    Leg vise is in. Works great, holds tight.

    Also made a sliding deadman, works great but I may either make it wider or remake it to be wider. It’s a little tippy as it slides.

    Interesting, I haven’t really had the need for anything taller than 1/4”. If I’m planing something tall and thin I usually put it in a vise, tall and wide stuff is usually fine with a short stop.

    3ph is great, It’s nice not to feel limited based on that. So the added cost/effort of getting some sort of phase conversion is helpful.

    I have my 7hp Martin running on 1ph with a VFD.

    I’m not understanding what that is doing that the aluminum veritas are not doing? Both are a planing stop when you need them and gone when you don’t.

    It’s a drop in stop, so it’s not permanent and quite a durable one from what I can tell. My worry with something like you show is that it will get broken out after repeated use.

    Looking forward to it! Couple week lead time on the vise, so that gives me time to prepare.

    I agree completely.

    0.0005" over 6" is generally square enough in my shop for the try squares. If I use this as a general parameter for how square a tenon shoulder should be, the results create...

    The Veritas one is probably ideal, but I’m having trouble reconciling the modern look.

    Call your local PD if you are unsure, they'll be able to give you a definitive answer but in my experience a pelican case with a padlock is acceptable.
