    There is what appears to be oil trickling down the quill of my PC dp. I don't think this is normal. Does anyone know what this is and what caused it?

    Rule #3, if your lathe has a safety shield and you can use it....DO!!! My wife, who loves me more than I deserve, let me get a new lathe a few months ago. A Powermatic 3520b. I love this lathe, especially better than the old Craftsman tube-types I had. Anyway, I've flung a few pieces of wood...

    My favorite tool in the woodshop is a router - it always has been. From the first 5/8 hp Black and Decker I ever laid my hands on I realized this is a tool with unmatched versatility. From inlays, to pattern routing, or just a simple edge profile - these tools can do it all. So what is your...

    Hello everyone, I have one more question for everyone. I am looking at getting the Hitachi C10RA3 table saw. I would only be using it for the odd DIY project and would not be doing any sort of fine cabinet making or anything. Is this a good table saw for what I would need it for? Thanks for...

    New Tool Frenzy Kind of interesting how outside forces can affect your decisions on a more personal level. Obvious to everyone, we are in a bit of a tough economic time right now. I work in information technology and that is a field easily outsourced. Right now, I make ends meet and live a...

    Five Porter Cable Quicksand 332s. One is different. Nope. Not the Khaki one. It's one of the others. I have purchased two of these new and have picked up several since on the 'bay. They are durable and dependable and repairable. One, however, upon plugging it in, ran faster. Smoother...

    I've been watching Craigslist the past week for a $10-$20 router I could use as a trade in at Woodcraft to pick up a Porter-Cable 690LR, I really like that router.
