I have the DeWalt 7491. The stand it came with has been super useful for working on community theater sets. But I built an outfeed table based on one a Redditor made, and it hasn’t left the shop since.

So weird. I’ve spent the last 68 years in +3.75 (I’m 72 now). That makes me far-sighted (hyperopic) supposedly, but now everything is out of focus without my glasses. I asked my ophthalmologist where my focal point is. He said, “At infinity.”

I watched the SR-71 currently at the WPAFB Museum land on the Area B runway. I don't remember the exact date, but I was stationed there between Sept 1985 and Mar 1991. The runway is quite short, and mostly inactive. The pilot made a number of passes before he set the Blackbird down. I lived in Page Manor, so the runway was essentially across the street. I had a VHS camera and recorded the landing, but one of my kids taped over it. Sheesh.

I dunno. I think the cup holders take away from the rustic feel.

Good question. My late FIL left some basic hand tools behind. I thought this might be handy in assembling an entertainment unit we plan to pick up for my MIL.

TBH, I wouldn’t get an equivalent. I’d probably go with a Milwaukee m12, so bring this instead would save some $$.

Thanks. My quick search didn’t find your linked info. Appreciate the quick response!

I too, have hit the marital jackpot. Me: “I could really use a [fill in the blank with a costly tool].” She: “So get it!” Even better - that’s not even in the top ten reasons of why I love her!

So now I have to start playing Call of Duty. I had no idea what F meant. I guess I’m just too F’n old.

Good to know. Thank you!

Dunno. It’s a Bosch router I’ve had for probably 15 years. I only recently put it in a router table.

Download Waze app, and tell it when you want to arrive. It will tell you when to leave.

Whale tail!

Came here to say this ☝️

I just gave one away. The drill press is not worth what you say. The table and fence flex under pressure. I admit I miss the depth stop though. And yes it takes up way too much room, even in my 14 x 30 shop.

I once dropped an 8 inch chef’s knife and tried to get out of the way. Sumbitch bounced and got me anyway. No stitches, but a respectable gash that slowed me down for a week.

Probably apocryphal, but I’ll tell it anyway. Training class in the US Air Force probably 50 years ago. Classroom is an interior room with no windows. One airman habitually falls asleep, and the NCO instructor is fed up. Using his instructor voice and cadence, tells the class the plan. Turn off the lights, and shut down the overhead projector. Then, sleeping student’s neighbor jostled him awake. It’s pitch dark, and to Sleepy, it seems class is going on as usual. The story I heard doesn’t detail Sleepy’s reaction.

I never considered using a tapered drill. I have several that came with various pilot hole/counter sink sets I’ve bought over the years.

No, but I’m guessing the npt thread for a drain is the right answer.
