    I use the Veritas Mk II and I like it very much. It is much faster than the Tormek. It is similar to the work sharp, but a little bigger and maybe a bit more heavy duty. If I was buying one today...

    That is a very cool looking vise! My personal preference is also to have the rear jaw of the vise flush with the side of the bench top. I like Keith's idea of making the jaw wider than the vise. ...

    Hi Adam,

    The 'best' vise type is somewhat subjective. On my bench I have a Record style face vise on the side and a Veritas Twin Screw on the end. I find that I use the face vise over 90% of the...

    FWIW, I have had feedback from several people who used laminated bench tops from Grizzly and they have all been satisfied with them.

    I have a few Bosch power tools, but not a Bosch ROS. I do have a 5" Festool and a 6" Rigid ROS, and I have used several other brands. The Rigid is a beast of a sander, and I like it very much! All...

    I wanted to let you know this turned out. I took Allan's advise and called Penn State. They had never heard of the exact problem of the unit beeping, but they said it was obviously malfunctioning. ...

    I would love to find someone who could sharpen carbide bandsaw blades. I tried to get a tri-master shapened at a local saw shop, but they wouldn't do it. Has anyone had one sharpened?

    Thanks,...

    Prashun,

    Have you had a chance to use the Veritas tail vise? It looks great, but I have not actually used one yet.

    Thanks,
