As a designer in the auto industry, I've always designed in metric. In my shop I primarily design and work in inches, sometimes fractions, sometimes in decimal inches.

I think both measurement...

I just added the Harvey Cast Iron router table, fence, and dust collector setup to my cabinet saw. Wow...it's very nice! Harvey has some very cool and innovative designs.

I wouldn't worry too much about Sjobergs classifications. To work well with hand tools, you want a sturdy and heavy workbench that's not going to move around the floor when you're planing a board....

It's been a long time since I've used sassafras, but I have fond memories of working it. Sassafras has been on my mind lately so seeing your thread really caught my eye. The grain and color are...

Cosman recommends a 17deg chisel for soft woods like cedar and pine. https://robcosman.com/collections/chisels/products/cosmanized-17-degree-chisel-1-2-inch Make sure your chisels are sharp!

Plus one...and I use CAD every work day!

I think you should pursue a raised panel look and construction, which is essentially what you have without the 'raised part'. To keep it contemporary you could just have a 1/8" to 1/4" gap between...

I think I prefer the moving top I have on my jig. It's very easy to slide the top to center the bit over the mortise, plus it's precisely 90 degrees to the router bit and the whole table is rock...

Hi Bud,

I just finished my mortising jig, and it ended up looking very much like a Morley Mortiser, even though it started out as a Woodsmith mortiser. Using the MicroJig clamps is a big...

I'm planning on going to the event in Columbus, Oh this year.

Interesting, but I think it's hard to beat a simple plunge router sitting on a shop built mortising jig with an adjustable table, something like this:...

Derek,

Your MFT looks very functional, and beautiful as well. Nice work!

I'm working on building the Woodsmith Mortising jig presently. It's very similar to the Morley design with a few variations in the clamping and router holding configuration. ...

That would make me pretty uncomfortable. I have a basement shop, so in the winter the air is much dryer than outside. High humidity and cold is not a good combination for plywood. I would worry...

You may be overthinking it just a bit. Standing a board on end means most of the weight is directed downward with only a slight force in the horizontal direction. In my vertical storage area, I...

I'm not a particular fan of t-tracks in tables as I find them somewhat tedious, but others may find them very useful. I did build an outfeed table/workbench that sits behind my table saw. I also...

I wonder why you are limiting yourself to low cfm shop vacs when something like a 1 -1.5 hp dust collector will get you much higher cfm at 120v. Even if it's not a canister style, you can still get...

There are many possible reasons, one of which is that the saw was subjected to a whole lot of vibration on the way home. Was the blade on the machine and in tension while being hauled? Are the...

Table saw kick back can definitely scare your pants off, and a wood lathe that chucks a 4x4 past your head will give you pause, but I think the most dangerous tool is the drill press due to...

Objective reason?? No. I suspect they're both pretty competitive. That said, I decided to build around the Makita brand for my cordless tools, well, Makita and Dewalt. Choose a battery and color...

I just received my new G0766 (March 2021) and installed a Robust 12" Comfort tool rest on it with no issues. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the tool rests are now 25.4mm, not 25mm. That was...

I want to replace the tool rest on my new G0766 lathe, and would like suggestions on what I should replace it with. I'm leaning towards the Robust 12" Custom Tool Rest with the long post. The only...

Thanks so very much Brice! UPS Freight is supposed to deliver the lathe today.

"As others have said, as long as you can lift 100 lbs you can do it yourself. "

Uh, yeah... That may be the problem... :-)

Would it be possibly for someone who owns the G0766 to take a quick measurement from the floor to the underside of the lathe bed for me?

Thanks kindly!
