If your needs are so low it might be worth using other ways to do the job. A hand plane can do a lot of work and still be fit in a drawer for example. If you are into just edge jointing that can be done on a router table or even a table saw with jig. Another option is to get a something like this: ...

Well, don't think I'm doing anything special. I use a $.69 synthetic brush and slop on the glue rather liberally, then use the mini-flocker tube to poof the threads on. Have never done more than one coat so not sure how to do that. If I get some time, I'll take pictures of some drawers I've done. Ma...

So, I'm thinking it would be nice to have a jointer as I have some projects coming up where it would be nice to have matching edges as best as possible. The question is this: Considering I won't use it a lot and the cost of the SS Jointer vs. the cost of a small bench jointer. Which is the better pu...

I've recently started using the DonJer product for flocking the insides of small drawers and boxes and I love it! Here's a link: http://www.woodcraft.com/search2/search.aspx?query=flocking Couple of tips based on my experience, YMMV: 1. Use a heavy coat of the adhesive. 2. Wear a dust mask or filter...

I've had one of the original Trend headgears and it's been a great buy! I solved the battery problem by going to Radio Shack and grabbing a 3 AA cell holder, some AA NiCads, a plug that fit my mask and a charger. Much cheaper than the Trend extra batteries and I always have a fresh pack on hand.

Or just buy a Mac and solve the problem. I gave up on Windows years ago when OS 10 came out. Never going back! Essentially it's Linux anyway so easier to understand.

Having trouble lifting the PowerPro down or up to the way tubes was a problem for me. Also fitting the headstock into the padded box for shipping. I made a simple cradle sling - It helped immensely!!! No need to lift on the spindle/ PowerPro Sling.jpg This grip isn't so much the issue although I do...

UPDATE! :) Returned Jim McCann's call this morning. He seems to be the master Headstock engineer. Great guy, very concerned about customer satisfaction, gave me a wonderful education on how that part of the headstock works and the changes from the old to the new set up. New bearings, etc. due to muc...

You can make a short video and put it in YouTube or Facebook May be SS can also see it there and determine if it's normal Good luck Thought about that but how do I give you the "feel" of the vibration? Guess I could hook a bobblehead to it and then compare the bobble with the old headstoc...

this generally happens to me right after a good waxing of the way tubes! I have a 2x4 that I use for support that clears that problem right up.

It also sometimes happens with dull bits or drilling at the wrong speed.
