    power carving - foot pedal versus dial for speed control

    I have a cheap import Foredom knock off hanging motor rotary carver. The foot pedal was basically junk, bet I reshaped the sheet metal so it wouldn't keep coming apart and I insulated it because it was delivering a minor shock at times (yeah, I know you get what you pay for). What makes that...

    shellac sealer versus top coat

    I have used dewaxed shellac for years, mostly as a sealer but also as a top coat sometimes. Recently I was convinced (feel free to offer debate on the point) that for top coats the natural waxy shellac is better and for items that I am trying to finish "traditionally", it is more correct. So I...

    Powermatic PM209HH versus Grizzly G0454Z

    I currently have the Powermatic PM209HH 20" planer that I bought used from RTR services. At the moment, I can say I hate it. The reason I hate it is that it has not been working correctly. It has around 3 inches of snipe on each end and the boards don't feed straight. Sooooo, I start...

    Tiny chucks - MT/arbor versus threaded

    Note to Mike - If you think my lathe is cute, wait until you see these chucks. :gar-Bi I have not succumbed yet; I am still focused on the small stuff. The chucks I am looking at would be used for spindle turning and usually with a live center on the other end. I am quickly discovering that...

    Bandsaw replacement versus upgrades

    I received the Iturra Design catalog in the mail last week and have been thinking about some upgrades for my 14" Ridgid bandsaw. Riser block, guides, quick release tension, etc. adds up in a hurry! With all of the new bandsaws, 14" and larger, is it best to just upgrade to one of the newer...

    Dimensional Lumber versus yellow pine?

    I'm going to build a fold down work table against the wall of my garage to give myself a more stable work surface than the folding tables I now use. It won't be anything fancy, Melamine over plywood top and a couple of fold out "fence gate" style legs. I have the plans drawn out, and was...

    Delta DJ-20 versus Grizzly

    :eusa_doh: This may be an old question but I can't find a reference to it. Has anyone used both the Grizzly G490 / Shop-Fox and the Delta DJ-20. Are there any differences that would make one better then the other. Do not let the cost be an influence, I'm looking for quality of use and long term...
