"Jay, Thanks much for your inputs. Good to get the facts from a professional wood worker, as yourself. Getting a perfectly smooth cut, for edge joining, is my goal. "

Ken Darga replied to mike healey's discussion 'Dado + kreg = why'
"Jason, There are some applications, where using the Kreg pocket hole joinery is more suitable over using external clamps, while the adhesive is drying.  Pocket-hole joinery is useful for this purpose, as well in ''pinning''…"

Ken Darga replied to Charles Swift's discussion 'Kreg True-Flex Featherboard'
"Gary,  Place a metal ''flat'' washer under the end of the knob--- so the knob rotates on the surface of the washer. Fender washers are handy---clamping pressures are distributed to a larger surface area.  In some…"

"PS--- If insufficient space does not allow the use of ''tape'', along the side of the bar, clean the surface areas, (remove the wax, oils, sawdust, or the like), from the miter slot using a mineral spirits dampened cloth, allow…"

Ken Darga replied to Charles Swift's discussion 'Kreg True-Flex Featherboard'
"Charles, The fasterner only needs to be snugged-up, (finger tight), to keep the tool from slippage. Over-tighening isn't necessary-- it only makes it more difficult to loosen.  Adding masking tape to one vertical face of the slide-bar, as…"

"Jason, What's the advantage of a high $$$ Forrest blade, for homeowner/DYI user cutting tasks? "

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…"

Ken Darga replied to Rita Baske's discussion 'New to Tablesaw'
"Rita, If you decide to make/or have made, a new and shorter shop-made mobile base, I’d suggest that it be larger than the base of the table saw. Your table saw is top heavy. A larger size base area, will improve stability.  (I’ve…"

Ken Darga replied to Raj Bala's discussion 'Selection of circular saw & cordless drill / driver'
"Raj, Cordless battery operated tools are very useful, and beneficial for many tasks. Great for the homeowner and DYI tasks. There are some HD tools, that are favored by construction workers.   Ryobi offers several a variety of 18V cordless…"

"Rita, Perhaps just remove and replace the stand with a shorter size shop-made mobile stand/base. "

Ken Darga replied to Rita Baske's discussion 'New to Tablesaw'
"Rita, Re table saw working height   Can your table saw stand be shortened---so as to have a lower working height?   Have you entertained the idea of constructing an elevated platform, so as to make the working height surrounding the table…"

Ken Darga replied to Rita Baske's discussion 'New to Tablesaw'
"Rita, One thing that is important, is for the work surface to be waist high.  Reaching too high and out,  increases the risk of danger. Before making a cut, I always plan ahead---the path the work-piece is taking and where the work-piece…"
