I got tired of waiting for the Blum slides and got the similar slides from Custom Service Hardware. Same dimensions for the drawer boxes and they appear quite robust. If they fail in the future, will...

I have been very happy with my Hammer K3 Winner with the 78 inch stroke. Have built a bunch of cabinets and casework as a hobbyist and DIYer. If I had one complaint it would be the location of the...

I've been very happy with my Hammer K3 Winner with the 79 inch stroke. It came standard with the outrigger table and the scoring motor. I've had it now for 5 years and could not be happier. Since I...

Thank you all for the replies. The machine is two speed. I will look into the Freeborn cutters and the Aigner fence.

I was recently able to purchase a 3HP Delta shaper with a fixed 1 inch spindle. It was a steal and I am getting set to build a ton of cabinet doors and so I thought it was a good purchase. I have two...

Hello,

I am about the embark on a cabinet build for my home office and was planning on doing cabinet boxes on a ladder frame base. The floor in the office is on-grade concrete. The room is very...

My supplier in Northern California says the tariffs on Canadian plywood have affected domestic prices as well - mills in the pacific northwest have increased their prices accordingly.

Dave, for a long time I had the same Ridgid and really liked it. However, the actuator arm for the guard bent, requiring replacement. It happened again and this time I was unable to get parts. I had...

Thanks for the reply. The main advantage I can see is that the system allows for dead accurate drawer slide holes front to back. I know you can do that with the Festool LR32 and their parallel...

Hi guys. Hope you are all staying safe. I have a large kitchen DIY project coming up and was thinking about getting the Schmitt 32mm boring system to expedite the cabinet building. Does anyone have...

Agree with Mike here. You can get the Sharkguard with a 4 inch port - does a great job.

Track saw.

Hi Jeff. I want to echo the "go used" chorus above. I recently went through the same decision process and ended up getting a used Grizzly g1023zx on Craigslist for about $400. The saw was in great...

Thanks, Ben. Good points.

I want to clarify - I have a riving knife installed. The choice is between the stock guides and featherboards, mainly to keep the work pressed to the table for consistency in rabbets and dadoes. Do...

Thanks, Rick. I found Dave Stanton's YouTube video on it. I am hoping to find someone on this forum with first-hand experience. I think I may just give it a try...

Hi Folks, newbie woodworker here. Just installed the Peachtree Uni-T fence on my table saw. Its a replacement fence face for the Unifence system and has a T-slot on the fence face. I was looking at...

I use the Kreg bench clamp modified with a larger washer for my Hammer K3 Winner. Works quite well and very stable.

I believe there’s an Italian sliding saw that has flesh-sensing technology that drops the blade but doesn’t damage the blade.
Requires pneumatic pressure for the safety mechanism. Forget who the...

I got the Shark ARK installed on my old Grizzly and have been very happy with it. Check it out - I think there’s a model for the Jet.

So I know I am a year late to this thread, but I recently installed the Shark Guard ARK on my 2003 Grizzly 1023zx. Great product and great service from Lee Styron.

Thanks Tim. As the owner of a K3 Winner and A3-31, I am sure I will have plenty of questions for you.

Thank you for posting this. I was wondering who would finally make such a product.

Thanks, Dave. I'll keep an eye out for the Chilean ply. Meanwhile looks like I will be trying to hunt down some birch ply at my local lumberyard.

Hi Elle, I have the Hammer A3-31 and it requires very little strength to move the table. It takes a while, as the table moves very little with each rotation, but it is smooth and nearly effortless.
