Elem7 posted:On that subject would anyone here recommend against buying a Tormek for woodworking and general edge(kitchen knives, axes etc.) sharpening? Guess it's a matter of budget. They do what they do very well. At quite a premium. Keep in mind, as with most power tools, the sticker cost and the "now it can do everything I need" cost are 2 very different things. The jigs cost quite a bit.

I've been using a corded drill for years. I justttt got my first set. Never had an impact driver, but goddamn this thing is awesome. The drill rules too. Big thumbs up on the Makita 18v set. Came with 2 batteries too. I built some steps, re-did some shop shelves, and set up some other random poo poo.

Super Waffle posted:Hey guys, I have a corded Makita 5" ROS that I love and has always performed great. But lately I seem to get a lot of tingling in my arms after 5-10 minutes of use. I know excessive sander use can cause nerve damage from the vibrations, but I wouldn't call my use excessive. Can anyone recommend a sander with less vibration/better grip isolation? This sounds uncomfortable. Have you tried gloves?

Sure, I'll order a makita track saw new. What a treat! Instead, what I got, was a very used saw in beat up Christmas-wrapping-paper-torn box, with a burned up blade. Im keeping the batteries. Go gently caress yourself, Amazon.

While installing a bearing to my cutter head on my jointer, trying to get a new Shelix head on, I put too much pressure on the bearing housing and snapped it in half. Too much liberal application of the swing press and a hollow, deep socket to get it seated. I'm a loving idiot and very disappointed. It's been a silly few weeks.

Rutibex posted:If you need chisels and sharpening stuff you should get the Amazon Basics wood chisel set. It comes with a sharpening stone and guide, I ended up getting this because it was cheaper than just buying a sharpening jig on its own: This is a great start. Can recommend. If you're just getting into this, worst case is you peter off and have working chisels. If you get into it a lot more, now you have your beater chisels!

Quick update on this: I got hosed over by infinite back-order on the parts site I used. They never bothered telling me my item would never ship. Ever. Hell, they haven't replied to my requests for info. So, plan B. Used, beat up, rusted cutterhead from ebay. Worked like a charm. My jointer is now tuned and cuts like a dream. I've filled my 30gal dust collector twice since in milling up a dinner table-worth of walnut and I couldn't be more pleased.

I'm not on the up-and-up on 220v vs 110v for tools that can be wired for either. I have a jointer that I could rewire for 220v. Besides the "you're asking, which means you're going to kill yourself by playing with electricity", what are some other pros of one vs the other?

I. M. Gei posted:It wasn’t a power tool — and I wasn’t even going to put actual blades on it, just some rubber cutouts where the blades would go (I don’t even know where I’d get blades for something like this) — but it was something that would sound incredibly stupid if I told you what it was, especially now. Was it a spanking machine? I bet it was a spanking machine. To be fair, I support your spanking machine. Sorry you're getting poo poo on, broski. As others said, communication is key, but I'd like to chip in and say you're on the tool forum. People here tend to discuss things in a more technical way so it will pay dividends to consider that in your post. Perhaps "Spinning death wheel" could have been "rotary spank drum" or "rubberized clown-glove rear end sanding cylinder". I mean, you mentioned it wasn't a power tool, perhaps add manual to that as well. "A manual manual rump adjudicator" might be a tad over the top though.

McSpergin posted:That's not specifically what I'm trying to say and that's probably on my wording, I'm trying to get at something like "if you're talking about building something you're calling a spinning death wheel and have no prior experience building it, maybe don't build a spinning death wheel". You can absolutely learn the other stuff first but I'm trying to tell this dude something that can kill you easily isn't a good start. Start by finding out what you don't know and then figure that out, although I'm curious to know what he's trying to achieve with rubber and wood now based in his posts Do you have a plan or some pics? I'm trying to source something similar and am having trouble.

A router for what? It's a motor with a hole on the end. Slap it into a router table and it should be fine. The ergonomics of lovely old routers are where I tend to find most issues. To clarify: Don't get this to do trim. Get this if you want something beefy and stationary or you're flattening a slab/cutting channels in poo poo.

Alas. Massive laugh from my end. I got it up 2 staircases, down another, and out of a house. Put it in a truck. Drove it across the state. Pulled it into my lovely little landing, shuffling it sideways. Pulled 2 railings off my walls. Brought it down another set of stairs and into my basement. Life... finds a way.

JEEVES420 posted:Not trying to be condescending in the least. Setting a circular saw to (1/8" in your case) depth and cutting several times across the notch area and then knocking the tiny "teeth" out with a hammer is SOP for notching posts. Quick and easy and all you need is a circular saw, speed square, and a hammer. This seems like the easiest and fastest answer. If you're doing a bunch and the spacing is super consistent, you could even gang cut them.

I. M. Gei posted:My plank is 10” wide and 8 linear feet, and all of that is just slightly too thick. That’s a bit big for a chisel (and I’m not entirely sure how a chisel is cool to use on something that I shouldn’t use a planer on; I guess the blade is different?), although a power sander might work on it. To answer your question, wet wood on a spinning machine gums poo poo up. The treated stuff can gently caress the machine up, over heat it and cause mayhem. A chisel costs ten bucks and can be cleaned off without tearing it to pieces. It can also be resharpened.
