Thanks, Steve! Glad you liked it!

Ayooo!

Thanks for watching!

Rise from your grave. 🧟‍♂️

A board of that size for 5 dollars??? Really?

Not much, apparently, lol.

@@SeasquatchWoodshop lol

All I saw was that pretty grain. 🤩

Anything that's going to have some food contact I dunk in mineral oil for about 10 minutes or until I stop seeing bubbles. It drips dry overnight, then I give it 2 coats of Walrus Oil™️. Hope that helps! 🤙

Thank you, my friend! 🙏 It's all worth it when you see those colors pop!

I know what you mean! Lol. Hard to choose a favorite, and that oak frame really is an eye-catcher. But the uniqueness of the last frame really got my vote. Glad you liked them! They were a lot of fun to make.

I think I make too many to hide, lol. You're definitely not the only one. And I'm glad you liked it!

Thanks, Andrew!

Had a similar comment about this recently. I can't speak specifically to how it compares with the DeWalt, but in the video, I did compare it to my corded router which was just a bit quieter than the planer. That being said, other commenters have mentioned that the helical cutters tend to make planers noticeably less noisy, which the Grizzly has. So, if your DeWalt has the straight blade cutters, it's probably safe to say that the Grizzly would be a bit quieter. I hope that helps, m'friend. 🤙

You betcha!

I've had so many awesome suggestions about making this roller system work, and this is no exception. I'm planning on making my flattening jig a more permanent fixture in the shop, and when that happens, I'm going to compile all of these commenter notes and apply it to the sled 2.0. Great idea! Thank you! 🙏

Hey, you got it! I don’t know whether you saw the section at around 3:30, but I compared the planer to my corded Bosch router with regard to the overall volume of noise it generates. And according to the free app I was using, it was convinced that the planer was just a bit louder. Just to give you an idea. I’m not really sure how that compares to the DeWalt, but you’ll need hearing protection either way, lol. Hope that helps! 🤙

​@@SeasquatchWoodshopI saw it, thank you! From what I've heard, read and seen helical cutterheads are quieter than straight knives when it comes noise and amps pulling!

Ya know, I’ve heard that too, actually. 🤔Makes sense when you consider how much surface area is striking the material at once with those straight blades. Well I hope it’s an upgrade in that case, lol. Let us know how it does!

forgot to mention, you can just put 1mm shims and clamp it all down so its pre-level as is. no measuring and fiddling needed. Just need to make sure you drill the wheel mount holes dead center.

Seems obvious when you put it like that, lol. I appreciate the suggestion, homie. Maybe I can give this a go on my next iteration. I’ll give ya a shoutout.

Really glad you found it helpful. I hesitate to go more “granular” on certain videos. I just know that that’s what I would want to know if I’m looking to buy some new equipment. Hopefully the right audience will find it useful as well. As for the planer, you’ve probably seen in other replies that I still use the thing all the time, and the finish it leaves is still great. There might be one cutter insert that’s ready to be rotated, but otherwise and I haven’t done a thing with it besides keeping chips cleared out, etc. Congrats on the new machine and thank you for the kind words! 🤙

That’s a solid idea! There have been some other commenters that have brought up a “down draft” system for something like this, but what you mentioned sounds even more effective. I work full time so making content really isn’t something I get to do a lot of, but I’d eventually like to do a follow up video on this to experiment with some of these ideas. Thanks for watching and for the informed suggestions! 🤙

My pleasure! 😃

I’m tellin’ ya! It’s a great machine and I’ve had zero problems with it since I got it. I still use it often. I hear that if you go the DeWalt route, you also need to invest in the aftermarket Byrd helical cutter head to get it dialed in. But that’s two investments I’d rather not make personally. Let me know how you like it and thank you for the kind words, homie!

I really wanted the wheels to work so the sled would have been super low-friction when in use, but it just wasn't happening and I had to cut my losses. Maybe I'll take another crack at it one day. And I'm glad you liked it! I hope you end up with a functioning final product, haha. Good luck!

Thanks, I'm away in about 6or 7 days then I'll get on and build one just like yours minus the wheels and use plenty of wax I'd think that I would be able to control it better. But anyway thanks for the reply, i look forward to seeing more videos 👍🙌

Thanks, Bill! It was definitely an experiment.

She’s used it more than I thought she would, haha.

These were all a lot of fun to make. Wish I could do things like this more often, but it takes a lot of time with all the details. Thank you for the kind words and I’m glad you got some value from it!

I can’t say I’m like a lot of woodworkers on UA-cam, lol. I make plenty of errors and I’m just learning to roll with them. I just hope viewers can find it informative. 🤙

I mean, it’s still a jump. Almost twice the price depending on sales and shipping, etc. That being said, I’ve definitely been considering it as the next upgrade, lol.

Hey, Gary. Thank you for the kind words, my friend. I hope that solution works out for you. I’m considering doing an update on this design where I add a downdraft table to the bottom to help with dust collection. So keep an eye out for that. Take care and happy holidays! 🤙

Hey, Rudy. I measured those blocks and they came out to 3-3/4" wide by 5" long and 3/4" thick. If you're using some harder wood, I wouldn't say you'd even need to make them quite that big. I just wanted more surface area for frames to rest against for stability, but I don't think I needed it. Hope that helps.

I think I found the one you're talking about, and they do look identical! Do you know for sure if that's just a white-labeled version of the G0940? If so, that's definitely a steal! Although, I'm not sure if I'm bearing some bad news or not, but the actual Grizzly model is on sale until the 23rd as well! It's $675 US vs $819 US for the ForestWest. Is it too late to cancel? Lol. Would the shipping be astronomical for a Grizzly up where you are? It says it's 60 bucks US where I am in the states. Either way, it still sounds like you got a smokin' deal, my friend! Please report back and let us know how that baby compares! 🤘

@@SeasquatchWoodshop Yup, did some digging and it’s the same chassis and everything. Just slapped a different paint and sticker scheme onto it. Another company, Craftex, does the same thing. These things roll off the line in Taiwan or China naked, get decked out in different branded attire and sent on their way lol. Sadly Grizzly kind of leaves us Canucks out in the wind with shipping. It’s hilariously expensive to start. I priced it out, and it was almost $300 CDN more at the current sale price once shipping was estimated. And that didn’t factor in duty fees and Canadian taxes once it hit the border either. Yikes! And they want no part in the process of shipping to Canada. Getting a Grizzly product here is an absolute dog’s breakfast. You’d think they were smuggling weapons grade plutonium into North Korea lol 🤷‍♂️

Damn it, sounds like you're tellin' me we need to start smuggling these things, lol. Well, I hope the ForestWest performs for you, homie! For what it's worth, I've used the Grizzly a ton since I got it, and I still haven't had to rotate any of the cutter head inserts yet. Beautiful finish with zero tear out. Let us know how it does! 👊

Yeah, I had read about it becoming listed on CITES earlier this year. Makes me sad. It's a beautiful wood. I'm wondering how that's going to affect buying and selling going forward. Cocobolo is also listed as an "Appendix II" on CITES and you can still purchase it from suppliers where I am. So hopefully it's just to prevent any further damage from illegal logging and what not. We'll shall see.

Absolutely my thoughts as well. I’m still impressed with how the inserts have held up. I use it pretty often, but the cutters are still sharp. I am getting one little consistent line that shows up on the finish, so I probably have one cutter that could be rotated by now, but overall the value is amazing. That’s interesting about the restricter you mentioned. I honestly hadn’t even ran into that issue because I usually take pretty shallow passes most of the time. And I do flip the board often as well when making passes. But if I ever need to hog off a bunch of material, I’ll know what to look for. Thanks for the tip and for sharing your experience! 🤙

That's very helpful info and I appreciate hearing about your experience with super hard wood

Hey, thanks! And I appreciate the feedback on the music. I try to be mindful not to annoy the audience with a weird music choice, haha. Glad you liked it!

Haha, thank you! Got 2 more of these videos on the way so keep an eye out! 🤙

You can see I really tried to make it more complicated than it needed to be at first, lol. Glad it was helpful, though. Hope it works out for ya. Another commenter a while back pointed out that using a “downdraft” table for the bottom of the jig would help the dust collection issue as well.

It’s a super small space! If I don’t keep it straightened up, I’ll be walking on scrap the whole time! Lol.

Hey, you betcha! I know it's something that I personally care about because I have neighbors in close proximity, so I figured others might have the same concern. I'm actually using it today, believe it or not. Still performs awesomely. I haven't even needed to rotate any of the helical cutter inserts yet. They stay sharp for a long, long time. Glad it helped, homie! Thanks for reachin' out!

@@SeasquatchWoodshop cool thank you for the response. Looks like I’ll be buying the same one. Cheers. 👊🏻

Thanks! I thought it turned out real well. I'm considering doing a video on another Molkky set, but fancier!

I tried shorts first, but they just slid down and turned into a neck warmer. 🤷‍♂️

@@SeasquatchWoodshop 🤣

Hey, Eddie. I have actually heard that before, but haven't tried it yet. Still planning on bolting it to a rolling cart situation. If I do get some noticeable changes in performance after that, I may report back. Thanks for the tip!

It really is. There's also bad reviews on almost everything you look at, and it can be hard discerning what are consistent issues and what's just a manufacturing fluke. I usually look for patterns. If there are more than a handful of commenters mentioning a specific problem, I'm pretty much convinced. I personally haven't notice the cutter head planing out of square at all. You'd notice even in the caliper measurements I took in the video. I don't know if that's any consolation, but I'm pretty happy with it!

Haha, I've been waiting for someone to notice the ridiculous titles. My ideas dried up faster than I expected, but you've given me some inspiration! 🤔

Hey, thanks! Glad you got something out of it. And yeah, if you’ve got a solid video idea, get it out there!

Hey, Orion! Thanks so much for the support and the kind words. It's still pretty new to all of the UA-cam stuff, so I'm learning as I go as well. At this point, I'm really just trying to make things that I enjoy. So, I'm glad you're finding it entertaining and informative. Good luck with your new shop and welcome aboard!

Well! Another commenter actually suggested using a "down draft" system with regard to the dust collection dilemma. Essentially, the surface you're setting your work piece on will have a bunch of small perforations that will allow dust to fall through that leads to a funneled inlet for a shop vac! I haven't tried it yet, but I do recall seeing it in related videos and I think it definitely works better than no dust collection, haha. Hope that helps and thanks for the support, Lucas!

Not a bad idea! I wondering if adding some bearing wheels to the rails instead of to the sled itself would be easier to level in my case. 🤔

I love it (still)! Although, the 940 should be a helical head, which is the main reason that I got it. But I will say that I saw some postings for it saying it was a spiral head, so it's a bit confusing. I haven't considered building in/out feed tables for it. My space is pretty small, as you could see by my videos. I've never had a whole lot of trouble with snipe beyond the normal amount you could see measured. I will eventually build some kind of modular cart situation so I can keep it tucked away but have it on a sturdy base and ready to go when I need it. As of right now, it's still pretty much the same amount of setup every time I need to use it, lol. Anyways, I hope you like it! And thanks for the support, my friend!

Nice! Not entirely surprised by that, honestly. I'm sure there's some level of variance between each model and also the ambient temperature in the area where it ends up probably matters some so degree too, I'd bet. Did you just leave it there, or did to feel the need to attempt to reduce it further?

@@SeasquatchWoodshop I gave it 10 mins and mounted it to a better base instead of moving it around. I need to get a better straight edge to fine tune it better but for now I just cut off the 2-3" of snipe as waste.

Yeah, that's frustrating. Sorry you're dealing with that. If you can't get it dialed in with your next straight edge, it almost might be worth rolling the dice on returning it and seeing how the next one performs. Otherwise as you said, you'll either be wasting the ends of your work pieces or constantly using the longer sacrificial piece method. I wish you luck, homie.

Anderson! Thanks for the support, my friend! Great question on the fan assist. But honestly, I don't know. The dust collection on the unit is pretty decent, but you will start to get some chip coverage across the table with a big batch of boards, etc. I keep my compressor sprayer handy while I'm making passes and just give it a shot every so often to keep things clear. That being said, I did scour through the manual, and it does mention that it recommends 150 CFM AT THE DUST PORT. Meaning, not the overall CFM rating of your dust collector, but taking into account hose length, wyes and other openings, so on. So given that, if the Oliver's recommended CFM rating "at the dust port" is less than 150, you could probably extrapolate that the Grizzly doesn't have the fan assist. Seems like if you got the cash, the Oliver sounds like a pretty sweet option as well! I hope that helps, homie. Take care!

Yeah, I have tried the tape you mentioned before, but it always seems to get torn off when sliding against a cast iron bed. But for this application it actually might work a bit better since it's just wood on wood. Thanks for the recommendation. 👍

The pressure is always on this time of year, haha. But this jig should make things a little faster for you if you're doing end grain boards. So much nicer than planing by hand. Glad it helped! Merry Christmas, Anke!
