    I use a Bosch 1617. I have a home built router table and some kind of generic insert. Adjusting the bit height is a breeze with the Bosch, even if it has to be done below the table top. On my...

    I use a Tormek for the wife’s turning tools and to grind an edge on planes and chisels. I use water stones to hone the edge on the straight blades and polish the backs.

    Well, I guess that answers that question! I appreciate the feedback — it gives me different ideas about how to go about collecting dust. Right now I wear a mask when using the shop vac. It’d be nice...

    I have a 16" bandsaw and have been contemplating a smaller one to go with it. I keep a resaw blade on the 16" and it would be nice to be able to cut tighter curves without changing the blade.

    It's too bad that a router like the Bosch Colt doesn't come with the industry standard router base to accept bushings and at least an 8mm collet. With 1.25 HP and light weight it seems ideal for...

    Anyone use two routers, one with the dovetail bit and another with the straight bit, for making through dovetails on a Leigh jig? I'm using a Super 12 not the D4R. The manual recommends not using...

    Thanks for the replies, I think I'll give it a try with some of my 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 bit. Most of the time I'm planing stock to fit so a few thousandths won't make a difference. I bought a new 3/4...
