    I own Trent Bosch's Stabilizer and Visualizer. While it's kind of a black hole to go down in terms of cost, I was never sorry that I bought the Statilizer first; then the Visualizer. The Stabilizer...

    I would agree that, if a woodworking tool or jig or fixture is something that gives you increased capability and enhances your ability to do certain tasks, it's worth it. For example, I bought the...

    In the end, it really doesn't matter what we all think companies like Grizzly should do. Most bandsaws come with blades that probably don't last very long. However, I found that, when I bought my...

    With a solidly glued Domino, I can't imagine racking would be an issue, especially with 8mm Dominos. Generally I would probably use a 6mm Domino. Unless this cabinet is meant to withstand a lot of...

    If it were me, my normal way of resolving this would most likely be to rip the boards into 3"-4" widths on the bandsaw, joint the ripped boards to flatten one side, plane the other side, and glue...

    There are two possibilities for "saving" the cookie. One is to rout bowties or some other shape to tie the two sides of the largest opening together and maybe one or two smaller bowties for the...

    For me, the most useful type of vise is an end vise with bench dog holes along about half the length of the bench and on the top of the vise face. That allows me to handle a variety of shapes and...

    The answer, as others have said, is getting the saw setup properly and the Alex Snodgrass method works. Since I've used it, I get exceptional results. There are, o course, others who have slightly...

    I doubt there is any woodworking task that doesn't produce some dust. Even usning HSS gouges where mostly havings are coming off the blank produces some dust. I can see that when I forget to turn on...

    Based on the manual for my Supermax 16-32, it may be caused by a slipping belt which should be resolved by tightening the belt tension. The instruction manual would be the source for both the...

    I absolutely recommend the Woodpecker miter bar over any other I tried, including the Incra miter bars. Woodpeckers bar doesn't require any adjustment to fit the slot on your tablesaw (or I suppose...

    I bought my Rikon 1/2 HP grinder from Woodturners Wonders with 2 CBN wheels installed by them. It works great and have not had any problems. If your grinder is within the Rikon warranty it should be...

    A company called BOW makes featherboards; more specifically, a high version just for resawing. I don't know how well that one works, but their model for tablesaws works great. Setup is the main thing...

    Bill's suggestion about marks in the blades and bolts is a good one and could be worth examining if the jointer is older and has had a lot of use.

    I do think it's common for the knives to move a...

    I'm not familiar with the Grizzly jointer, but I assume that, if your knives are the traditional steel jointer knives, that the process for setting the should be similar to others.

    Before I had a...

    For me, no. A track saw is great for cutting up plywood and crosscutting on a table meant for that, but ripping is still better done on a tablesaw or a bandsaw.

    I'm not an expert on drum sanders, but do own the Supermax 16-32. I've had great success. You may know this already, but it's important to take very small bites each pass. I usually try to keep it to...

    I get excellent results with it. I have used it several times and, for those situations, it worked well and saved me a lot of time. Plus, most of the sanding dust is collected which isn't the case...

    Vicmarc does make great lathes and great chucks. I'm sure they would compare favorably with the brands reviewed in FWW. I'm also sure that there are some negatives as there are with all tools....

    I didn't read the other responses so this might be a duplication. I always take reviews of any kind for what they are; one person or group evaluating a selection of the product. I doubt it's possible...

    Why does the reason have to be anything other than the Domino is simply a great tool. It's not a necessity, but it sure is a great tool for joinery; fast, easy to setup, solid joints, and flexible....

    Maybe the reason the Domino is so popular is because it's a unique solution that produces a quality joint. Is it a necessary tool? Not at all. However, it is enjoyable and easy to use, while allowing...

    If you aren't using the miter saw on the job why not consider other alternatives. One is a track saw with guide rail and a work table. Of course, Festool has these at a premium; likely much more than...

    It's really about choices in my opinion. The price for a new Oliver benchtop is $1,000. The price to buy a new 15" with a Byrd helical head is $3,200. The price to upgrade an existing old Dewalt 735...
