My new tools

Mike W. · 2005-02-17T01:53:46+00:00

Im sure this isn't a gloat since I didnt come by any of it luckily or for bargain basement prices, but I feel good about it anyways.The tax man and bonus man were good to me and my wife this year and I decided to make a decent tool committment so I could start making some serious sawdust. I have spent (or will have by the end of tomorrow) a pretty good chunk of change on some new tools. Here are the tools Im picking up tomorrow:Ridgid 6 1/8 In. Stationary Joiner - 22114 Table Saw - SD208 8" Stacked DadoAnd these are in the mail:Forrest WoodWorker II 10" Saw Blade - 12" rule set - Base, Dial Indicator, Caliper Combo pk to help with saw adjustments - a few other odds and ends tools I've been meaning to buy.I'm also going to get a Dust Collection system for my basement shop as soon as I decide between the Delta AP400 and the Harbor Freight 2HP model. I will be throwing a review of each of the tools on my up and coming website when I get to work with them some.If anyone has any of these and has any pointers about them or 'gotchas' to watch out for I'd appreciate hearing from you. SWMBO has commissioned me to build a furniture quality cabinet for her scrapbooking supplies so Im gonna have to master the new tools pretty quickly.Thanks.Mike

I cut on it all weekend. I have to say that it will suit my needs quite nicely. I built 2 sleds and put the Forrest WWII blade on it. I am nearly done with a scrapbooking cabinet for SWMBO. I would not hesitate to recommend this saw for the midrange user.

Thanks.
