  1. FWIW I have used my magnetic Forrest shims for years and never had an issue like that. I wonder if its the new supplier...

    Cost prohibitive? With all due respect its not like they give those dado sets away 

  2. I break down my sheet goods on the driveway with a track saw and 2" x 4' x 8' piece of foam. In the winter time if I have to, due to snow, I throw the foam on my outfeed table.

    So here in America we have 2 political parties. One isn’t better than the other, but you have the right to vote how you want on the issues and people that match your way of thinking. If you don’t exercise this right, then you have no position to complain in the future.  Since I didn’t get enough support to be on the presidential ticket (I would be awesome) I will keep my vote in the upcoming charade Private. ? ?

    Exactly!! And IMO this is what makes America different we can have varying opinions and not be put in jail for it. I personally think this is a great thing, if we all thought alike how boring would that be.

    I wouldn't completely agree with that..  I, personally, think there were some very telling answers and lack of answers in there.  I didn't think my opinion or vote would be swayed and listened with open ears and an open mind.  My opinion wasn't swayed.

    Hmm I must have been in the spray room and missed that part LOL...having said that I believe I had ABC on in the shop and the most disturbing thing I saw was a poll after the debate that showed 3o+ percent of those polled thought the debate was entertaining...seriously folks ?? Entertaining it's a flipping debate how about some real information and debating going on...

    Ok i'm done before I get booted ?

  4. A little late but in my opinion a mortise machine without a moving table is a case in frustration. I owned two a Jet and a Powermatic both frustrated me to the point that they were sold. I then took a class at the MASW and used the Powermatic with the moving table and found it to be a game changer, I now have one in my shop.

    I can honestly say I've never broken a HCM bit..  I'm thinking you got a bum one in the deal!

    I agree! 

    Re sharpening I have never had one come sharp regardless of price. Definitely sharpen and hone them you will be glad you did as they will work way better. I use the Lee Valley bits and they will stay sharp longer but do need to be sharpened and honed

    My neighbor brought his new girlfriend to see my shop yesterday..  I thought if funny when he was the one to tell her not to set her drink on anything that wasn't wood in my shop...lol. I must have said something to him at some point in a stern enough way that the message stuck with him...lol

    Whatever you said worked ?
