Thanks Glen. Right now I am using a shop vac with HEPA filter so it's not too bad. That is combined with dust masks and a respirator as warranted. You are absolutely right though and a properly set up DC system with ducting through the shop would be a benefit. However, I think I should also improve my electrical & lighting in the shop and I think that's the priority.Glen Smith wrote:Actually the only one I see that would be a health benefit is the dust collector. If you don't take good care of your respiratory system, you won't be woodworking long enough to need the other tools. :rolling eyes
Oh yes, Happy (belated) Birthday.
Yeah well mine's only a 10" saw (Delta). Not a great bandsaw but it does OK for what I task it with. My thoughts with the fence would be that it would be transferrable if/when I upgrade the saw.Glen Smith wrote:Bandsaw fence, eh? I just wish I had a decent (14") bandsaw.
Hmmm, the low angle jack plane was on my list (the wish list feature on the Lee Valley web site is a dangerous thing) but I left it off because I figured the other two planes were the priority. Plus they cost less.canoeblderinmt wrote:As a hand plane addict, I would go for the low angle jack or a low angle block plane. I own the LV LAJ and absolutely ....LOVE IT!!
Now that's the kind of practical info I was looking for. But dang, they come in such a pretty blue colour!canoeblderinmt wrote:I personally would not spend money on a band saw fence, as each band has a different set, which can vary with tension and wear. I just use a self made "point fence" if I am ripping or re-sawing.
