Good Morning all,

I guess the poly finish was a little thinner on one of the edges of my work piece and when I was smoothing it I burned through the poly and lightened the color underneath. Can I...

I don't have as much experience as most of these guys, but I just started my woodshop over the last year or so. Everyone's financial situation is different, but I tend to have a decent amount left...

I’d get a air quality meter and address your dust problem in steps. I probably went a little overkill, with my clearvue and Jet air filter running my garage stays less than 500 pm2.5 while I’m...

Yep, my wife bought me a set of those fancy earplugs with Bluetooth headphones in them.

**One more quick update**

When I finished running the ducting and sealing everything up it dropped to 85 dB. I don't even think I'm going to bother with the enclosure.

I got the frame built, she's all wired in and I ran her for the first time today.

She screams, and man does she move some air.

I also did the leak check with incense and didn't see any...

I went with PVC, but I only have a 10 foot run of 6 inch piping before I hit my equipment. The small advantages a small shop offers. The ducting cost me about 160$ all in due to fittings and blast...

I'd been using a shopvac with a dust deputy and I was getting by ok. That was until two things happened, I bought a jointer/planer and bought a Dylos meter. The shop vac couldn't keep up with the...

Well, I'm most of the way done. It would have been an easy day project if I didn't have to still meet my family obligations. I guess it's better to take a break and come back with a fresh set of eyes...

I appreciate the info. I looked at them, but I didn't see any at the local store for wires this small. There were a ton of them for large gauge wire. I tend to play it very safe, and I feel pretty...

My motor came wired for the wrong direction of rotation. There are three motor wires that need to be connected together inside the box, and I don't see any way of getting around that. I do agree,...

I thought about adding a disconnect switch in series, but my power box is going to be like 10 feet or less away from the sub panel it gets power from. Nobody else in the house is going to touch the...

I think you're right. I looked up the wire designation on the jacket and it's 14 gauge AWM 1 A wire for appliances. It looks like the standard is copper and I'd think a 5HP motor would have thicker...

For those of you all that have and installed your own CV1800 Dust Collector. (I apologize for posting here, but the Clearvue forums aren't as responsive)

I bought the pre-wired electrical box and...

This occurred to me after I already ordered it. Maybe I’ll load up on cutters just incase. I noticed there are some third party tool companies offering blades on amazon. Not sure of their quality,...

Today is phase 1. I have collected all the required materials and now I am going to start putting my CV1800 together inside a wooden frame.

I ended up finding a local plumbing supply store that...

I’ve read a lot of reviews on the Cutech version that sounded positive. It sounds like they are addressing some of the complaints with the new rebranded Wahuda version. It has an iron table top and a...

Hey all,

I live in a suburban area and we're only serviced once a week and allowed 1 normal sized garbage can of trash per week. I was curious what my fellow city-dwelling woodworking friends do...

I've been looking at Planers and Jointers in the small shop/beginner category and I've been looking at the Cutech lines because I've read nothing but good things about them. Cutech recently rebranded...

These two bulbs took my garage from 40 lum/sq foot to 200 with no rewiring or extra work required. Pretty happy with the improvement.

My garage only has two single bulb fixtures. Before I go through all the hassle of wiring in outlets/fixtures or whatever else I am going to give these fancy LED bulbs a try:...

I’ve worked hard my whole life and saved when others spent. I’m in a position now where I can afford to buy a tool or two if I want it. Like many have said, there are much worst things to waste money...

I have the 780, like Mike said it’s a bright LED that shows the shadow of the blade. It is very effective in my opinion.

Be patient and wait for a sale, Dewalt gives the 2-300$ miter stand away...

I have the Jet 1000 and it is pretty much a pretty version of a HEPA filter strapped to a box fan. I’m sure you could accomplish the same thing, it just won’t look all fancy.

Super crude, just sketching in MS paint. You would think in a house with little kids I would have a ton of art supplies, but I couldn't find a ruler or grid paper to save my life.
