Post: RE: Recommend a Small Compressor Please.
I suggest picking the California Air Tools compressor that meets your volume needs.  They are hard to beat for the money and produce very little noise.

Post: RE: What do you think about palm sanders?
For years (actually decades) I hated pam sanders, they were slow and transferred far too much vibration.  I then got a Festool DTS and later a RTS and was amazed at how well they worked and how little...

  0 Thread: Grizzly 10" Wet Grinder Kit versus Tormek
Post: RE: Grizzly 10" Wet Grinder Kit versus Tormek
The bottom line here is the Grizzly copy is not in the same class as the Tormek, however, you can expect that from a machine that is less than 20% of the price of another.  If your expectations are in...

If you are willing to spend the money on a Tormek don't even consider the options.  The Tormek precision and build quality is in another league.  The low-end Sheppachs that Grizzly and Wen sell are ri...

Post: RE: advice and maybe a small gloat
One thing I forget to address is exactly how small is your shaper?  I tend to think of a small shaper as 3hp but if you have one of the really tiny shapers a 1hp feeder may make it unstable when spun ...

While you are thinking about the Grizzly you might want to keep your eyes open for a good Powermatic 30a.  You will likely see some priced higher than the Grizzly but you might get lucky.
