A detective job for Saturday
While in the midst of a rip cut in 3/8 pine, my MK V up and quit. Just like the switch was turned off. Checked power from the outlet. All good. I suspect a loose wire internally. Hoping a visual inspection reveals the cause because my diagnostic tools are still packed away...in one box or another.

Re: de sta co look-a-likes?
I've been quite satisfied with the Harbor Freight vertical or horizontal toggle clamps. At $5.00 a pop, they're a good buy compared to the $17.00 Destacos.

Jointech help..PLEASE
When we packed up the shop to move to Tucson, I had to disassemble the Jointech Saw Train and router table that was mounted on my MK V. My original assembly manual is long gone and, I failed to get any pictures of it beforehand. Now, 10 months later, I'm about ready to reassemble it and, now my 80 y...

Re: Ahhhhh.....retirement! RV purchase time.
Well, without some major alterations to the Expedition, my suggestion is worthless. We've owned a tow behind, a self contained and a fifth wheel. By far, the fifth wheel was the winner. Far easier to tow and maneuver than the tow behind. And, unless you tow another vehicle behind a self contained un...

Re: What outage?
Thanks, Dusty. I wanted to search the forum for a solution to a minor problem. But, I finally figured it out on my own. Kinda like the old days. It felt good.

Re: Best track saw ?
I embedded an 8' length of T track in plywood and, attached a short piece of the corresponding insert to my Skil 77. Works great for sheet goods as well as lumber. Can't break it down so, it's a bit cumbersome to store. But it's accurate and cheap.

Re: Metric Rulers???
I tend to approach woodworking like a manufacturing process. But others enjoy hand-fitting parts, and/or have learned techniques that let them make perfectly-fitting assemblies without ever taking an absolute measurement. I'd like to become proficient at the latter myself. [/quote] I don't consider ...
