I'd go with two 4" connections for the reason Carl stated.
Btw, you'll find that you'll need to provide secondary incoming air source in your cabinet, since the opening in your router plate is...
Rick, with only one filter unit, I agree with you. Point the intake side toward where the dust is created.
My $.02: For a shop your size, you might consider adding one ore two more units, or to...
Tons more work that hanging drywall, but I think it will be worth it in the long run.
I bet you're finding out how square your walls are!
such an amazing shop! Please keep the progress pics coming.
Ditto on what Jim said. You want double-locking casters, which I've never seen at Home Depot. But even then, they seem to move a little bit. I found some at Woodcraft. They're nice, but they...
Randall, you've probably already moved the saw at this point, but a few additional thoughts:
The motor and carriage are easy to remove. Just take the cap off of the end of the arm and slide it...
Thomas,
Sounds like you have a fairly reasonable HOA. Glad you're able to find a workable compromise!
Good luck with your project.
Peter
Thanks Rod. Sounds like you know your stuff, because the only part that I understood was your last sentence. lol. As long as that's the case, I'll carry on as usual. The electrical zapping sound...
Hi all.
I recently acquired a 1950's DeWalt model GA radial arm saw with a 3hp single phase motor.
The wiring in the motor was pretty tattered, so I carefully replaced the wires that I could...
Melanie,
Before doing anything, I recommend testing the hypothesis that basement moisture is causing the cupping by putting relative humidity meters in your house and in the basement as...
Looking good!
Unfortunately I did clean the ways completely with acetone and cleaned the bearings off. It wasn't until I cleaned that I noticed the play. sigh. I think it's close enough that it will work for...
I just recently bought a 50's Dewalt GA as well. Sadly, I just realized last night as I went to adjust it that it has fairly similar wear to Larry's... There's a little bit of side-to-side play in...
I bought the SS with the long rails. Total waste of space. I've cut the rails down twice now, and currently have about 30" of rip capacity. I don't think I've ever ripped more than 24" (for base...
I used to work at one of Spotify's competitors so I can speak from experience as both a user and from a product perspective.
If you're not worried about the difference between $5 per month and $10...
Sorry, one more thing and I'll shut up.
This is the sump pump setup I used:

Hi Sam,
I think you made the right choice, although, yeah, that will be spendy. Do you plan to do it yourself, or hire out?
Also, I know you decided to go another route, but to be sure, the...
Charley is absolutely right, and my advice should've started there. Simplest solutions first! Make sure your downspouts direct water far away from your house. Put in dry wells if necessary. And of...
Sorry Sam, no idea where I came up with Gator Guard. Brain fart.
I meant Catcus Board:

Good luck!
Hi Sam,
Sorry for your troubles.
When researching how to keep my basement shop dry, I learned that just about any product that that is applied to the wall or floor that claims to keep water out...
Two things:
1) Since you're doing this for practice, it's important to do a root cause analysis in order to learn. John's questions will send you down that path.
2) To fix what you have now, I...
Conduit is pain in the butt on the front end, but a huge benefit later on if you think you are likely to buy new machines or reconfigure the shop. I ran conduit throughout my basement shop and while...
You guys are cracking me up! haha
Quick follow-up to my follow-up. ;)
I plumbed the central vac over the weekend with 2" schedule 40 PVC. I glued every joint and used off the shelf 2.5" aluminum blast gates. I'm disappointed...
