In addition to the above comments: Was the Hock blade thick-ish? If so, either put it back or find another the same thickness.

Note that the cyclone is supported with a chain from the ceiling. This makes it easier to remove to clear chips. Only finer dust goes through to the DC ......

Phil, diamond dulls eventually. Fortunately the disks are very cheap. Diamond is the only abrasive to cut TCT.

Hi Andy

My advice for finding the sweet rake for a saw is to use the rake angle from a saw you like. Simply sit the file inside the gullet and measure its angle. Now use that. Or, if you are using...

I would imagine that these are totally different planes, with totally different experiences.

Zac, I must admit that I have never seen fiddleback Karri. That would be a first. Mostly, I find it a coarse wood, sometimes even scaly.

My Karri is nothing like your Karri. :) That looks like Jarrah to my eye, but the only way you can tell one from the other reliably is by burning a splinter. My experience with Karri is from...

David, it is not simply that woods like Karri (and Jarrah and She-oak and ....) are hard and abrasive. It is that they also have interlocked grain. This makes riving them impossible, or very...

David, this issue is not about which is better, hand or power. This is about deciding to do hand tools ONLY at age 72 years. How old are you?

Hi Bucky

To be blunt - you are 72 and, unless you only plan to build small items, such as boxes, and have forearms like Popeye, you are going to do yourself an injury.

I am 71, and spent...

Hi Kuriatko

Apologies, but it needs to go to someone willing to pick it up. As mentioned earlier, no posting.

It’s a great idea to add a sharpening lesson at that time.

Yvan, imagine adding a warning to everything just in case someone sues you for not warning them beforehand? Those with commonsense need not apply.
