A sliding compound miter saw isn't a radial arm saw even on it's best day - any more than a .357 magnum is close to a .35 Remington.

I do have to add this edit though.
I had a couple of low end...

From the "4 Martini lunch" period....

Sort of the geek version of "hold my beer and watch this".

Make sure you use a good firm sanding block. You need to apply even pressure.
I'm not a fan of any of the fancy padded blocks. I just use a scrap of wood.
YMMV on this. Uniformity across the block...

+1 to the DeWalt right angle drive.

Makita here.

Drill/driver - 5.0AH for the full sized hammer drill/drill/driver and impact
Same for the multifunction tool and the track saw - and the small 5 3/8" saw.

The small cordless...

That is a huge red flag.
In a real estate market where everything is going up in price, an enormous cut in price like that has to be for a reason.

Gary - thanks!

I'm going to take George up on his offer (& I hope he at the very least will let me pay for breakfast on Tuesday in return for his railings) to do this project.

I still have 250...

A lot of collets are consumables.

Check online to see where to pick one up for your router.


You are making sure when you seat the bit you pull up on it so it's not bottomed out right?

I...

Good luck.
I mean it - I don't wish any bad fortune on you.

I really mean that.

History and tens of thousands of people I dealt with selling these types of things for over 20 years tell me...

The rail is Waddle Galley Rail

I bought the spindles so now I just need to make the rails and put it together.

I need some help making a jig to space the holes on the rails.

I'm sort of...

No - there's really no practical way to speed up any part of the process. This is one of those thing that only time can do.
Even kiln dried pressure treated will need a month of exposure.
Rush this...

I picked up a Ridgid 6" a few years back to scuff sand the hardwood floors of a rental house.
They were in decent shape and didn't need sanded all the way down to bare wood.

I've since used it on...

Don't overthink this.

Drill a 1/2" to 1" hole in the side and run a rope through.
Tie a big knot on the rope so it won't pull out of the hole.

Do the same to the other end of the rope and you...

Congratulations all around!
My wife and I celebrated 41 years on the 18th also.

I'd tray a paint roller on an extension handle.

I used my Porter Cable biscuit cutter and followed up with a slot cutting bit to do that exact same job. It was a bit more tedious - but - it worked very well.

20years ago I bought a plastic one at Lowes.
It broke about three months ago so I bought another one.

The new one even came with a proper size drill bit. What's not to love?

NMI....

Is this for wooden shingles/shakes or is it for asphalt shingles?

This right here...

Plus - the real value of sanding sealer - to a professional - was in the quick dry feature which allowed for sealing - sanding - one finish coat of varnish, all within one 8...

In real estate, if you dispose of property at a loss - even during the depreciation period, it incurs no recapture tax.

The whole situation becomes real messy because with depreciation & recapture...

Simple answer is - yes.
It's called the depreciation recapture tax.

The whole thing is pretty complex though.

Here's a decent blog on it:...

Are there any parts of the cast iron you can drill and tap?

I found out how easy it is to drill and tap cast iron when I stuck some side rails/supports on my table saw for an outfeed support.
...

I had a Hitachi 10".

The miter slots are some goofy metric size & they have these little tabs in them which prevent you from making your own runners - so, things like sleds are out.

They are...

Using my Freud box joint blade in my Ridgid TS3660 saw, I had a similar experience.
I found that if varied the amount of tightness I applied to the blade nut, I could dial my blade in to a perfect...

No...but I did pass out in a cow pasture once...
