Post: RE: What are the odds?
I really like my Shark Gard, wouldn't be with out it. Use it on the vast majority of cuts and replace it immediately when the cut is done. It also gets most of the saw dust because it's connected to a...

Post: RE: Jet JWP15 DX.
Hey...thanks. I think you are probably correct on the price. If I get 8-900 it's still more than I paid for it. I'm afraid the Jet might be a kinda 1 off. Thank goodness it came with 4 sets of blades.

You did a nice job. It's amazing how long most things when you keep up the maintenance. My oldest tool is a 1955 Powermatic 12 inch planer. Cuts like a champ.

I agree with Lumber Yard...Shark Guard is great. They are great people to work with. He was having trouble keeping up with demand a while ago. Remember they are a small business but a really good one.

Think about the time and money it would take to just get it cutting. Might actually be cheaper to shoot it in the head.

The people at the Franklin Tennessee Woodcraft are great to work with. I was there Friday and you just couldn't ask for better. They even put up with my constant forgetting things.
