Post: RE: Random Orbital Sander

When I was using my Dewalt sander today I noticed I use 2 hands. One on the throat of the sander and the other holding the vac hose and power cord. I would probably use 2 hands on this one. I can't th...

John, if you're recommending it I'm all in. Does it come with the 5 inch disk or the 6 inch disk? Does the kit include both? thanks Gary

I'm looking to upgrade from my $59 Dewalt Ros. I'm looking for a quieter one. I have a Fein Vac coming to cut down on that noise. I was also looking at the Bosch $229 Model # ROS65VC-6 if I can't find...

I would've guessed that SS had patented the flesh sensing technology. As far as the two saws. The Bosch is over $1400 I believe so pretty close in price to the SS. Plus the SS contractor has many more...

A couple years ago the yoke in my Stanley #5 Handplane broke. In the ensuing time I bought Wood River #4, #5, #6, and #7 handplanes. So the other week I sent that little yoke back to Stanley and they ...

$60-70 extra for 16/4 over 8/4 is not a big deal for me. You have to understand I hate glueups. I already have some of the 16/4 board. I know some of you don't mind. We're not talking that many board ...

The 8/4 maple is only .25 a board foot cheaper. I already have a 6 foot by 7.5 inch 4 inch thick piece of cherry. I like the visual of the cherry.
