Interesting Gene. Brand ? Model number ?

In almost all cases it is NOT mass produced. Custom one of a kind pieces are not cheap too make. Plain and simple.

Wait until it happens to you.

I've got what I think is a major gripe about furnace filter sizes. For example my wife went down and bought 16" x 25" x 4" the same size thats printed of the old filter. She gets it home and it wouldn't because the actual size from one to the other filter is different by as much as 1/4' in just one or more the the demensions. I say, what a bunch of BS ! How about some standardized sizes folks ? It might not only save us from another trip to the store, but lesson the chances of price gouging.

There is not enough profit in woodworking to justify the cost of having a industrial cabinet table saw in a hobby shop. If you can afford one great, I'd rather just buy a good Contractor's tablesaw that I can be proud of and does a good job, and not end up so broke that I've got to shop at HF.

Wouldn't this post be more appropriate in the Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety section ?

It's probably that time when someone needs to invest in a dovetail jig and a router.

And what kind of work would that be ?

I sold the Delta 10" Contractor's table saw with 30" Unifence that I have had for many years, since new. It was my baby until I found a smaller version, a Rockwell 9" Contractor's table saw. Slowly starting to sell stuff off after the bad news, it's hard to do. Alot of the stuff I have I put my personal touch on and am proud of it, such as dust collection, etc.

The Delta dust hood for that planer ran straight out from the center of the outfeed. I decided that I wanted it to run it out the side so the dust hose was out of the way of the outgoing boards.

They are all going to price themselves right out of business.

Too rich for my blood.

Had a Delta DC-33 also, I made a dust hood for it made of sheet metal to hook the dust collector to.
