    This is pretty much what I did, based on instructions in the Incra Miter Sliders package, but I also (not sure if it was in their instructions or a tip in a woodworking magazine), after your step 6,...

    I agree and I also recommend saving a few bucks by getting a reconditioned set at CPO Makita.

    I have the older DeWalt 12" SCMS (I think the model is 708) and I like it. I rarely need the sliding capacity but that's up to you to consider based on what your needs are and will be. There have...

    Yeah, I'd go with a flush trimming bit on a router. Last time I did that, however, I had the bit tear out a couple of chunks on the side of the face frame. But I'm guessing that was because of...

    Although you pay a bit more because you're buying 3 bases, the DeWalt 618 3 pack is good because the D handle base excells at hand routing and you can put the other fixed base permanently in a table....

    Doug: Oh I wouldn't advise plunging a router bit into a bushing. Because you can do so with a drill bit, locating the hole with a drill bit will be easier and is definitely the way to go given the...

    I think one tecnique for cutting the tops off of already constructed boxes on a table saw is to set the saw blate just a bit shy of the thickness of the sides. Then cut one side at a time. Because...

    A drill bit set up to do this is probably best, but a screw slot bit in a plunge router would be another option. Probably tougher to locate the hole accurately but you could set the plunge to the...
