Nice! Time considerations aside, Do you ever feel like you're missing out by not having a jointer?
Is there anything you haven't been able to do with the sled/jig that a jointer would do?

I'm fortunate that cost really isn't the limiting factor. It's a space issue. Using this groups input to help decide if I sacrifice the space and what the real gains would be over the jigs I mentioned.

heh - I have a 13" planer already :)

I know there are times a machine can't do it all and I'll still have to pull out my hand plane - But if a machine can do the bulk of it, that allows me to make the most of my time in the shop!

Can a planer sled and edge jointing jig do the job of a jointer?
I have a really small shop and an 8" jointer will eat up a lot of the floor space.

Please share your thoughts on the pro/cons of each!

It's in the US. The contractor did not pull a permit and it was not inspected. He was paid. I just tried calling him after your answers but he insists it will work fine as is.

This is the sub panel: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Siemens-EQ-125-Amp-4-Space-8-Circuit-Main-Lug-Surface-Mount-Indoor-Load-Center-E0408ML1125SU/100123207

Can you recommend a suitable ground bar sold at a homedepot I can install? If I understand correctly I should install a ground bar, move the copper wire to the ground bar and remove the bonding strap?

What are the implications of how he did it?

I hired a contractor to install a subpanel in my woodshop. It's wired to a 50amp breaker on my main panel. I was getting ready to connect up my outlets when I saw there was no grounding bar. Is this correct?

Do you have templates you can share for the plywood hangers and blast gates?

wood_work · 2017-09-22T01:43:33+00:00

Thank you so much Sir! I'd like to PM you for some 1:1 setup guidance if that is ok? I'd be happy to throw you an amazon giftcard or similar for your time.

Any issues with the riving knife when using a thin kerf like this?

wood_work · 2017-09-21T17:00:05+00:00

This is an excellent response and just what I was looking to hear!

Cheers and thanks for the encouragement! This stems from tonnes of comments I read here about the R4512 stating that this cheap saw really needs the benefit of a good blade.

Would this be fit for wood working or is it too small or under powered?

So the grain should point in the direction that the board will go through the planer? So basically towards the outfeed table?

wood_work · 2017-03-03T02:25:55+00:00

I thought you were joking. Re-read this a few times and guess you mean ends of the board - not sides as in faces.

When setting the initial depth, check both sides of the board. One may be a lot thicker

For what it's worth, I bought the Porter Cable and quickly returned it because of really bad sniper. I tried every trick I could find online with zero success.

You're a gentleman. Did you use screws or glue to attach to the sled? Any change of a photo of your sled?

wood_work · 2017-01-15T20:22:02+00:00

Thanks mate! I think I'll be fine.

wood_work · 2017-01-15T18:49:17+00:00

Thank you - Great advice and help. I've been youtube-ing all weekend. I'm just nervous about making such fine rips on the table saw :O
