Very sorry.

Thank you for reminding us all that its safety first.

I recalled seeing this shopsmith jointer accident awhile back.

I spent a few weeks mucking my way through a replacement router table. The old one needed to go - as you can see. It was part of an old office desk. With no pin/ no safety for rails/featherboards/fencing etc it was used rarely due to the shear terror of it. $matches[2] I followed this design which s...

Yea-the kickback woke me up. Of course, this is the ONE time in months that the wife is standing nearby-yet confirming again for her that I'm a danger :) For inserts I have seen : Metallic, red painted standard saw inserts ...I assume these are from SS-i have a few of these. Plastic, red inserts (th...

Yea- I think there is some definition clarity needed. 1. Wheel- hard metal circle 2. Tires - generally 2 types available from SS. These mount first onto the wheel with some adhesive. https://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/catalog/bandsawtire.htm There's the black material, and the "red" ureth...

I was ripping some narrow material and got a kickback. Just taking a narrow strip off the edge of a board. Of course I didn't see exactly what happened, but based on the ZCI damage, I think the board lifted at the back and was then promptly fired, angled down into the ZCI and blew the hole in it. Ha...

Looking at your thermometer outside your window for a couple years doesn't tell you anything about the global average. Just because its sunny and 75 outside your door, doesn't mean the whole planet is sunny and 75. There is plenty of verifiable data from reputable sources supporting the observation ...

As usual, I do a bunch of digging and end up going in a different direction. I ordered this one...which seems to have a lot of the features of those above at a lower price point with some added benefits. https://masscaproducts.com/ 1. Aluminum body rather than plastic 2. USA made-small family run bu...

The Kreg systems seem quite popular. I have come across 2 others which seem to get good reviews. Porter Cable 560-which if you follow the link-has been discontinued. https://www.portercable.com/products/power-tools/woodworking-tools/dovetail-and-fastening/quikjig-pockethole-joinery-system/560 And th...
