I see Craft Supplies USA has PM and Jet lathes at 20% + free shipping. It's been a long time since I've seen them discount that much, lately PM has been 10% though I think there was somewhere they went to 15%. This doesn't help me any, but if someone is considering one or the other this may be as good as it gets. Edit: as best I can tell it's only the lathes, no other power tools or accessories.

Thinking New Table Saw Time
honesttjohn posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
My old Craftsman (13 model) keeps giving me fits. Pulleys won't stay lined up and that leads to a lot of vibration and heat. Looking at a new replacement table saw. I don't need anything fancy so a low end entry level small shop one should work ($1200 +/-). I also have to get it down to the basement and the doorway is 29 inches wide. Been considering the Laguna F1, but there seems to be a quality and alignment with them. The Grizz 962 looks promising, but the fence isn't the greatest ----- but I have a Vega fence on the Craftsman if it'll fit. Also looked at the Delta from Lowes, but there seems to be a motor problem with them. Jet is a maybe, too. There seems to be some type of problem with all of them. Any opinions on where to spend my money? -
I just purchased the Jet Midi 12 inch wood lathe. I'm not putting up with trying to purchase parts anymore for the delta so that lathe is going to be set aside and collect dust for now. I plan on building a bench for this one so I'll have to get some new materials now that I'm fairly experienced with bench building I should be able to manage only needs to be a small one unless I just purchase one for it. Either way should work out fine and the jet should probably run. MUCH MUCH better than the delta any how unless I can convert the delta stand that I currently have to support the jet. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0160YGHZ6

I have a Delta 1 1/2 HP dust collector in my shop that for the most part does a good job. I have 4" PVC pipe run to all of my machines and usually only have one gate open at a time. However there are times when I have help in the shop and we are using multiple machines and just don't get enough air flow to pull on the machines. My Delta table saw is the worse of the bunch. I have the overhead guard/dust collector and pulling off the bottom but it just doesn't get the enough pull. I am thinking of going to a 3 hp to get the higher CFM's and to allow multiple machines to run at the same time. I have been reading a few reviews but no real good comparisons. I really like the looks of the Laguna, but the few reviews I have read were not good, talking about leaks and missing parts and trouble getting replacement parts. Have any of you seen a recent comparison by any of the Wood Working Magazines lately? I would really be interested in what they have to say.

I have wanted a drum sander for a long time and I really want a Supermax 16-38 but really it's too big for what I do and of course several more $100 than the Jet. Has anyone had any experience with the Jet 10" sander? Thanks for any help.
