Beechwood Chip Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Ditto for my old Peltor yellow headphones. Battery door held on with tape, working fine. It's my new 3M Tekk ones that died. I've also had bad experiences with other yellow look-alikes. I like the Howard Leight headphones that I got on Marc's recommendation. I only use them with the audio cable - FM is lousy in my basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrolan Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 This seems like a deal to me... Home Depot has a 4-pack of Bessey F-style clamps for under $20. It's two 6in and two 12in. Seems like more small clamps are always handy. I had to grab a couple packs even though I'm normally Jorgensen for clamps. http://www.homedepot.com/p/BESSEY-Clutch-Clamp-Set-4-Piece-GSCC4PK/205086977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I've got a Porter Cable 7518 in my router table, a Bosch 1617EVS, and the plunge base that came with my table saw which is mounted in a Jet router lift on my table saw extension table. 2 router table system going on, but not sure about keeping it that way, (taking it off to do routing is a pain). A porter cable single speed trim router (meh), I want the Festool MFK700 for doing bindings on guitar bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric. Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Lowest AZ price ever after clipping coupon. Just bought a pair myself. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013092CS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also, 20% off other 3M hearing protection... http://www.amazon.com/gp/coupon/extra-20-off-select-3m-hearing/A3SGX9KZ6PXSUS?t=slickdeals&tag=slickdeals&ascsubtag=1002c2060f06478e84ee3b543e9fc5e9 Well boys...save your money and pass on these. They fit great and block out the noise well, and the AM/FM reception is fine, but they're not loud at all either on radio or with the ipod...and I like loud. These don't even get close to a satisfying volume level. I'll keep them because any music is better than no music, but it's pretty disappointing. Be warned.

AstroDave Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Eric either you got a bad set or I don't like music as loud as you. I used mine yesterday and it was more than loud enough and in fact I turned it down. I'd send yours back and get another set just to be sure. P.S.

Wouldn't there be something better all in one at that range then and you wouldn't have to worry about the extra piece getting lost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davewyo Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Right now I'm about to order some exotic hardwoods 1/8"x3"x24" for some router-based inlay like Marc demonstrates. I have not purchased exotic woods before, nor have I ordered wood off of the internet. It doesn't seem to me like I have many options. I checked Rockler and Woodcraft for by-the-piece lumber, and Rockler seems better($) for the species I want. The question is; "Does Rockler (or anyone) ever offer deals on their whole line-up of exotics so if you wanted a variety pack you could get one cheaper than the full retail price?" Alternatively, "Is there a Black Friday special that I'm not seeing which would give me X% off." I see where they are offering free shipping with a $20+ order, and that is not inconsequential considering my budget, but I feel like $100 for ten 1/8" "shingles", some scroll saw blades, and some veneer tape is little excessive (or at least out of the comfort zone). Like I say...It's all new to me. Is there an online exotics retailer I should know about? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
