Speaker ports are the right shape but hard to find in 150mm/6". 100mm/4" more common. Companies that sell parts to audiophiles carry them along with online sellers like Amazon, and the ones in China. I have not tried one so can't say how durable they will be...

Here is a plate made of Satin Walnut (Red Gum) and White Oak arranged to represent the sky over the windblown prairie fields. It is 11 3/4" across and 5/8" high, finished with Tried and True, a Linseed oil and wax food safe product. The pen is from along side the knot that was to the left of the...

Spectric I understand how those rollers work, feather boards too for that matter but would feather board fingers cut on an angle help with keeping the wood against the fence? In other words the saw cuts instead of being square to the faces were on an angle like this ////////// rather than...

The spores that cause spalting are everywhere in the air and ground around you. Bringing already spalted wood under cover wouldn't make any more of a difference than if you brought unsplalted freshly cut wood in. The cherry will dry quicker if cut into boards or rough turned into bowl blanks...

To use an angle grinder on the inside curve of the riving knife mark the saw blade. Lay the grinder blade off vertical such that the perimeter of the blade can follow the arc, maybe 45º. You are aiming for a groove that resembles a laid over L where the short leg of the L is following the marked...

I trained as an aircraft mechanic in 1974/5. Aviation bolt lengths are specified by the diameter and the grip length, the unthreaded portion, the threads being the thickness of the corresponding nut plus three threads. Easy to work with. Just measure the thickness of the material to be held and...

I was wondering why build two structures side by side? To my little mind it would make more sense to make one larger building, divided down the middle so the need for a ridge beam is eliminated entirely because all the rafters can sit on top of the middle wall. Construction is simplified. Less...

Like I just did? On the bottom right corner of the post you want to respond to is a Reply button. Click it and it opens a reply box. I deleted the part of the text in the box and that is why it isn't there. Add your text below the box. I'm also enjoying the thread. Pete

You will hate me but.... The bigger bag will allow your DC to "breath" easier so that is a good thing. What I do not see is how fine a dust particle they will filter out. You want a 1 micron bag, nothing bigger. One thing to keep in mind is getting a tight seal between the bag and metal ring is...

You could skip the trunnion and mount the table such that it is perpendicular to the blade. I honestly can't remember ever tilting the table to do any cutting in over 50 years. Recently on another forum a gent showed a bandsaw he bought that didn't have a table so he made a new one with a thick...

The picture of the board on the stove shows a great face. Should be displayed with the handle pointing down. Pete

For some reason it reminds me of a leather working tool to ease the edges of the leather. I'll sit corrected if wrong. Pete

Just because a manufacturer supplies a DC with some attachments doesn't mean they are a good thing to use. They usually provide them because the consumer wants to be able to no brain fit everything together. So they have 4" fitting at the DC to 4" hose/duct to the tool that has a 4" fitting...

Can't speak for Eamonn but I don't think it would be so easy. We regularly have 100kph winds several times during the year and if it isn't designed and built properly it will be scattered across the prairie....probably towards the house first. 😱 Assembling a well designed kit wouldn't be much a...

If you want to pull dust from a lathe you will need a system that can utilize 6"/150mm ducting. 3hp would be a minimum. Bill Pentz has a site with a lot of information and it will take you many hours to read it all. I strongly suggest you wade through it including the repeated parts...

Oh Adam, you have time for barbecued steaks with all the trimmings 😋 before this thread plays out. 😉 Pete

I'll follow along if you don't mind. I have never seen such an animal here much less a kit or parts to do your own. Pete Well dog gone there are lots. I have to get out more. They aren't all that expensive either. A search for them and slipping parts into the search yielded a number like these...

Yes the blade is usually damaged and must be replaced. The brake cartridge is also sacrificial so has to be replaced by you unless it was activated by flesh. If it was a save you send it back to SawStop for them to analyze the computer chip and they will send you a replacement for free. The...

America was built on people that crated monopolies and the masses worship that philosophy. Someone else is basically doing the same and a monopoly. The same masses hate him for it. Such a hard bunch to please. Pete

Do you guys have a product like SONOpan? It is the equivalent of £17.70 for a 4' x 8' x 3/4" sheet, basically the same size as OSB but a little thicker. Put on the wall and ceiling before the inner sheeting would cut the noise and add some of the unwanted insulation 😉 to the shop. Pete
