Getting it upright was a two-person job, which may or may not still be an issue with the contractor saw, but the crates are nbd and the Woodcraft guys dropped it way further up said lovely driveway than I was expecting

Li-ions are very energy-dense and don't take much provocation to just explode whether you're actively using them or not, it's been an issue with electric vehicles for over a decade. They don't get hot enough to spontaneously combust unless they're spontaneously combusting, if that's what you're asking, no.

yeah if you're envisioning the all-cordless kitchen having none of those issues, rather than adding, like, a dozen separate batteries and chargers you have to constantly manage to the mix, you're in for an expensively bad time battery-powered tools are great on, like, a jobsite, where wall current isn't an option and the gas-powered alternatives are even heavier and fussier. They're kinda dumb but understandable on things like vaccuums where you're wandering around room-to-room and would have to stop and plug it back in every five minutes. If you're doing that with your stand mixer, cut it out. A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Oct 21, 2022 |

While investigating why my older drill press has been getting a little stiff I found a huge wad of this crap wrapped around the spindle. Did people used to use some kind of olde tymey asbestos bushing that's now exploded and needs replacement, or did someone just shove a cat in there in 1968

The stuff you mix and melt in a pot isn't going to penetrate the wood sufficiently to meaningfully swell it and some people like it for fancy joinery because you can remelt it to nondestructively separate the joint, in much the same way a certain niche of fine woodworkers loves the idea you can always repair shellac by rubbing a little alcohol on it even though you may find yourself needing to do that kind of maintenance far more often. The liquid stuff Titebond sells in a bottle doesn't really have the same nominal advantages, but if you've lost a lot at the tracks you may enjoy using it as a kind of revenge

It's not like Bosch is in the business of selling table saws *cheaper* than what Sawstop's offering and I don't think they'd be otherwise better saws so I'm unclear on why anyone not employed by Bosch would be asked to give a poo poo about that. I guess if sawstop goes mad with power and starts charging a million dollars per saw once their totally unassailable monopoly on the market is secured forever that'd be... bad? But it's many degrees removed from anything that's happened.FISHMANPET posted:Why on earth would I want to listen to someone monologue at me for 15 minutes when I could read even a poorly edited article in like... 1 minute.

Man wouldn't it be sweet if there was some bygone era where woodworking youtube and the hobby magazines before them were about all the ways to use a pile of dead sanding belts and/or how to run a real business and not, like, a festool circus and someone's cool trick where they take 700 hours to make a kind of coffee table it's normally impractical to manufacture There's always been a huge disconnect between production woodworking , where a table saw means the capacity to bang through a thousand-plus extra bucks of work a week and a one-time $300 expense is nothing unless your existing plan is to just fire anyone who gets injured, and hobbyist woodworking, where office guys who make more adjusting spreadsheets than anyone who doesn't own a large factory will ever make in professional woodworking blow all their discretionary money on toys to produce the type and quantity of stuff they could honestly get done just fine with a hand saw and chisel, except they don't want to. From what I can tell the latter by and large are starting to reevaluate whether they really need a table saw and determining that no, what they really need is a 4x8 CNC router A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Apr 4, 2024 |

totally, there's just nobody in this equation who legitimately needs to cut a couple hundred in safety equipment out of the budget, and everyone either needs or wants a table saw little old coot youtube where they stick to like a $30/40 hour project budget and are whittling a chair with a pocket knife would be chill as hell but it never existed and apparently about six other people would watch it A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Apr 4, 2024 |

I've definitely seen marine latches that look approximately like that, but you may have to content yourself with one that's a couple inches across or so, and that particular design is not going to latch an outward swinging door very well, it's designed to stop things pulling apart linearly. Round is easy, you could find something like a round cam latch without too much trouble, just depends how fussy you are about what it looks like

Combo! The big arm is depth adjustment and then the two little knobs on the side are latches, you pop those and flip the table up to get at the planer underneath

Yeah that's gonna be interesting because just looking at their stuff it has a ton of extra moving parts and absolutely needs a bunch more maintenance than a regular ol' block-of-iron saw or jointer. Making the guard a long spindly extrudes arm held on by a custom cast bracket was a baffling design decision for something that is absolutely going to get slammed by 70lbs of 8/4 maple as a normal job function

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:Very interested to see how your spare parts experience with Felder goes. From everything I've heard about them, getting parts in a timely manner and at a sane cost is a major weak point, but hopefully I'm wrong. Haven't received it yet but so far my spare parts experience is they got back to me in a day and wanted $18. Apparently they were caught completely unprepared for the idea that their tools might ever see a second owner though which was pretty entertaining canyoneer posted:a website where dogs review tools.
