    Dewalt Plunge Router DW616 complaints

    The spring action in the plunge is so strong that the locking mechanism will sometimes un-engage and come flying back up. I've eaten into several templates this way. Its also just alarming to have this thing lunge out of the plunge back at you while still cutting. I sold all my old porter...

    narrow spokeshave blade sharpener

    it seems like i'm not the only one that stares at the narrow spokeshave blades that come in a Caleb James shave or the "make your own" kits by various outlets. if there is No microbevel, then i can make do setting the blade on the bevel and use the elbow grease to sharpen. not the most fun...

    Resawing Observations

    I've been using the Lennox Bimetal blade sold by Woodcraft bands, now Union Saw, for years. Typically i'm getting a 1/2 inch blade with 3 TPI. Its a quite large kerf for a bandsaw blade but would last quite a long time. Being a 1/2 inch blade meant I could still do a lot of the everyday bandsaw...

    Sanding Chamfers

    Why can't you buy / why don't they make.....

    Vertical Belt sanders wider than 6 inches? I've had a 12 inch disc sander which functions much the same but effectively is only 6 inches wide, when using in combo with the table. the circular motion has its disadvantages at times. I have an edge sander, also 6 inches wide. in general this...
