I wasn’t able to read all the posts in this read. In general, Woodpeckers has well made products, but you have to make an investment in them. I consider each of those I have as a lifetime tool.

My immediate thought is “Why is the fence slipping?” & If you could correct the problem, would you want a new router table system?

Since you did not ask for help in correcting the issue(s) with...

+1 for SCM (Minimax)

call Sam Blasco at SCM. He is a full time woodworker and a rep for them. Very knowledgeable and had many practical suggestions. I seem to recall he owns several brands. I...

I received my 180 grit CBN wheel. I tested it on my lawn mower blades. The Mfgr said it was ok to grind softer steels - ie non HSS blades, as long as I ground at slow enough speed to not generate...

You’re correct. Must have Had a dyslexic moment — of a sort.

i got clarification on this. You can use CBN for softer steels if and only if you slow the grinder speed/feed rate and go slow enough to prevent overheating. Those putting CBN on fixed speed ac...

Bad Dog Tools. Lifetime warranty. Buy once, cry once!

Jon, Thanks for the education. I knew VFD’s provided speed control. I did not remember it would convert 3 phase to single phase.

I nearly dismissed your reply but your experience caused me to dig a little deeper. I spoke with two distributors of CBN Wheels. Both said they sharpen lawn mower blades on CBN; one said he has...

Thanks Bill. I see you’re a 3 phase advocate. I looked at 3 phase a several years back when I was building my shop. It’s cost prohibitive to convert everything to 3 phase, as it is cost prohibitive ...

Don’t rush this last step. Take your time to assure you’ll have a flat work surface. I’d make sure each 7-1/2” segment is flat and the glue edges are square to the top face, sliding a square along...

Good decision. The question I always ask is “What other tools do I need / want that I cannot get now by choosing this purchase?”.

Is there any advantage to having a variable speed bench grinder?

Obviously, slower speed means less heat generation but longer times to grind. With the variable speed I could turn it up for jobs...

I have the 5625 Milwaukee. I bought it at the suggestion of Mark at Incra tools. He said he has used many models of routers in his trade shows and demos. I seem to recall that the first time he used...

I had the triton 3hp. It quickly broke. They use cheap plastic gears for height adjust. Teeth stripped out. They went into bankruptcy. warranty was not honored. It was a couple of years before I...

Wow! I bought one b/c I didn't already have a small graduated layout square. I felt The $58 ish cost with shipping was steep, but justified it b/c they are well made tools.

I can't fathom...

I am adding the Incra TS LS Fence to my Sawstop PCS with mobile base. I am inquiring as to the feasibility of using my existing Sawstop legs vs purchasing the Incra legs. The SS legs are attached to...

Stan,
There are a lot of ways to go here. Although you seem to indicate your skills and tools are at a beginner level, you have a couple of options.

I suggest adding a strip of hardwood to the...
