    When to delete threads

    In the description of a moderator it said somewhere that one of their jobs was to remove threads that had become dead. My question is, when would you consider it dead? A thread from 6 months ago that nobody has replied on in several months may still be helpful to someone looking for a certain...

    Milwaukee Nail Guns

    I was just looking at the new Milwaukee nailers. From what I've seen they are copies of the Ridgid nailers, which makes sense, considering Milwaukee and Ridgid are now owned by the same companies. The brad nailer looks nice, but I don't know how good it would be compared to my PC gun. I can't...

    Its been a while!

    I would just like to say sorry to all the members who have posted in this portion of the forum. As moderator, I try to visit the site at least once a day, and usually more. However, for the past two weeks I have been swamped with work and computer problems, so I have been unable to get to the...

    Shop Safety

    I got a real wake-up call today while working in my school shop. I was on planer duty, standing beside our new Grizzly 15", adjusting the height and controlling the speed. A kid had been ripping a 1x4 on the tablesaw, and somehow badly cut his finger. I was turned the other way when this...

    RO sanders

    I'm in the market for a new random orbit palm sander. I currently have the 5" Ryobi VS, and I would like something that is a little easier on my hand (the vibration is a little on the excessive side). I've been told to go with the Porter Cable Quick Sand, but I like the looks of the new Bosch...

    Rockwell Lathe

    Does anyone have any experience with Rockwell lathes? I am trying to buy one from the school system, it appears to be an 80's model with the seperate motor cabinet and leg on the right side. I believe it has a 40" capacity between centers. I'm expecting to give $20-$40 dollars for it, so I...

    New Hitach miter saw

    Has anyone seen the new Hitachi 12" sliding miter saw? They say the rails don't stick out of the back like the ones on all the other saws. I looked it over very quickly at Lowes the other day, but somebody mounted it in a position where you couldn't test the slide mechanism out. It also has a...

    Ridgid 12v X2 cordless drill

    Well I figured I'd start this review section off with a good tool. I bought the Ridgid 12v X2 back when they went on sale for $90. It comes with a plastic kit box; 30 minute, dual port, fan cooled charger; two batteries and an auxillary side handle. Let me start with the charger. It's amazing...

    Make a Table!

    I noticed the latest issue of Workbench magazine had an article about a contest they were starting. It was simple, build a table using one sheet of plywood. The catch was there could be no cutoffs, just sawdust (so the whole sheet of plywood must be used). They said edgebanding (solid wood or...

    Well I guess its my turn....

    My name is Ryan Sellers, I'm 15 years old, and I have been interested in woodworking for about 5 years now. My first "shop" was a small corner of our garage I quickly filled with a Delta benchtop tablesaw, DeWalt mitersaw, Duracraft scrollsaw and Daytona drill press, as well as hand power tools...
