    Shout out to Connecticut saw and Tool!

    So, I needed a custom knife for a project Im working on. Im matching a new design to a high end bedroom suit and the devil is in the details. Looking around, I wasnt able to find anything the same size exactly so I measured the existing profile and created a drawing. I sent it to one place for...

    Kapex dust collection oddities

    As youre aware, there is no good way to easily and repeatably extract dust unless its in a equally vented cavity. I cant imagine a wood working tool we use that can be farther from that reality. That said, chop saws are probably the worst offenders for medium sized sawdust in the shop. Some...

    Xcarve CNC 1000x1000

    Jamie is correct. But, unless you hate using it or cant get a handle on all the software knowledge to operate it, you probably end up upgrading later on. These are entry level machines. I dont know anything about Xcarve, I think the software is proprietary?. If thats the case, and you THINK...

    how to make a 4 inch duct flow like a 2

    I did not reply to argue either, just to basically point out that I've never seen 100% dust extraction that costs me more money as a selling point, especially if I have to marry it with a cyclonic collector @ 5+HP even if we should all have such things.

    how to make a 4 inch duct flow like a 2

    how to make a 4 inch duct flow like a 2

    Its generally there to keep long, thin pieces (think tablesaw) or other random things out of your DC... could it be designed more aerodynamic? certainly, would we all want to pay for it?, probably not. All engineering is a trade off, quality, design, cost , features and most recently...
