

I'm sure there are guys on here that make much more than 65k a year that have a hard time justifying a 10k+ woodworking machine for hobby use so dont feel bad if you cant afford it because very few...

I would have to disagree that the 700 is easier to use than the 500. I had the 700 for a few weeks and I just couldnt get as good as accuracy as i could with the 500. The weight IS a big factor,...

I would if I didn't already have one :D

You can get the electrical certification done yourself, but its a little risky because they will likely find a few things that would need to be replaced. The electrical certification is a provincial...

I looked at one in a showroom and drooled over it. Very nice machine. The blade guard slides up and down on 2 linear bearings, doesnt look like they took any short cuts when they designed it.

Thanks for the review, well done on the video!

I don't want to discourage you because it sounds like a fun project for yourself, and it would be nice to have, but there are companies that already make table saws with this feature such as Felder,...

So I accidentally signed up for some fetish group on yahoo... There are some interesting "group meets" though.

I think you would be better off just buying from Felder or FS Tool to avoid risking damaging a new blade by trying to machine it. FS Tool makes good stuff and have a lot of selection.

Out of those, I've only seen the Hammer N4400 in person and was comparing it to the Felder FB-510. The Hammer looks well made but the Felder is a bit nicer and has more features (better dust...

I havent used a lion trimmer before but I cant see the need for it if you have a Kapex. The cut quality is much better than any other saw ive used and its more than just a sharp blade. I used to...
