Doug, I'm all for people arguing with convictions on the forums. It's far better than seeing little discussions that are happening across forums. Moderators are killing their forums either without ...

Very nice. Since it's pine, did you need to pretreat it with a conditioner? Any pics to share on the backboard and the drawers? Simon

It isn't just here. Most woodworking forums (I mean moderators) avoid heated arguments -- even if it is not political or ideological in nature. Arguments turn some people off. Don't rock the boat, bab...

I suppose our definitions of alternative are far apart. The feeder can only do ripping (but not cross cutting any smaller or narrow piece, for example), meaning it can only protect the fingers in ...

Post: RE: strange behavior by my SawStop tablesaw

How in the world can a feeder be a substitute for or an alternative to the finger-saving technology? The feeder is only suitable for repetitive ripping. What about cross cutting? Using the table sa...

I wish my table saw had a bigger, not smaller, top so I could reduce the need to use the foldable outfeed table. I sometimes use the top for clamping or as a dead flat workbench space. So the bigger t...

See? The SS debate will go on...even after the day when the patents run out and practically all new saws will come with the finger-saving technology.

Those who think the sawstop is a great deal will come continue to buy it; those think the sawstop is an unnecessary technology will continue to avoid it. End of story. The disagreement on the sawst...

Also critical is not to use oil that can cause self combustion. I use 3 in one oil as suggested by Paul Sellers, which helps prevent rust, too. I like to use the wide mouth cans as I can draw a small ...
