dado sets - 11 replies I have been looking at dado sets this week. I actually ordered the Grizzley H777 set for $50. I’m not sure what’s going on with Griz but they have an incredible back order list including this set – not in till July 13. I was wondering what other LJs recommend for “inexpensive” carbide tipped dado sets. I looked ... |

Grizzley left vs right tilt table saws - 14 replies I ordered a new Griz 0444 table saw that was a right tilt table saw. They are back ordered until the end of June (on Thursday, they were back ordered till May 15!!). Today, I called and they can ship out a left tilt G0575 – same table saw just with left tilt. So I asked them the difference (I know the obvious difference!) and Customer S... |

Uses for Ipe - 11 replies My neighbor gave me some ipe wood. He used it for a deck railing. I am not really interested in building a deck…or a railing. Can Ipe be used for anything else…like cutting boards (or parts of cutting boards) or band saw boxes or other indoor woodworking projects? It is hard as hell, dense and heavy. Will it ruin my new bandsaw ... |

How do you get that waxy stuff off turning blanks? - 8 replies I bought a turning bowl blank to try my hand at a band saw box. It came with a covering of a waxy substance that the clerk at Woodcraft said was used to prevent checking and drying of the wood. It is now time to get that stuff off. I guess I could just scrape it off or sand it off (I think it would totally gum up any sandpaper pretty quickly)... |

Rip cutting maple without the burn - 32 replies I have several 6-8 foot maple boards that need about 1/2 inch ripped off. I know (from experience) that cutting maple can cause burns. Since I am a novice at this, I was wondering what, if any, the trick is to doing it without burning. These were expensive pieces and I really really need them nice and clean. The boards are a hail over 3/4... |

Leigh Super 12" Dovetail Jig - warning re defect! - 1 reply I just started putting together my Leigh Super 12 and thought I was losing my mind…there were no holes to insert the T bolts as per the instructions. Called Rockler who recommended that I call Leigh. As soon as I told the person from Leigh what model I had, there was an audible sigh….Seems a bunch of them went out without holes in ... |

Another dust question - 11 replies Hi,I was wondering if anyone used a Shop Vac to control dust. I have a small garage/workshop and I hook my Shop Vac to each tool as I use it (I know, I know…inefficient, but what the heck!). It actually works pretty well (when I remember to turn on the vac before the tool!!) but I could go broke on bags for the Shop Vac. To be honest, I... |
