Great deal I guess… but I’m not so happy with the blades
There is no doubt that you get a lot of blade for the money with this combo pack and I’m happy to have the blades for some applications. However, I’ve been disapointed with the performance of the 80 tooth blade.
I’ve had [...]

Freud LU98R010 10″ 80T Superior Laminate/Wood Blade
Outstanding blade for cutting plywood and melamine. Left absolutely no tear-out on bottom of either material. However, I am curious as to why Frued labled the blade as only “good” on cross-cutting wood. The cut is so smooth it feels like it was sanded. [...]

Freud TK004 5-3/8-Inch, love it

love it
I put this in my ryobi 18 volt. It now works great. the cuts are so smooth and effortless. The cut is so smooth it looks like I sanded it with 150 grit. I think that I’m going to buy the diablo 24 tooth for christmas gifts for the men [...]

DELTA AP100 ShopMaster, Great for home remodeling

Great for home remodeling
I use this air cleaner when remodeling homes because of its portability. I set the unit on the floor so that it is blowing outside through a door, or sometimes on sawhorses and out a window. Great for clearing the air, including paint fumes. This unit DOES NOT have to be mounted [...]

Kreg KMS7303 30-Inch Jig, Good product; somewhat fussy

Good product; somewhat fussy
I purchased the Kreg Jig & Fixture bar to build a panel cutting jig for my Rockwell table saw. The Kreg bar comes with a series of threaded holes along the bar into which nylon set screws can be inserted. This feature allows a snug fit in all miter slots. [...]

Kreg KMS7801 Standard, Track and stop are..

Track and stop are excellent products
I’m very happy with my Kreg track and stop system. Setting up your miter saw with stop system is mandatory in my opinion. The old tape measure/pencil mark/chase the mark and make a cut method is such a waste of time I’m amazed when I [...]

Best small sander & tough enough.
I bought one of these Makita sanders some years ago. I use it for finish work on the boat, and or various house projects, like the outdoor furniture. It does a wonderful job, is light weight, and easy to control. I have used it with paper from [...]

Kreg SML-C250B-250, Thanks again Kreg!

Thanks again Kreg!
These washer head screws are fantastic. They clamp the parts tightly without splitting the wood. They run in fast and easy. Wherever you have a pocket hole application, or wherever you don’t mind a visible screw head (not countersunk, although they could be counterbored), use a washer head screw for [...]

Best of both bases, but lacking….
The first router I bought was a Ryobi R160 1 1/2 hp with 1/4″ collet. I was just getting into woodworking and trying to save money. I upgraded to the 693 about six months ago and overall am pleased but there are things I would change if I [...]

Kreg KMS7712 24-Inch Top, Outside the box

Outside the box
I mounted this top track on the outfeed side of my router table fence. It does not interfere with the movement of the featherboards or the wood because it is slightly recessed from the face of the fence.
Works great with the Kreg production stop to serve as a stop block for cutting [...]
