I just bought a new to me home in 91709 California. It's a 2004 Taylor Woodrow built home. Yay! Well, it was a short sale, so I think I got it for a decent deal. Previous owner had passed away and the home was empty for 2 years and sold by the estate. In any case, there's lots to do in the...

I'm trying to help my sister out figuring a way to cut small 1/4-3/8" disks out of 1/4 thick acrylic or wood. It's for decorative jewelry making. Everything I have is 1) too big and 2) makes a pilot hole in the center of the work. Is there a smallish circle cutter on the market that can do...

I have a newer craftsman 10" table saw (2 years old). There is a sticker on the front that says only use 6" stacked dados. Not to use adjustable dados. So, what's wrong with using a 8" dado blade? And why only stacked and no adjustables? :dunno:
