Shop Fox W1732 Review: Shop Fox W1732 Adjustable Roller Stand. An absolute waste of money. Poorly constructed and rollers aren't even on the same plane. Once it set at jointer or table saw height it is super unstable. It's stable at 24" height, but what use it that in a woodshop? 2 ... Read more »

Shop Fox W1763 Review: SHOP FOX W1763 2-1/2-Horsepower Shaper. Got it in February ... going back some time this week. It's not a good deal even at half the already low price. Here's how it went.Wired backwards so the rotation was wrong relative to switch setting. No big deal but sloppy. Some shipping damage that Amazon did real well with making up for.Fence looks almost home made. Ratchets with heated and bent handles to tighten the fence independent adjustments. PIA to use and really a joke. Independent sides are not exactly parallel to one another which makes for bad ... Read more »

Shop Fox W1666 Review: Shop Fox W1666 2 HP 1550 CFM Dust Collector. I bought mine about 3 years ago and have been very happy with it.Assembly went well, except it was missing a square rubber gasket at the top of the blower housing. I called the distributor, and a new one arrived within a few days. I ran 6" duct work throughout my shop, with 4" drops to my tools. The blower provides plenty of suction for all my needs. I also installed a trash can pre-separator for my planer, since it would fill the bags really fast ... Read more »

Shop Fox M1042 Review: SHOP FOX M1042 24-Inch 3 in 1 Sheet Metal Machine. If you want a multi purpose tool to do the things that this one does, go look for the instruction manual on google first because Amazon has limited info. For this kind of an investment, read up. I was hoping for a shear that had better than a 28 gauge capability since the brake and roller are rated for thicker gauges. I'm having trouble maintaining the angle of the brake blades at 90 deg. bending 26 ga. metal because it slips after using. The metric nuts and wrench ... Read more »

Shop Fox W1706 Review: Shop Fox W1706 14-Inch Bandsaw With Cast Iron Wheels. As a mechanical engineer I consider the set up instructions very limited, somewhat vague and confusing. Assembly and set up was very lenghtly, however once completed I consider the saw to be a great asset in my small shop. Prior to purchasing I researched band saws extensivly and I would recommend a Shop Fox as a very good general purpose saw. 5 ... Read more »
Shop Fox W1758
Shop Fox W1758 Review: Shop Fox W1758 Wood Lathe With Cast Iron Legs And Digital Readout. I love the variable speed, but the low speed is too fast - and getting faster. It started at around 600 rpm, but now does not get below 1000. Ordered a new belt to get the speed down (as the belt wears and gets narrower, the speed goes up. The motor seems to have the power it needs, so stalling is minimal.I don't have a big band saw, so my bowl planks are very out of round and chunky from the chain saw when I start, but I only had ...
