Hi
The secret to proper cuts on the stock in your woodworking projects is to
use the right saw blade. Of course, the saw blade that you use should be
sharp
enough to cut cleanly through the stock without burning or tearing the wood.

Is there a difference between a regular router table and a horizontal

Sounds close to a rotomatic. The rotomatic come with 3 extensions,
6, 12, and 18-inch. Also, one can order the extensions separately.

Pin holes are nothing more than little holes that are predrilled to carry a
pin that you insert into the hole. You insert these pins in the vertical
uprights of the structure carrying the shelves. Usually the pins are set in
the front and back of the outside verticals at the same height.
is this working?

Hi John,
Yes, the regular router table the router is mounted under the table with the
bit being perpendicular the table top. The horizontal table the router is
mounted at the back so the bit is parallel to the table top.

for you who have air compressors, you might like the idea of an air
nailer that one holds in the palm of the hand. Harbor Freight is
selling one for $39. It handles most sizes of nailers, delivers
about 1000 blows per minute and can be run with 100 pounds of pressure.

I don't know but I would assume so. The chain would make a lot of
indentations in the surface. I think it would also depend on the wood. A
softer like pine would probably have much deeper dings than oak. Although
the oak would still get banged up.

I suggest you first move the electrical outlets up the wall so you have
access to them.
As they are generally on a stud tracing it up higher should be easy.

Robert, you can remove the plug in the sink trap by turning it counter
