Jason Watkins replied to mike healey's discussion 'Dado + kreg = why'"Oh yes, the screw will definitely be sufficient, and will add strength. It is just intriguing to me that the clamping force of the screw is enough to hold a joint together while the glue dries. A handy tip to remember for when you run out of clamps…"
Jason Watkins replied to Rita Baske's discussion 'New to Tablesaw'"Well said Jay! As a semi-pro I too have found Forrest blades well worth the money. The same blade handles all my rip and crosscut needs. I only take it off to replace it with my Forrest Dado stack.
Ken my findings with Forrest blades have mirrored…"
Jay Boutwell replied to Jason Watkins's discussion 'Pretty sure I got a good deal...'"Jason I never have a problem with any drill for screwing pocket screws and even use a small 3/8 " air powered drill fitted with a bit to set many of my screws. Since the pocket screw will overdrive its self long before it…"
Jason Watkins replied to mike healey's discussion 'Dado + kreg = why'"Hey I know this is an old thread, but I just watched the trim carpentry episode where Gary builds the window seat and book cases.
It seems to me that the kreg screws are used to clamp the shelf into the dado in the side of the book case.
Since he…"
Jason Watkins replied to Rita Baske's discussion 'New to Tablesaw'"For me, the advantage of the Forrest blade is quality of the cut, the quality of the product, the factory sharpening service, and the great customer service they have. It's a lifetime blade for me. I have heard good things about some of the…"
Jason Watkins replied to Jason Watkins's discussion 'Pretty sure I got a good deal...'"Thanks Ken, wish I would have realized that before I drilled three new holes in the bottom of my jig base! I'm embarrassed to say I did not stop and check after the first one!"
Ken Darga replied to Jason Watkins's discussion 'Pretty sure I got a good deal...'"Impact-drivers are very useful and effective tools---however, they're intended for ''specific duty use''.
Impact-drivers are ''too aggressive'' for pocket-hole joinery.
Impact-drivers were initially…"
Jason Watkins replied to Jason Watkins's discussion 'Pretty sure I got a good deal...'"yea i think i'll stick with the regular drill for drilling, as it has the adjustable clutch. I got a combo set of a drill and impact driver for Christmas, and was hoping to use the impact driver for drilling the pocket holes, which sounds…"
michael evans replied to Jason Watkins's discussion 'Pretty sure I got a good deal...'"Hi jason adjust the clutch setting on your drill ,a normal battery drill the best impact drills can be a little fierce.Great buy though."
Lorrie replied to Jason Watkins's discussion 'Pretty sure I got a good deal...'"It was your Lucky Day! I'm so jealous. . . I kept looking at that toolbox and it was too expensive for me. ($200+)It was never on sale at our Lowes. I even checked with the employees to see if it was going on sale. …"
Jason Watkins replied to justin waldron's discussion 'byrd shelix in action'"Nice! It's still on my "someday" list! Do you remember ever hearing a rattling noise on your DeWalt 735?

Jason Watkins replied to Rita Baske's discussion 'New to Tablesaw'"Hi Rita, I'd suggest a Forrest blade she you order a replacement. Well worth the cost! Their dado king is awesome too!"

Jason Watkins replied to Fins59's discussion 'Radial Arm Saw Recall'"There is a lot of misinformation that because it is so widespread seems to have become common knowledge about radial saws.

Larry E Dennis said… Jason, Where do you live? I only ask because just a week ago I was looking at a Dewalt exactly like this one including the wire hanging by the motor. I live in Eugene, OR. The place where I saw the saw had 2 of them plus 2 Craftsman saws. If you don't have one now & can swing it a sliding compound miter saw would be a better use of your dollars. The only things that I can think of that a radial arm saw can do thar a miter saw can't is rip & dadoo ( that looks wrong, sorry) LarryD
