And a good belt sander 
If you are going to keep making boxes it's time to get a planner, the Dewalt one is a great one plus it's FUN to make your own box stock ....
I know your a fan of the Dewalt tools but also check out the reviews on this one http://www.amazon.com/Makita-2012NB-...1663870&sr=1-1
Something about taking a 3/4" board down to 3/8" thick and seeing all the chips fly Fun stuff ...
I have the 12" Grizzly one but I would like to have one of the new ones,good reviews on many of them, but the next one will be a 18" one when I can find one at the right price. |
I have the Grizzly G0555 band saw... works great... BUT it's very hard to get two 3/8" pieces out of a 3/4" piece... even though the blade width is very small, compared to a 1/8" TS kerf, the slightest wave in cutting makes the thinnest piece less than 3/8" and forces the other piece to be slightly bigger.
It's best to start out with thicker wood... Still better than planing!
That Makita looks like a COOL planer! ... good brand too!!
