=> Knowledge Base Highlights
Some heads are shaking while others are nodding on the
subject of using a planer to resurface old painted floor
boards... It's the naysayers versus the yea-sayers, each
presenting their case.

Efficient and inexpensive, accurate and flexible... These
are the required characteristics for a shaper cutter
height-setting system. Recommendations can be found here:

When you're cranking miles of material through the
moulder, tallying lumber can become worse than
inconvenient... Here's how some shops deal with
counting and producing at the same time:

This cabinetmaker and his client agreed on standard 12"
uppers for a custom kitchen. Problem is, it seems
"standard" is debatable... Should that 12" measurement
refer to the exterior or interior of the cabinets?

A piece of the pie is missing in this project... The newel
cap has been turned, but a pie shaped wedge must be cut
from the cap in order to receive the handrail. How do you
accomplish this in your shop?

Too short, too brittle, too expensive... In the huge

choices here:
