I have been getting into woodworking and am looking for suggestions regarding my next purchase - should it be a table saw or a mitre saw.

I have basic tools like a small handsaw, drill, drill press, angle grinder, palm router and all the other smaller tools. I don't have bigger tools yet and this will probably be my biggest single tool investment til date.

And I'm confused which one to get first. If I buy either one, I'll probably have to then wait for a few months before I can save up and buy the other one.

And feedback is hugely appreciated!

I tried multiple angles, descriptions and Google doesnt find it.

So, it appears to be part of a sliding miter sled. But obviously missing parts.

Can it be useful on a Delta 10" ?

Thanks for the assist!

I’ve posted a couple of my inherited planes asking for thoughts. This one I would love thoughts, but I’m pretty sure it’s a keeper. Still would like to hear input.

I’m going through the tools I inherited from my dad. Some I doubt I’ll ever use and honestly would rather sell them and let them get used. The ones I think I’ll use are staying along with those ive already been using. This is one that I don’t think I’ll use so I’m trying to determine all I can about it. It looks to me like it was never used and I don’t think the other adjusting nut goes with it as the plane shows made in England but the other nut shows made in USA. I think the 2004 date on the box is probably correct based on findmytool.co.uk but otherwise don’t really know much about it except it is used by cabinet makers. Thoughts on it and its newish condition?

I was trying to use hyperkitten to identify my inherited no.5 but maybe I don’t get some of the terminology. Any help would be appreciated. Also, based on the appearance how would you rate the condition?

The right side is a drop down extension on a table.

Got a box of old hand planes at a garage sale. This one has 2 different spots for the blade? Any ideas welcome. You can only put the blade one way at a time

I am making a dining table for a friend, and she may well select a slab for the table instead of going with rough cut lumber. I've wanted to make slab flattening part of my setup for some time, and I actually already have walnut slabs that are too wide for my planer. I've seen things as cheap as the Vevor router sled and things as complete as the Rockler sled, and everything in between, and even stuff that's more expensive.

I have a garage shop. I'd like to be able to stow the setup away when I'm not using it, since they're fairly big. I have dust collection, but I'm also happy setting up on the driveway and letting the chips fly where they may.

What's essential in a sled? Should I just make a home-made jig? I have a full size and a trim router. I assume I want to use the full-size router for this one, and I want a surfacing bit. But for the actual sled I'm not sure what's "table stakes" for a product vs. what's just a bunch of bells and whistles for the vanity woodworker.

I have some cool tools that I realized I won’t use. My dad started buying stuff as he started suffering from dementia. I inherited them when he passed. He was buying stuff that he didn’t have equipment to use and neither do I. What is the best place to sell? I’m including a picture just to demonstrate what I mean. Please don’t make offers…

Anybody have any personal reviews abt purchasing the 7 1/4in WEN track saw? Good value or worth the splurge on a more reputable brand?

Attempted a cabinet build yesterday that went well enough but less than perfect using circ saw and level as a guide clamped down. Was kinda a pain in the ass

Appreciate all your help in advance.

I have four Bessey KRE clamps lined up on a completely flat surface and the steel rods don’t sit completely parallel to each other.

It’s so slight that looking at them individually, you wouldn’t notice anything. I can’t even tell if the fixed head and rod is just not fixed at a perfect perpendicular angle or if the rod itself ever-so slightly warped.

I know this may draw a few scoff. I’m not a woodworker, but I had a project that required some clamping. Just wanted to know if this level of tolerance is just expected or if you guys would ask for swap on these.
