I use a Wizard too. You have to avoid setting the wood on a chair or ANYTHING else with metal in it because it will go through 6" pieces of wood and pick up the screws, nails and so on in the item on...

The world of dust collection approaches have come a long ways from the old days. The Net wasn't around and good information wasn't readily found back in the seventies. Of course, I was fifty years...

Nowhere did I imply Bob is less than an expert, but I did say and stand by that I'm more knowledgeable about my shop and its and my needs than he or anyone else. Some of his recommendations are...

Here and most places in cities in the U.S. you have set backs. That is, you can only build within so many feet of the property line. As I said, my 30'x60' shop is five feet off the property line...

While it might surprise you, I noted the leaks too (insert knee slap). That is why I posted, to another forum link, about using the foam used between campers and pickup beds. The leaks you see are...

Enormous cost is the cost in materials and time to rebuild the system every time I make a major alteration to it. Remember the part of my post referring to rearranging furniture?

Then there is...

My system is a bit different. The hose off the four bagger is six inch to the cyclone. After the fact, it's four. Solid piping would be insane in my shop - I change equipment around like some gals...

I missed the "m" and saw only the 6x9, which some people get by with.

Yep, on your dust post statements. That is why I have three dust collectors, a sanding station, an AirHandler buff station and...

Of course, a planer can't handle curves and other shapes. Nor can it deal with wide boards [which can be stuck out the back of my sanding station]. For example, I make butter knives, turnings,...

You are right about the matter of heat, but is it heat or amps which trips a breaker? Here, in the states, it's all about the amps (and I've always wondered why people knowledgeable about amps times...

As to hard concrete floors, I cover mine with 1" x 4' x 6' ground rubber horse mats. What a HUGE difference! I can even drop a chisel and it will survive.

I used to have two installed in the wall of my old shop (pre-dust collector days) and plan on adding one again, even though I now have three collectors. I used to open the window in my man-door,...

On 3hp, my older Jets both draw around fifteen amps at 240, so have to be on a 20 amp circuit. Newer units might be more efficient, but, if you do go with a used unit, it would pay to check into the...

My approach to dust collection is, I have two 3hp Jets. Both use plastic bags on the lower end, to collect dust. One has two canister filters on top and the other has two one micron bags. I also...

I got my "real" band saw a few years back. I wanted quality cuts, so grabbed some fine tooth creatures, in narrow widths for decent fine curves. So started my "that ain't gonna work learning curve." ...

I whipped up a simple circle cutting jig in minutes. It made no sense to me to have to start dead on the edge of the board, or to have to cut a notch and start there. So rather than a stationary...

I do a small amount of resawing on my 14" Powermatic. I was going to go for the 3/4" blade, but after reading a lot of post from people far more versed in band saw work than me, I dropped back to a...
