Re: Hammer K3 On/Off switch
Thanks Derek, I had a similar set up on my cabinet saw and I liked it as I could turn the saw off with my hip/thigh if needed. With your idea this wouldn't be possible but in an emergency it would be

Re: Hammer K3 On/Off switch
In all fairness I can see where it can be an issue, back in the day the saw would go on at 6am and I could be there until noon busting up panels - turning off was not usually an option, now that I

Re: Hammer K3 On/Off switch
Kevin, my ¡°solution¡± may not help enough in your situation since I do not work with sheets, only hardwood - as a result I do not have to duck under the board to get to the switch. In my case I

Re: Factory Tours
I cannot improve on David's reply -- so this is a diversion. If you enjoy walking and like fresh trout, consider the 7km walk NNW from Seefeld to the Forellenhof in Weidach. Great food and

Re: Red Grandis for patio furniture
I used it as the ceiling of an overhang to my porch. Tongue and groove machined easily, and it took finish very well. It has been installed for four years through central PA winters and hot humid

Re: Red Grandis for patio furniture
Thanks Michael. It is hard to keep up with finish choices. This one seems to focus on oily woods but probably works even better on other woods. Thanks for sharing. Imran

Re: Red Grandis for patio furniture
Thanks Imran. I used Epifanes and followed the directions on the can. It flows out really well. I used a small roller for the final coat on the top to make sure I had even distribution. Michael
