Great saw for the price
Although reviews can provide you with a good overview of what’s out there, I still like to actually see (and touch) the tools before buying them. So I went down to the local store and checked out their offerings. I was attracted to the Hitachi C10FCH miter saw because [...]

Makita takes a page from Porter Cable’s book
Porter Cable is in big trouble with this router. Makita has copied (borrowed) the best of the features that make the PC 690 the standard in mid-sized routers and added lots more. The 1101 has more HP (2-1/4 vs. 1-1/2) Has Variable speed, A much nicer [...]

Dare I say it? Yes, I dare: Better Than Porter Cable
I played around with a bunch of routers and router combo packs before settling on this one. I played with the Bosch, Porter Cable, Dewalt, Milwalkee, and Makita, but none of them felt so solid in my hand or ergonically precise as the [...]

Super smooth cuts, even crosscuts.
After trying various other blades, I have found this to be the best all around table saw blade. At first I was skeptical of the high price, but after using it I am convinced that this is the only way to go. Tool tip - Make sure that [...]

I have had some biscuits that either fall into the slot or you have to tap them in with a hammer. These biscuits all fit snugly in the slots with no variances. Great product!

Variable Speed a Big Plus
The variable speed feature of the JDS unit is a real benefit as are the two speed ranges. At the low speed setting you can barely tell the unit is on. The only noise you hear at the maximum setting is from the rush of air, not rattles. [...]

Great planer for small shop.
I was one of the first to get the DW734 from Amazon. Other than the 3-knife head (with 2-sided disposable blades instead of resharpenable) and some styling details, the 734 planer appears to be identical to the previous model, the 733. I haven’t been able to get any detailed info [...]

Kreg Trim Carpentry DVD
I was considering purchasing the Kreg Master jig kit which sells for about $150. Purchasing this DVD for about $10 seemed like a good investment to try and determine how and if this investment made sense for me. I thought the DVD was well worth the $10. Several ways [...]
