What other machine surface can you pile junk on? I've got a tricked out Hammond Glider for 90% of my crosscuts but when I need the RAS, its there for me.  Before the Hammond, the RAS did almost all o...

Try trimming the ends of a 20" wide web frame on your plastic-bodied chop saw.  You'll quickly see the value of a radial arm saw.

Big drawers should have stout sides and backs.  1/2" thick is great for little drawers, but 5/8 to 3/4 thickness would be best.  For a species recommendation, consider something hard enough that won't...

That's a pretty common switch.  It may be that a well stocked Ace Hardware may have a replacement.  You're right, the bigger double pole switches are too big.  You may end up having to go into the DC ...
