I have a similar situation with my 6" Grizzly 0452 jointer and my DC3300. My solution was to use the DC3300's 2.5" hose between the two machines with a 2.5" to 4" adapter at the jointer's dust chute. It isn't ideal, but it works well enough. I just dressed a bunch of rough sawn b...

I might be too late to the party to offer suggestions, but here goes... 1. Don't experiment with too many different Festool tools or you'll find yourself buying them. I know the prices are way, way up there compared to about everything else but you'll find all kinds of reasons to rationalize the pur...

No argument from me about Stihl making some great saws.

But you can't go wrong with Echo either. They don't seem to enjoy the name recognition of Stihl, but they make great products across the board from saws, to string trimmers, to drills, pumps, etc.

Echo all the way.

Thanks Guys. Progress will be slow; if for no other reason that it takes me an eternity to get a project moving. It's a riveted hull. Lund really believes in rivets and sinks them everywhere. So in addition to having them on seams, they're also holding the seats in place, the spray rails on, etc. Th...

You guys seem to have such a wide breadth of knowledge I thought I'd ask thi question on this forum... I'd like to freshen up the exterior paint on a 20 year old Lund boat. It's spent it's entire life outside and largely in the water since it previously was a rental boat at a lake in northern Minnes...

I tried to bump the average back down...I'm 36.

I used to live in South Bend which wasn't too far. And I LOVE to fish. In fact, the last summer I was living there I had a three month spell between my old job and moving to central Indiana that all I did was fish. Almost every day I dropped my boat in the St. Joe and was continually amazed at how m...

Wow, thanks Dennis!

Looks like I'll have to improvise a guard to make this work. To eBay!

I'm guessing I have an incomplete manual...mine ends at page 54 and resumes at 63. Looks like pages were cut out. Go figure.

Your follow up was VERY helpful. THANK YOU!

Yesterday on a whim I picked up what seems to be a very nice Deluxe Sawsmith 2000 table saw/radial arm saw combination. I have read about these for awhile and thought it might a nice addition to the SS madness. And the price was right. Anyway, I haven’t used it yet since it needs a bit of cleanup an...

I am by no means a tool expert, but I do have opinions. :cool: A few years ago after I got into this woodworking silliness, I shopped around for a bandsaw to complement my shop. I ended up buying Grizzly’s G0555 and have been very happy. It’s a 14”, 1-hp saw with aluminum wheels and a nice table. Th...
