very nice...but that looks like about 1/3 of my shop floor space. However, I will say that Oneida makes good stuff. I have the Dust Cobra set up as a central vac and it really works.

Thanks Richard, that confirms what I found on a you tube video, I won't waste money on the 690 plunge base.

So the Toro has a failure rate of more than zero? that's too many. Orbitz sounds like the winner so far. [br][br]You have 5 separate timers!!

Have had good results just plunging my old 690 and proceeding, but today I have a precision task to do on the edge of sheet goods, (too big for the router table). I'm getting a little bobble on enteri...

Either method can work fine and not require a lot of sanding, and the hand tool guys will have a plane to make it even easier in solid wood. [br][br]I'd go with a router. Just need to get the right bi...

Glueup went well. Used Titebond Ultimate. It gave me enough time, about 10 minutes to assemble then bend all 4 plys at once. It takes a very light tack on contact, just a combination of suction and sl...

What pressure and flow, and how deep under water is the outlet? With black plastic sprinkler line you should be able to go to 1" without breaking the bank.

Post: What Glue to Use

Have a glueup that needs more open time. It's a laminated bend that's going to take about 10 minutes to lay up before I bend it, so it can't tack up in that time. It's just wood to wood and not highly...

Plan to make 25,000 work. Seal the air leaks first. If you can live without one of those big doors and cover it with blue foam, it will help a lot.

How about running just the air instead of electricity. 1/2" tubing is cheap and no codes to worry about. Bury it any convenient depth and just laugh if you hit it with the lawn mower or backhoe.
