Re-the dado "box", I think when I'm in the mood that I'll turn it into a box. Sorry about the poor repeated joke, I wondered why Mike didn't find it funny when I told it to him on Skype!

LOL....no worries there Harry on the joke, I enjoyed them! Looking forward to that box.

Corey

P.S. was the brother in law drinking right out of the bottle or appreciating the new gift he just received

Hi Corey

I know you have more guts than I when it comes to the table saw , just use the table saw and resaw it down to 3/8" -1/2" on the table saw you don't need to use a band saw to resaw saw but it takes cuts and a tall fence.
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 personally like pine... was weaned on it. Some people hate it, I would much rather use it than that damn splintery oak. For hardwood i prefer to work with about anything other than Oak

even rock maple any day!

Also wish I could find some 1/2 Cedar to use. Nothing but 3/4 on that too.

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!!

Harry, It didnt register with me. I am guessing I had a concussion.

**bobj3** · 06-12-2007, 04:48 PM

Thanks for the link Doug

BUT 3 phz. sucks for the home shop

and a new motor would add a arm and a leg to the price

Every so often the exfactory site will have hobbyist size machines, but mostly its production shop stuff. Still fun to look at some of the industry machines

**challagan** · 06-12-2007, 08:46 PM

No BJ, I won't ever resaw on the table saw again, I am just not comfortable with that. One of these days I will get a planer and a jointer.... mostly to straighten and flatten box stock. Those 2 tools I can make room for and you don't need huge planers for box making. The Ridgid planer has a very good reputation as well. One of these days... but until then... I am not going to resaw on my table saw any time soon

And the Bandsaw I do not have room for at least now.

Maybe one of these days I can take over a little corner of the basement next to the door to the garage and use that little area for my bench and cabinets/ storage and use the shop area for all machinery. That way I could get more work done in the winter as well.

**bobj3** · 06-12-2007, 08:59 PM

OK Corey LOL

I know you have a spot to get your box wood from but you may want to take a peek at the site below, but don't tell your BOSS I told you about it

http://www.walllumber.com/thin.asp

You can get it via. UPS on the door step

**challagan** · 06-12-2007, 09:15 PM

Hi Bob, I have my one supplier and Wall is my next one to try. Bob got some decent wood there but it wasn't as nice as sloans but they do have some different selections available to. Sloans delivers to my door via UPS as well. Shipment arrives tomorrow

The main thing to me is if it is FLAT and straight and no cupping, it I have to run it thru the bench dog with the jointer set up I can do that and I bought one of those shear cutting straight bits from OP. Bob got some nice Birds Eye Maple from them! Steve Wall has a good reputation. I would love to get some BE Maple, Ambrosia Maple and some cedar and ash as well. Fairly good prices but with Sloans it is all 2 ft long and you can pick the width of your boards. At wall he sells it by 5 square foot bundles which is ok but I kind of like knowing what I am going to get.
