    Stop blocks on the miter saw - a southpaw like me would naturally want the block on the right because of the natural work flow.

  2. M David Brim

    Is adding an Incra fence on a SawStop worth it? Or is the accuracy of the standard SawStop fence reliable enough. I am planning on buying a SawStop and was wondering if I should also buy the incra fence.

  3. Frank Kirschner

    Can I use the same compressor for the pressure pot for resin casting as I use for pneumatic tools, or is there some additional constraint?

  4. Bob Mattison

    What is a good resource to determine tool layout, hose length and diameter for a whole shop dust collection system
