We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives ru-vid.comUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.
Simply the video to watch before buying any wood working tools. I wish this video came with every tool to show how to use them! Superb again. I love all the Wood Magazine videos. All presenters are brilliant. Thank you.
I have a version of the Craftsman Router that you show in the video and must say it is EXCELLENT ! Mine has the above the table height adjustment feature for use in a router table . Have had it for a couple years and enjoy using it, It can be found on sale at times and is one of the best values going. I also have porter cable, dewalt and hitachi and freud routers and my craftsman is usually my go too.
Excellent channel! I’ve owned a mitre saw for years. I’t’s my goto for sizing boards. But you’ve shown me things here I never took the time to understand (The hold-downs). Anyway, appreciate your excellent videos and time spent to serve them to us.
Kudos to the Carpenter and Woodworkink magazine. My biggest pet peeve is addressed after A few years of this channel the table saw height/depth of cut We finally have proper instrutorinstructio4:77 seconds ;:;:;;:; clearly states the blad we should be set 1/4 above the work piece. This seperatesvthr classcally train CrFtd from the self taught actors. I've seen a treasure trove of streaming blade a few inches above the piece gives me here bee Gee bees until I can face the
I hope all newbies and seasoned pros alike give this consideration. I actually take the time to lower the blade until It only pierces enough to make the proper Cut
fantastic video sir! so much information on machines to buy, also how to use them and most important how to used them with safety. I wish for more videos like yours. thank you:)
question about your Craftsman Spindle sander. I am going to assume (I hate doing that) that the drum with the paper is reversible so you can use the entire length of paper. If not, how do you compensate for half of the drum being wasted?
Right out of the box you take the safety guards off the table saw and make a cut. That was one very very "stupid" move. Safety guards are suppose to be used not thrown in the trash.
I would not use a drill press with the amount of wobble yours had in this video. I wold secure it. If yours is on wheels, I would think you wold have lowered them so the drill press rested on its own base.
The subjects covered in this woodworking website t.co/z6o0f8z2H4 varies from wood types to tool types and uses. A few other subjects range from the various kinds of wood along with their distinct levels of difficulty when it comes to managing them. If you are still a beginner in wood working, then you will find this book very beneficial.
You don’t need a planer. The jointer is a planer. Once you make the first edge, the fence forces the next one square. You do all four sides, it’s square. Your planer is just for thickness, it’s just handy to combine the steps. The jointer is a jointer/planer. I didn’t know until RIDGID’s was named jointer/planer. Also, you are very helpful and teaching me a lot.
