Sawstop Industrial Cabinet Saw

Sawstop Industrial Cabinet Saw

17 days ago by Tablesawed | 25 comments »

What can be said about this saw that hasn’t already been said by the likes of Charles Neil, Woodworking magazines in their shootouts and reviews, and even the Discovery Channel? Its safety technologies are without peer. We all know that any tool can be injurious if attention or focus is lost and that even the best guards won’t fully protect us. I’d like to approach this review from another angle: the saw as its own instrument. That said, we can begin with the shipping....

Another GRIZZLY

Another GRIZZLY

18 days ago by khop | 5 comments »

OK I couldn’t help myself. When I ordered the G1071 OSS sander, I went ahead and got this one too. Might as well round out the total order to a grand right? I had always wanted to get a larger beefyer belt and disc sander. I still have the old Delta 6×36 which will be used for pencil sharpening. lol. Now on to the pros and cons. Pros, IT”S A GRIZZLY, Heavy and very stable, strong and definately an upgrade from the Delta. It has good dust collection. Cast iron disc and tilt...

Another Great Grizzly Product

Another Great Grizzly Product

18 days ago by khop | 12 comments »

I finally ordered the new OSS from Grizzly. As pictured, it was very heavy and once again, my electric hoist came to the rescue. At around 300 pounds, it is built like a tank. The unit came well packaged with thick styrofoam around all the pieces. There was ample amounts of the famous goo on most of the exposed metal parts. A little mineral spirits and a cloth rag cut through it qiuckly. I was fortunate to have the hoist to lift the top into position as well as lift the whole unit onto the mo...

Homemade veneer flattening solution

Homemade veneer flattening solution

18 days ago by RBWoodworker | 6 comments »

I recently purchased a veneer pump, and got some veneer along with the deal.. but the veneer that I got, was rolled in a protective paper and left for who know’s how long.. it took the curve of the roll well and would not lay flat no matter what I did.. I put it between two platens and left it for 3 weeks and that did not do the trick…SO.. Lee Jesberger has this solution on his website prowoodworkingtips.com and it consist of 1 gallon of water..8 oz. of pure glycerin which is avai...

Trend Airsheild, My lungs thank you

Trend Airsheild, My lungs thank you

20 days ago by Andrew | 10 comments »

I have been on the fence about buying one of these for a year now. Christmas is on its way, and Andy has some work ahead of him to provide family and freinds with the gifts they deserve. There is a lot of wood dust that is going to be produced, and I don’t need to store it in my lungs this year. Anyway, this is a positive air preasure filtrating system. Means it constantly blows filtered air over your face so dirty wood dusty air does not enter. It works well. The battery will last...

A Very Mini Shoulder Plane

A Very Mini Shoulder Plane

20 days ago by 3fingerpat | 16 comments »

This was a total impulse purchase, when I got the ad I couldn’t pass it up, if you are into hand planes, then you know what I mean ;o) Last week at the WW Show in SoCal, the LV rep had one and let me try it out. I knew it was going to be small, but Wow, it is very mini. The Norris Style adjuster makes setting the blade quick and easy. In use, I found it somewhat difficult to use on tenon shoulders due to it’s very small size. It worked better when the tenon was shorter than...

Perfect Sized Marking Guage

Perfect Sized Marking Guage

21 days ago by 3fingerpat | 13 comments »

When I first saw this Marking Guage by LV, I did not hesitate to purchase it. This is exactly what I had been wanting. It never fails that when I am using my single sided Marking Guage, I always forget to mark all my boards before changing the marking guage setting. Trying to go back and get the exact setting from the previous setting is almost impossible. So when I saw this marking guage I had no doubt this would be just what the doctor ordered. I especially love the small pocket size, ...

Paul Beebe #11 Carving Knife for Lee Valley

21 days ago by just_adam | 5 comments »

Hello and this review carries my initial impressions of a fine carving knife made by Paul Beebe for Lee Valley Tools in Canada. At the time, it cost me about $33USD and presently it is in there on line catalog at this address: http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=2&p=31085&cat=1,130,43332,44073&ap=1 I’ve used all sorts of knives in my meandering about the wood. Opinels, Ken Onions, single edge razors, XActos…James Krenov wrote a great passage about using k...

Easy router dadoes with DadoMax

Easy router dadoes with DadoMax

21 days ago by Peter O | 8 comments »

The DadoMax makes easy, accurate router dados. Setup is easy and it makes tight-fitting dados regardless of material thickness. The DadoMax is constructed of high-quality materials, and has a large enough surface that there is no worry of the router tipping. It comes in a metal case and includes replacements parts for items that might be easily lost. The DadoMax adjusts to a variety of straightedges, and you can buy the DadoMax without a straightedge if you already have one. I only gave...

Screw-Outs Don't Work

Screw-Outs Don't Work

21 days ago by papadan | 19 comments »

http://www.craftsman.com/shc/s/p_10155_12602_00952154000P?keyword=52154&sLevel=0 LOML saw Bob Vs commercial and bought me a set a couple years ago. Today, 1/2” wood screws holding cabinet door hinges that have stripped out phillips heads. Guess what, Bob V can kiss my A$$! These things are supposed to bite into the screw and back it out, all they do is spin in the stripped head. Even tried an impact driver and nothing! This system won’t let me give -5 stars or I would!
