If it lasts that long I'd spray the whole thing. Better than asphalt sealer :)

I do mask mine. Maybe not necessary. Sand again with 220g wet or dry. Then spray with flat or satin black. It will look great.

It's a 3/4 cut, 1/4 shank bit. I was cutting 1/2 bb in one pass. I had it in my cheapie B&D plunge router, supposed to be 1 3/4 hp. My jasper jig is mounted on my good Bosch 3 1/4 hp. I'll swap that out. Too much cut, too fast, not enough machine all make sense. The bosch will also take 1/2 shan...

Router Tips

No, I don't have any, I'm looking for them. I used my pattern following bit to make some cutouts. I haven't used it much before. It really chattered the edge of the cut. I was looking for a nice smooth cut. Fixed it with a rasp. I adjusted the speed up but it didn't' seem to help. Suggestions? A tec...

Avoid the spike style. What always happens to me is one of the spikes doesn't drive and flattens. Here's the best way I've found to install the hurricane nuts. Put a dab of epoxy on the nut. Use a hex head cap screw with a fender washer. Put it through the hole, start it on the tee nut. Spin the nut...

Re: the "2 250s per side Club" is adding more memb

Not as drastic, since doubling cabs lowers the line array function by an octave, while less than a doubling doesn't do as much. But it does keep getting better. So what is the approx cutoff of the coupling, and does going to stack of 4 :shock: drop it by an octave again? I'm sure there's a point of...

Higher pressure, smaller tip size for a nice lightly pebbled finish, over the original formula . Bigger nozzle for larger lumps, more like ceiling texture.

Welcome to the club 8)

I know it's line array physics in action, but the difference is astounding.

Even for the small gigs I always take 4. You can always turn it down.

My 28 year old B&D Router still works like a champ and is my favorite. My 24 Year old Skil Belt Sander still cranks it out. B&D back inthe day. Those tools are all now yellow. IMO they haven't made a tool worth owning since Makita/Ryobi knocked them off the shelves at the hardware stores/lu...

The reason you see so many contractors using Dewalt is when the transition to B&D was finished, they passed tools out like candy at Halloween. Good marketing ploy. Most of the line is a decent commercial/contractor tool. They are not really industrial grad. There's really 3 lines of tools, crap,...
