Stack your lumber with 1/2"-thick strips of scrap lumber between each piece, then direct air flow over the pile. If you can set things up in a heated space, drying time is surprisingly quick. I've had micro lumber drop from 25% moisture content to 10% (and ready to build with) in less than a month.Web

A drill press, like the WEN 4208, is an upright, fixed machine that travels on the z-axis to drill holes. The bit is interchangeable so you can change the diameter of the holes, and there is even an option to cut square holes with a special bit. It's a hand-operated machine in which you can control how deep you plunge the hole, and how much ...Web

The main difference between a drill press and a mill is the axes of cutting movement and accuracy. Milling machines have at least 3 axes of movement (X, Y & Z) and are much more precise. Drill presses are used to drill vertical (Z-axis) holes in workpieces. Here, the cutting tool only makes contact with the workpiece on its tip.Web

Crosscut a 4 1 ⁄ 4 " piece off one end. The longer piece holds your dowels flat on the table, as shown in the photo. The shorter piece forms the basis for the second jig, which holds dowels vertically for drilling into their ends. To complete the vertical jig, cut a 1 1 ⁄ 2 x3x3" block, clamp it to the back of the 4 1 ⁄ 4 " piece, and ...Web
