What would be your recommendation for someone who, at present, has a Lenovo Idea Pad with an i7 processor running Windows 11 who is fed up with MS tech support and subscription model.

    The new hammer

    My apologies. In my defense, I'm not very bright. Although I did prove to my wife that I'm smarter than she is.

    The new hammer

    Judging by your description, that's not the same hammer. The one i have has a straight graphite handle with a knob on the end, the face is crowned with an 1/8" chamfer on it and does not say Weight Forward on it.

I don't know if the present iteration of that hammer still has the tuning fork in it but if it does i highly...

    Table saw fence

    When I bought my table saw 40+ years ago I spent some time pondering which side of the blade to put the fence on for safety. I concluded that on the left side was best being right-handed. Being in the building trades I find that on the right is pretty much standard as it is on the TV shows and...

    Titanium hammers?

    Years ago I had a similar problem. Switched to a Stanley Graphite hammer which has a tuning fork in the handle to absorb the vibrations. Worked instantly. Comparable price to regular hammer. Don't know if still available but worth checking out.

    I recently acquired 2 of these. I would like to know what the proper skew angle of the cutters is. I've read online that it is 7 or 7 1/2 degrees however the cutters I have and the line on the cutter box are at 9 degrees.

    Attaching vice to fire door workbench

    I would use T-Nuts. You can counterbore the top with a Forstner bit so it sits flush.

    Perhaps the phraseology of my original post was misleading. I don't have any interest in this company, I simply receive their catalog several times a year.
