Sounds like he means a socket head. Not going to get very far using an "allen key" on a hex head.

Are there any 8" jointers that are 110 though? I'd definitely go with the longer beds over the spiral cutterhead.

I like the German made brass bullet sharpeners. Buy a few because they are easily misplaced. https://www.dickblick.com/products/alvin-brass-bullet-pencil-sharpener/

I paid $100 for a Delta DP 220 off of Craigslist. It had some surface rust, but otherwise was in amazing condition. It was built in 1950 and the original belts were in perfect condition. You can't go wrong with an old Delta or Powermatic. Check in your area and you'll spend a fraction for a...

I was an avid watcher of Graveyard Cars but had several episodes backed up on my DVR and instead of watching them I decided to just delete them and quit recording new ones. The old format with Josh and Darrin was frustrating because they screwed around too much and never got anything done. The...

I have the Freud dial-a-width dado set and love it. I don't remember what I paid for it when I bought it around 9 years ago, but it's so easy to use. http://www.freudtools.com/index.php/products/product/SD608

That would ****. They used to make everything!

Well how do you catch a roadrunner?
