Shopsmith Forums

I have two different Shopsmith hoses, the original black ones and the newer semi-clear ones. It has been a few years since I did some measurements on them, but I was just surprised how much better performance I got with the Oneida hose. I think the ID is a bit larger for it and the interior is a smo...

I appreciate the response. I did see that post, but started skimming after pg 4, to be honest. It looks like the conclusion from the chart though is that a DC-6000 should outperform my 144 CFM wet/dry vac when I'm only using a single port. It certainly doesn't feel like that, though. Yeah, if you d...

This has actually been discussed quite A LOT here on this forum over the last several years. So, the original DC-3300 is an anemic dust collector. I have one and switched to using my ShopVac™ vacuum with HEPA filter bags, HEPA filter cartridge in it with a ClearVue Cyclones Mini CV-06 cyclone in fro...

I received word today that one of our very good contributors, edma194 (“Ed from Rhode Island”) passed away last weekend. I had the pleasure of meeting Ed a number of times - we bought some machines from each other, and socialized at last year’s Makers event at Shopsmith HQ. For some background on h...

Looks good. Can't wait to see the end result with the bench dog holes...

Scott,

Thanks. I appreciate it. I agree. Moms are as well.

JPG, Thanks. I appreciate it. Sorry, sarcasm probably wasn't the right word for me to use, but saying good natured jest doesn't really have a one word correspondence. My apologies. Yeah, I started the confusion when I tried to explain what I thought the OP meant and in my mind "dado through cut...

My next idea requires making a 1/4 inch deep dado about 3x1.5 inches square. I want to leave 1/4 inch protruding on each side, like a U shape. If it is determined that the original post is regarding a "stop dado", (aka: blind dado) perhaps he could refer to SS self-study guide. In the cur...

There is a U tube video of how to do a stopped dado on a table saw.

This might cause controversy here, but I do NOT consider that a safe tablesaw cut. Definitely not something a newbie like the OP should be trying IMHO.

Why is a discussion re through cut occurring? The OP said 1/4" (deep). Missing is the inability of a circular saw to cut a square corner. A circular saw cuts an arc with a plunge cut. JPG, What he describes, implies a plunge cut, which would be a no-no on a tablesaw, which is why I tried to qu...
