If you were set on buying new, I would probably get the Hammer out of those three choices. It is built with European guarding and jigs in mind and Hammer offers a lot of additional accessories and...
Nothing at all actually, I just know it is very very rarely used. I've seen timberframers with them, but just very rarely. Milwaukee is a known brand, one everyone is familiar with so I'd just be...
I am a part time timberframer and know lots of timberframers, follow lots of timberframers and engage in a lot of forums where this discussion comes up a lot. Nobody uses the Milwaukee saws, but...
I'm pretty sure the stock for the actual floor (this was a scrap used for testing) is without blue stain, but I do think this looks quite nice!
Decided to make the second floor "spline and groove" instead of traditional tongue and groove. Makes for a more interesting joint where it is visible. Decided to get some dedicated tooling to...
I have been using the Heritage Natural Finishes products the past few years for my interior and exterior products and really like it so far. The underside of my gable end overhangs will have fake...
I normally do what Jared does too. Was a time when I used to do chip loading calculations and all that jazz, but now that I have done that a bunch I just make sure the machine settings are to...
Haha! Not sure my tractor would lift it, so I'll have to pass. I do have a lovely Buffalo 18" that is a delight to use!

So to resurrect a thread from the catacombs....
This project is carrying on. I ended up inches from needing spinal surgery so I had to shut down for a long time. It was a bad time....
Then as...
Hi Tom, no it's a manual push/pull style like a giant radial arm saw. I hope I get it back up and running because it will be a tremendous help. The plan now is to set up my lathe and vertical...
It's great to see a bit of a resurgence of the Radial Arm Saw with folks buying big old machines and putting them back into service. I have two of them, a 14" Wadkin BRA and a huge 18" beast that is...
Look into Accoya. Machines very well and takes paint very well. I've been experimenting with it and it works quite well. Jointed a board flat 2 years ago and it's still "suction to the jointer...
Very interesting, thanks Kevin. I would assume it could be adjusted out if required, but I do recall the issue being discussed here in the past I just can't seem to find it with the clunky search...
He he.....top secret so far! Negotiations are underway but it will weigh more than my wife's car. :D
Thanks Phillip, I'd kind of thought of those as potential solutions, and I think the copes...
My shapers don't have an integral sliding table, built into the main table. I just use bolt on versions and my new machine will have a side mounted version, but I'm wondering how folks deal with the...
Wow. If you don't have a grinder system, is it at all practical to do the sharpening at home or will you be looking to send them out for sharpening? And if you are sending them out for sharpening,...
Very interesting, I enjoyed that, thank you,

Hi Kevin, here is a video my Mark Hennebury talking about a dedicated machine for the job, though I expect this may have been the Rolls Royce approach.

Brian, could I bother you to take a picture of the insert style knife system you upgraded to? I'm really curious about it. Thank you,
Brent
Wow! I'd never imagined using it for millwork, but the argument is sound! Thanks, now I want one even more!
I really prefer a planed or scraped surface to a sanded one and the SS would really...
Some day when I grow up I would like to have a super surfacer ...
If you can hunt around and find some additional pics of it, the scope and scale of it will blow your mind. Someone said it was the largest outdoor timberframe built in the last 100 years or...
Hi Brian, those sizes are exactly what I was thinking would suit a RAS very well. I am incorporating more Japanese approaches , styles and joinery into my work all the time. Our house will be very...
Exactly, now if you could get an 800lb timber up on the benches in front of the saw it may have enough weight to stay put and maybe wouldn't matter so much if you're not doing a thru cut, but in the...
