I now have a permanent dust collection system. The hose is secured to table saw port with a band clamp. I like the bridged band clamps, such as Powertec 70226 or Lee Valley Bridge hose clamp. ...

The pressure comes from spring hinges. The hinges maintain uniform pressure over a range of 3/4 inch which allows for lots of variation in wood thickness. The spring tension on the hinges is...

‘That wide range of adjustment for rough stock was my main goal. With a traditional feather board I have to run the board through thickness planer before re-saw, which is annoying.

Made this "feather board" for re-saw on bandsaw. Works good and handy when re-sawing a long board.

The segmented cutter head is more demanding on the motor, but this is easily resolved by running the Dewalt planer on the slow speed feed rate, and a shallower cut I necessary. Once it is...

There are many ways of checking that blade is 90 degrees to table. Here is my favorite method. It requires no measuring tools, just a scrap of wood. Cut the piece of wood in half, then flip one half...

This has become my favourite sled. Small and lightweight, it handles most tasks.

As the sled is only on one side of the blade, dado blades can be used.
In addition to dado cuts, the dado blade...

I wanted handles that were flush. Solution was to cut a relief on the back of drawer plate, using a cove bit, on the router table.

The Blum MOVENTO drawer slides work great. I got the optional...

Got my SawStop and Dust collection set up a while ago and it all works good.

My goal was a dust collection system that was:; automated so that I did not have to think about it; absolute minimum...

Mortice Sled for a Router Table that has a router lift
Works like a horizontal mortice machine

Slide sled back and forth while raising the router bit. Stop when DRO indicates desired mortice...

Here is my implementation of level sensor using readily available parts. I have filled the dust bin a dozen times and it worked every time. I set the sensor to come on when the sawdust is about 5"...

I am late to this discussion, but curious about the resolution. Anything more you can share.

The Kreg KMS7200 bandsaw fence is well made with sturdy extrusions. I did find it necessary to implement some improvements, which I will explain here with photos. Also made a YouTube video for...

While sorting through my stack of Ash lumber in preparation for making a bed frame, I notice lots of white powder and lots of dead bugs 1mm x 3 to 4mm. Likely powder post beetles based on earlier...

UPDATE: One year later.
As shown in the video, the sled is made with two runners and the runners do not have to fit snug in the table saw miter slots. One year later, having gone through the...

I saw that in the video, where the stock slides behind the stop for the first cut. Good solution when it works, but won't work on anything larger than the space behind the stop. That would include,...

The Katz-Moses stop block has a great advantage in not moving at all when a piece of wood is pushed against it.

Unfortunately it does not flip out of the way. For me, flip up feature is...

Nice work. I understand the ProScale has 0.001" resolution, versus the 0.005" resolution of the Wixey, and the ProScale looks to be a more rugged design etc. Of course it costs quite a bit more...

A couple of years from now you will thank yourself for going with the ProScale. I am located in Canada so the Proscale costs gets really expensive with current high "international" shipping costs...

Already I would like the 0.001 resolution. I liked how the Wixey did not have cables, and I liked the AAA batteries instead of button cell, and the price was reasonable. My work around for the...

I contacted Wixey by email (as they do not provide phone support) and explained my problem. Here is the core of Barry Wixey email response:

"When we added the +/- buttons so you could program in...

Sorry to hear that. The Wixey Type 2 display units use AAA batteries, rather than button cells used in Type 1, and have an auto shutoff feature, so should last a while, but only time will tell. ...

Thanks for that info.

i sent an email to digital@wixey.com , which I assume is in the USA. I don’t know if that will reach Barry. The website explicitly says they cannot be reached by phone. ...
