OK. I, for one, am intensely curious as to the outcome of this project. I'm not an overly cautious guy, myself, but nevertheless have waited most all day to see if our much more experienced members might send in a full brigade of safety Nazis to save you from yourself. So far, so good. It could be a...

My tool strategy seems to be working out nicely with the better half. The used 520 purchase was discussed and approved, sorta quid pro quo for a couple of goodies that she wanted and got. The sub-$50 bargains from Craigslist are mere targets of opportunity .. those are not worth elevating to the lev...

That's a really nice bench! I'm still making do with a way-too-light-duty one that I built to make RC airplanes -- back when you had to worry about crashing them into tall dinosaurs. Excellent job on the YouTube production, too. The production quality is well above average. Although it was almost ma...

Wattage is a electrical power thingey. Lumens is a light brightness thingey. With incandescent lamps(light bulbs) the higher wattage ones are brighter. Hence we historically have used the wattage to describe brightness(incorrectly). Fluorescent lights have always been brighter/watt than tungsten fi...

Ok, what else can go wrong. As I was going to get the SS 510 For Josh a kid rear ended me at a stop sign. I can't get my tailgate down. I had to return home last night and schedule the pickup for Sunday when Josh will be driving down. I just went out to open up the garage to work on my new scroll s...

Hey Ed: I have been most impressed with your knowledge, eloquence, and obviously very high intelligence on this forum. And then just today, I saw that a SS overhead pin router had come up for sale in my parts. When I Googled it, the only useful information in the entire world had come from, guess wh...

I did see a nice 510 for sale last year on Craigslist, at a place benefitting Habitat for Humanity. Good machine, good cause, and I would have bought it had I been able to make it over to Dayton in the next week or two. Unfortunately for Habitat, a 2005 Model 520 in my neck of the woods came up on e...

I just looked at the original picture. The slit is too long, the inner tube should be solid adjacent to where the set screw makes contact. It is no wonder it squeezes the tube onto the blade with little pressure applied. Oh, contraire! My jigsaw appears to be exactly the same vintage as ertigas', a...
