    Dust Collection -- Tin or PVC

    Changed my tune

    I am going to say that the truth is somewhere in between the two extremes of cheapskate, junky or worn out tools - and the best of the best. There are tools that are well built and good value - capable of producing fine work....*IF* the operator has the developed skills to recognize the...

    Warning on calling Rikon Tech Support -

    I just tried their number - did not get any message like you described. Possible a mis-dial? Or maybe a temporary hi-jack of their number? What I can tell you from dealing with Rikon for several years is that they have always been available during normal business hours by phone. In fact, their...

    19" Texas Cedar Elm Platter

    Thank you Henry. When I get a piece of wood this attractive - I want to make the most of it - and not put too much of myself in it. Kind of odd sounding perhaps....but I hope you know what I mean baby that.:)

    19" Texas Cedar Elm Platter

    Thank you Will. I struggled a little with design on this one, because when the wood has so much to draw your attention....do you want to distract from that?
