Hi Mike,

SWEET!! Congrats again on the new TS.
I gotta agree with ya 'bout the insert(s). Some can be a bit tricky to get flat. Nice looking planer too.

Ed, the pics are back up. Sometimes certain sites do have a "maintance" time and they are down for an hr or so.

Congrats on your new "TOYS'" Mike. I know you will enjoy them. Thanks for the great pics and review, Harry would be pleased as I am. Now we need to see some projects (with pics) off these new toys. Enjoy.

Going to be a while before I get another project going Doc. The shop is totally torn apart right now. That big saw takes up a lot of room, so I'm re-arranging everything.
I do plan on building a tool chest. Pics to come Harry.

Congratulations on the nice setup. Wouldn't take much for me to get jealous.

Default Rocking mobile base

I finally got a chain fall so I could hoist that 400 pound monster off the mobile base. After cutting some triangle pieces of 3/4" ply and putting them in the corners of the base, I let the saw down on it and, it rocked. No change. Well heck. I then put some thick felt table pads on the feet and let down on the base. It rocked.
Now the frustration sets in. Looking under the cabinet, I noticed the feet are on some rather thin sheet metal in the corners of the cabinet, so I cut some 1x2" oak stock to fit in the corners of the base, and have the corners of the cabinet sit on those. That worked. It sits nice and tight.
It would have prevented a lot of trouble if I had just taken the plastic feet off in the first place.

Oh, did I mention that when I was at the toy store, I also bought this?
Hello Mike: are you planning on attaching the out-feed table to the saw? If so, any thoughts on how to do it?
