Wall-mounted mud collector is a cut price
Should you hold hose runs comparatively brief, a compact, wall-mounted mud collector like this may function the only real collector in a small store, with out occupying valuable ground house. Additionally they work nice as an addition to a bigger collector, letting you keep away from operating hoses throughout the store ground. This 1-hp unit from Powertec is analogous in measurement, filtration, and options to the wall-mounted collectors I reviewed favorably in FWW #286. At simply $260, it beats all of them on value.

Cheap sawblade is surprisingly good
I personal a few thick, high-end table-saw blades, which ship clear cuts within the hardest supplies. However not each woodworker has a robust cupboard noticed like I do, nor the finances for blades priced properly above $100 every. Enter Freud’s new Wooden Demon Final Normal Function Noticed Blade (merchandise no. D1040UX). At simply $50, this 10-in. by 40-tooth mixture blade delivered surprisingly clear cuts in my exams. Its super-thin kerf is particularly suited to saws with much less horsepower, permitting them to deal with thicker hardwoods. Go to DiabloTools.com.
