Hi Corey

"same bits that Sommerfield is selling?" I'm not to sure, the same color (yellow) but they look more like the ones you would see in H.D. (American Vermont. I think) , they are sharp and cut well and do last.

Bj

Here's one for you have you used a bit with a sq. bearing on it ?

I know pie are sq. but bearings are round but in this case the bearing are sq.
They are great no burns marks or nasty bearing marks on the stock.

Yeah, alot of these "contractor" grades are pretty much the same thing probably coming out of the same factory. I buy alot of the Ryobi branded ones at Home Depot and I have bought a bunch of these yeller ones from Menards real cheap. I was told by Pat Warner that there are only a handful of manufactures of router bits and many make these "contractor grades" sold by Grizzly, Ryobi, Porter Cable, Wood tek, Woodcraft house brand, Rockler house brand etc. Some manufactures like Eagle make some for other manufacturers... just depends on the tooling they have. So I don't get too crazy with router bit manf.. most of them are good, even the cheapies. When I need a real good router bit like spirals or some big honker I usually support Freud since Charles does such a good job in the forums. I always buy Freud forstener bits I love them and I use nothing but Freud blades as well for this reason, plus there blades kick butt on 100.00 blades in my opinion!

Hi

Now that one should get you a new blade from Charles

or to say it should

Now we just need to get Charles M. to read it

LOL
He drops in about 7:00 to 8:00 AM ever day but not on the weekends,no show then.

**challagan** · 04-23-2007, 10:12 PM

LOL... it's true though. He gives excellent CS in the forums. Whether you have a problem with a blade or having problems with your cuts he can help you out. I use nothing but these two blades anymore: I got this one for 43.00 not long ago on Amazon and they were as low as 23.00 for a few days.

And the thin kerf which I just went ordered my second one and received. $43.00 as well.

Awesome blades!! I still need to get one of those glue line rippers. I also have a Freud laminate/melamine blade. You just don't have to spend wads of dollars for good tablesaw blades.

Corey

P.S. Harry, I apologize for taking your thread in another direction, I need to watch that.

Joe, the flowers on the white jewellery box lid were a decal applied on top of a couple of coats of high gloss white followed by two or three coats of high gloss clear lacquer.

Joe Lyddon · 04-25-2007, 12:43 AM

Thanks Harry... I know of a guy that could do that using Marquetry... I thought I just might meet another person that could do it... awesome work...

Nice touch to your box...

Thank you...

Knowing just ONE guy with such skills is as much as one can hope for in a lifetime Joe.

Joe, after viewing Jerry Cousin's work, I can only repeat that no one can hope to know more than one person with such skills in a lifetime, his work is beyond praise.
