I built a compost bin out of 1 x 6 and 2 x 4 pt. Simple design. Three foot cube. Six or eight brads at each connection. As I moved it around, it started to come apart. So, some exterior screws installed and it's solid as a rock.

So, my question is, what are the main jobs for an 18 gauge cordless nailer? ]]> wsommariva http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f12/cordless-nailer-love-19151/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f12/information-post-former-19136/ Sun, 05 Sep 2010 01:16:17 GMT I have recently purchased a Auto A1 Post Former for making laminex brench tops.

The ripping went fine but when it came time to cross cut the 8' pieces, it took us a bit to figure out how to approach it. The wood was too wide for the front of the table and the miter gauge. We put the gauge on the back side of the wood and started to feed. Everything was going great until the miter gauge hit the outfeed and we managed to bind the blade. I shut the saw down and we moved the miter to the front side and pulled the wood back a bit. Luckily when I turned the saw back on, it faulted. The blade was still bound in the wood. Thank you saw stop for this additional feature as we both could have gotten seriously hurt!

As for the cross cuts, we ended up using my sliding miter saw. It took two passes each time but was a much safer way to go. I have ordered some long straight edges so next time I'll do the initial breakdown of sheet goods with the circular saw. ]]> j stuart http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f12/saw-stop-unexpected-safety-feature-19132/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f12/steel-city-hybrid-table-saw-19131/ Sat, 04 Sep 2010 08:48:47 GMT It doesn't look like my new detached garage / workshop is going to happen any sooner than 5 years from now. I really wanted a 3 hp cabinet saw, but don't have the 220 in my attached garage.

My cheap craftsman contractor table saw is attrocious on power and precision (the fence sucks). I also don't like the motor hanging off the back, because it pushes it farther from the wall (important since I park my truck in the garage). The open design also is a nighmare on saw dust cleanup.

Since I have a buyer for my table saw, I am thinking about getting a hybrid table saw. It has to be much better than my Craftsman. I do not have 220 V and am not sure how much it would be to install it in my garage. If it weren't a problem, I would look at the 220 V saws.

If I go with a hybrid saw, I am looking at the Steel City model, because it has cabinet mounted trunions. Any experience with this saw?

How about the granite top versus cast iron?

Basically a horizontal shaper specifically designed to make multiple box joints.
I am currently using a table saw jig to cut box joints, but I need to cut costs and a Hauncher would do the trick. I don't need a large industrial unit but rather a 110V unit with a 10" capacity.

Instead of buying a $30 fence guide for my Freud Plunge router, I made one from 1/4 inch hardboard really works well. BUT, I noticed that when I grasp the router and gently shake it, the router sees to wiggle maybe on the tubes. At leas that's my view of it. I don't believe it's the base I made. I assume this must be normal. The mortises I made look really good.

I thought Canadians were friendly.
I made dial guage fence alignment checker. When I run it along the fence it appears that the fence is a pretty good match on either end. In the center it dips about 5/100ths. Is this a problem? I want to know partly becuase I would like to peel off the formica covering and add a better side piece with a channel on top. thank you. ]]> sussertown http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f12/aligning-table-saw-19096/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f12/contractor-style-cabinet-saw-19087/ Thu, 02 Sep 2010 02:58:33 GMT What are the major differences?

Just one problem. I do not see how to adjust the lower guides. The book mentioned micro adjustments but the lower guides do not have them for anything but the thrust bearing and the placement of the bearings related to the depth of the gullets on the blade. I can not see any way to adjust the distance from the sides of the blades. Does anyone have any answers? ]]> jfarmer4 http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f12/tuning-craftsman-12-bandsaw-19081/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f12/best-miter-saw-buck-19071/ Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:27:35 GMT Well as it goes, my sliding miter table on my table saw sucks. I can't cut a strait angle on it, needs new guides, has a ton of slop, etc. However the fence is parallel and the motor has plenty of power, so I would like to keep it for just for ripping.

I want a miter saw specifically for cutting accurate angles. It needs to be a compound unit, but not necessarily a sliding unit (I still have the table saw if need be). I have a big molding project as well as other furniture projects and accuracy is what I am looking for. My budget is $150 to $200, from what I can tell, there is a good selection.

Give me a few suggestions! ]]> cheese9988 http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f12/best-miter-saw-buck-19071/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f12/does-exist-19069/ Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:59:05 GMT I am looking for an easier way to cut panels of Plexiglas and other thin flimsy stuff when making picture frames.

Running them over the table saw is kind of a pain in the rear because the flex so much.

My thinking is a plunge saw but I think a $500 dewalt is overkill. Do they make something like a plunge saw that is on a smaller level?

I searched around with no avail so I'm starting a new post. If it has been posted before please direct me in the right direction ;)

I just replaced my Delta 10" table saw motor and checked my blade for alignment. It heels to the right by .014". When I installed the motor it had 2 alignment pins and 3 bolts. I don't think that loosening the bolts and adjusting will work. Does anyone here know how to adjust this saw?? Model #36-600

Thanks in advance..heading out to the shop to see if I can figure this out... ]]> VB Woodworker http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f12/tuning-delta-10-tablesaw-19061/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f12/band-saws-around-300-00-a-19059/ Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:51:13 GMT Are there any decent band saws for around $300.There are some but are they any good?Itchy Are there any decent band saws for around $300.There are some but are they any good?Itchy ]]> Itchy Brother http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f12/band-saws-around-300-00-a-19059/
