Looks like they made a home made rod holder, been searching and can not find anything like that. Shouldn't be hard to do. Most planers have a pair of threaded holes for attachments (depth guides, etc) so it's really only a case of attaching the correct size bolt to the end of your guide rod. That s...

You'd do far better to get that one serviced and spend the leftovers buying some quality bits than to spend the...

Is it possible to use those files from someone else's computer? Ie copy them and then install them manually? I would imagine so. I'm not sure if Dan would be happy about that, though, which is why I didn't suggest it. Obviously, if someone with a working copy could find the cached files and acciden...

Since others dont seem to be having trouble, does anyone have any experience trouble shooting snocad on Mac? Possibly. What version of OSX are you running? snocad was working fine or me under Snow Leopard, but is busted under Mountain Lion - I need to install / update Java, I guess, but I'm rather ...

Perhaps a long straight edge would help you see the bow as you're clamping, and allow you to bend the stack closer to straight as you go. Clamp from the center outwards, of course, and I think you'll find the stack is fairly flexible when you just have the center clamped. I clamp direct to a builde...
