I did speak with SawStop and found the same as many other individuals; they are very helpful and provide great customer service. The tech gave me a list of parts that I'd need to make the...

It's actually more than just cost; here's some info from a machinist forum where someone wanted to run a VFD/inverter with a 7.5 hp motor:

Hey guys, I've found a Sawstop 7.5 hp 3 phase cabinet saw for just a couple hundred dollars, but I need to convert it to single phase. A VFD would be expensive for one that could run a 7.5 hp motor...

You don't want a dual 2 ohm speaker for that amp. You want either a dual four, or a single two. The link you provided showed a single two. just hook the positive of the sub to the positive of...

Sony Xplod subwoofers are a false economy: The sound quality is not very good by any means. I feel pretty confident that if you put a TRUE 2200 watt RMS amplifier on two sony Xplod subs you would...

I have an Edge Pro system, and it's fantastic. Great Sharp edges, but I hardly ever use it. I have three worksharps, but hate the way a knife feels on them. I have a 1x30 belt sander, but it's...

Mike, I don't comment often, but I've read every page on your site and really admire your work. I've enjoyed all of your tutorials, and take your shop as example of the fact that I don't need a...

Wood magazine had a comparison looking for the best blade under $50, and the rigid won. For those of you who own one, check something for me. My 50 tooth combo from Rigid doesn't actually have a...

I've got one and have used it with great success as David commented - for straight razors. Haven't tried it with plane blades, but I think it *could* work. It cuts slow enough that i wouldn't want to...

This was an interesting and thought provoking thread. The idea of how our forefathers of long ago developed a reference edge made me wonder how I would do it. My solution for a reference edge of any...

It's a false dillemma to say that we are either at our best now or have peaked some time in the past. Another option could be that we simply have plateaued. I have to wonder if the craftsman of today...

The xxc dmt doesn't give me problems with sticking at all, and i can use the coarse 325 plate just fine if i have plenty of water. Running water is best for the coarse plate, but not needed for the...

Im with david on this. I have shaptons ranging from 220 to 16000 (glass stones) and dnt stones from extra extra coarse to extra fine. The XXC dmt laps every stone i have. I don't use lots of pressure...

Any plans to recommend that they put out an actual jointer plane? I don't own any of the wood river planes, but it seems that that is the glaring gap in their line up.

Dan, what's the point of going up to 5000 on the primary bevel? If it isn't the cutting edge then isn't it just as fine to stop at the 1000? I've done it before, but I've found its just fine to have...

putting small feet on one side of the board to raise it about 1/8 of an inch off the surface of the counter (or more) is a good practice to follow with cutting boards to ensure that if something is...

If I am understanding things right, a combination blade typically has an ATB+R tooth pattern with four alternating top bevel teeth commonly ground at 10 degrees followed by a square raker tooth with...

Someone on a local woodworking site of which I am a member is currently nursing a hand wound due to a non-through cut. He was pushing the wood through a dado cut when the blade grabbed the wood and...

Sorry for the OT, but did anyone else notice that he practically never puts pressure on the outfeed side?

I think Glenn Bradley has it right; if I tighten the clamp so it is even and parallel I don't have problems with any of my chisels, 1/4" are no problem. That along with not trying to force it =...

HF clamps are hand tools, and have a lifetime warranty. If you break one, take it back.

Sorry, Matt, but if you are using stabilizer jacks you aren't camping! :)

I shave with a straight razor every time I shave. Have done so for years. I hone my own razors, and have people who regularly call me and ask me to hone their razors for them.

Normally, I...

I'm pretty sure it happened about the same time that calling a beer a cold one started. Its a common colloquial phrase.
Of course it's fine to have a Pepsi. But don't use your cast iron table tops...

It's not the entire book, but quite a good sized chunk of it is on Google Books available as a limited preview.

Almost all of the stuff about setup, guides, etc are in the preview. It gives you...
