I just recently purchased one of the little makita's and it was a pleasant surprise. It looks like a toy but works quite well. For normal everyday work we have 4 of the Makita 14.4 volt impact drivers. Basically the impact drivers use the impact action to increase torque. Even a 12 volt...

As Dan said, Leevalley.com is the only source for the Veritas equipment. I have never seen anyone have anything negative to say about Lee Valley. I've used their router tables for years. I have four of the tables plus bought some parts from them to make a custom table. Great quality...

Bryan, WOrking together we'll get you there and hopefully I'll learn something too. Burt

The inca products were imported into the US by a company called "Garrett Wade". I owned one of the radial are saws and it was very nice. The saw had a crosscut capacity of 26" but was light weight enough for one man to move around. As I recall, the saw was made in Austria. Garrett Wade no...

Byron, Let me try to do a side by side comparison of the MFT and the PBB. Also please note that all of the photos that I posted were pre-PBB photos. Using the MFT, the rail has to be raised after each cut to reposition the board and the saw has to be set aside. With the PBB, We use a bit...

Here is a link to several pictures of three of the tables that I have put together. They represent 3 different styles and are not the most recent tables but they do show more on usage than most of my recent photos. Please there is info about each photo just below the photo...

Dan has chosen to question the creditability of DIno and myself. I only have a couple of comments. First when I compare EZ and Festool equipment, I am speaking as a fulltime professional woodworker who has both the Festool saw and MFT in my Shop as well as the EZ tables. Dino also has some...

Ivan, Something I should have mentioned earlier: There are two versions of the EZ bridge - the B-100 and the B-200. The B100 does not have the folding parts like the B-200. With the B-100, you adjust the bridge to thickness of the wood you are going to cut. When working with a single...

That looks surprisingly like the EZ square with a handle. The only thing that I see that is missing is an anti splinter system to insure cut quality. Burt

Since I am an avid supporter of the Eurkazone products, I have been asked to add a "tag line" stating that. I have no connection with the Eurekazone company. I have been using the EZ bridges as long as they have been available. I have not experienced any side to side movement in the...

There is no need to apologize. This is a big decision. In the states we only have two main systems so it is easier to sample both and then move on from there. In Europe, there must be at least half a dozen. I would want to make a checklist of things I would like to have in a system. A...

Byron, In an earlier post you said that the EZ is a copy. I think you might want to take another look at the U tube videos. Also here is a few points for you to consider. I personally own a good bit of the Festool Stuff and most of the EZ Stuff. Conservatively, I've made more than 20 of...

It sounds to me like you have a good grasp of the basics. One of the great things about the EZ System to me is that you can buy as little or as much as you wish. You might want to check out the the EZ Smart forum. It is located on Sawmill Creek. WWW.sawmillcreek.org Scroll down the page...

Chip, I Think it would be wise to look at the video again. The Eurekazone table is vastly different from the Festool MFT. For beginners, it offers auto clamping. The rail is dual directional. It is much larger than a MFT. These two tables are similiar only in that both are used for...

Darren, You're most welcome. Burt

Darren, I won't attempt to tell you which bridge is best for you. With the B-100, you raise and lower the rail for each cut by loosening and tightening 2 to 4 knobs. The B-200 has a hinge mechanism that allows the rail to hinge up and down. I prefer the B-200 because it is easier to use...

Darren, I've seen several of the guys from this forum on the EZ Smart forum and I thought that I would check this forum out. Dino sells the EZ smart in all different forms and you can add to it when you wish. I would recommend that you start with one of the sets. SGS 64, SGS 100, SGS 114...
