Hi Ken,
For me, the tool you describe is the Stanley No. 113 compass plane.
Having fiddled around with the 113 for several hours to achieve marginal results, I have come to prefer the careful...
Hi Chris,
I have both the Kreg fence, currently on a Delta 14" saw, and the Laguna Driftmaster fence that was formerly on a General 20" model. I consider both to be a significant step up from the...
Do you have the time and knowledge to restore the Unisaw? It can be a lot of fiddly work to bring an older, potentially neglected, tool back into shape. If you are up for it, I would go with the...
Hi Brian,
Everything described simply as "wood glue" is polyvinyl acetate (PVA) in various formulations. When used appropriately, wood joined with PVA glue can be more difficult to tear apart...
Hello Joe,
I use the 1/8" version of the Freud 24T (LM72R010) as my primary ripping blade on the TS3660, and I have been satisfied with it. So long as the blade is clean and my pace is even, I...
Hello Joe,
I have the same saw, and share your concerns about safety.
Before doing anything else, I recommend going through the owners manual (there are digital copies available online). In...
Hi Patrick,
I like drills that have the option of standing upright. Both the Milwaukee and Bosch 12v drills are precarious in that orientation.
I've had a DeWalt 12v drill/driver set for...
Good point, Larry.
I had the same experience regarding the Carter "Ultra Blue" (different from "Blue Max") tires on my Delta 14-inch band saw. The Carter tires were considerably thinner than...
Thank you, Rod and Edwin.
Edwin: drawing my attention to your thread was especially enlightening. Cheers.

Hello folks,
Many users seem to be happy with their Hammer combination jointer-planers straight off the truck and thereafter, but where an issue does exist I am interested in the adjustment...
Hello folks,
Thanks for the feedback. It is encouraging to hear that many have found their combination machines to remain true throughout frequent changes of operation, and that adjustment is...
Hello folks,
For those of you who work with combination jointer/planer machines: how reliably do the tables maintain co-planar alignment? I struggle to think that these machines can be as...
Folks, I'm skeptical of this saw too. But the fact is that Laguna designed the Resaw Master model specifically to run the 2" Resaw King blade, so presumably they think it works. Is it primarily a...
Thanks for your feedback, everyone.
Michael: Interesting comment about the Felder Jointer/Planer being similarly quiet to your bandsaw. I also take your point about the virtues of the larger...
Hello folks,
Does anyone here have any experience with the Laguna "Italian Resaw Master Bandsaw"? This 18” model is unusual for being (by far) the smallest saw I am aware of to accommodate 2”...
