Got an email from Tyler over at Bendpak/Quickjack. They are holding a pretty significant sale on Quickjacks right now. Basically, it’s $250 off both models and free shipping. For the record, I actually have one of these – the BL-5000SLX to be exact. I use it at the racetrack as a sort of mobile lift.

An Affordable Track Saw Option

While most people in woodworking tend to emphasize the table saw in their shop, I’ve always put my focus on the track saw. In my Texas shop, dust collection is the key reason behind this. In Hawaii, however, dust collection isn’t as big of a concern. Space, however, is… So, with no real room for a table saw at the moment I’ve called on the track saw once again. In Texas I have a Festool TS55 and a number of different length guide rails. The saw itself cost around $600 while a single length of 55″ guide rail runs around …
