How suitable would these be in a woodworking shop running shapers, routers and planers?

I don't have anything as noisy in my shop as a planer to test, but if you turn the mic volume down they act as regular sound supressors. With shooting and then standing around while the instructor talked, there were a few times I forgot I still had them on.

I would think that normal ear defenders or mufflers would be better,these will dampen sound but are designed to shut of the amplified sound when a gun is fired for a fraction of a second then will go back to normal.I use these for shooting trap.

Don't know. I can say that I still need ear plugs while shooting indoor. The reverberation is terrible. I guess a better question is, will all the equipment be as loud as an indoor shooting range. Good luck.

You may want to try looking up the Db rating of these specific tools and comparing them to the average firearm. I'd say if they come close to a firearm, but being constantly on, these may not be enough protection. They work well for a gunshot here and there, but if I were going to shoot a fully automatic weapon, knowing how well mine work, I'd probably put earplugs in first. I agree with the other answer as well, in that you'd need earplugs for indoor shooting.Personally, from my experience in a workshop environment, I think they'd work just fine.

Scott, I never tried these in a shop but I can tell you that on the range they block out 95% of very loud gun sounds. Guns make a lot of noise and these protect my earsfrom riffle shot, shot guns and pistols all being fired at the same time. The microphones on the headset are great as one can hear when talked to.

Glad to help. Amazon is a great source for bits; there are many configurations, the dovetail being the most common one to start out with. Straight bits are good for box joints, and other bits can be used for other, more decorative joints. Again, be sure to use a piloted (bearing) bit for every one. Also, the more power your router has, the smoother the cuts will be and therefore, the more satisfactory your end results will be. I highly recommend doing some google searches for online info on how to use routers, guides, and jigs. There are plenty of online communities for woodworkers, too. Best of luck! Glad to help.

No Dewalt dw735 is a planer, incra miter v120 can be used on table saw o Router table

You might take a blade into Harbor Freight and see if the 2 blades that they sell might just fit your planer and the blades are reasonable.

It might work out just fine. I'd have to see the wire in person to tell you for sure there. Great cutters regardless.

It depends on your preferences, which may be influenced in part by your table saw. A stacked dado is nearly infinitely adjustable. I also happen to like the large cast iron surface and 500# of stability my table saw provides. A smaller saw might not be so user friendly to use. I do use a router for dados on occasion, but generally prefer the TS. A router is a super handy tool to have, so is recommended for nearly any shop....for the cost of a straight bit, why not add the capability of doing dados with the router too? Having choices is generally a nice option.

I don't believe you will have any problem. Have had this router for a few months and power is not an issue for hardwoods.

You might find it a bit noisy to be right at your workspace. It is powerful, but it's primary design is to catch woodworking dust. Not sure what you are planning to build, but for soldering fumes and the like, this might not be the best solution.

A planer is some times known as a thickness planer. Rough sawn lumber is run through a thickness planer and it produce an exact thickness. I use my planer to reduce the thickness of the lumber for a particular project. Example take a board from 3/4 to 5/8 inches. A jointer is used to remove a very small amount from one side of a board thus making it perfectly straight for gluing two boards together for a table top.

Thanks.This is helpful. I have a bandsaw that I haven't used yet, but I think I'll take a look at a jigsaw for prototyping work. I'm not quite sure what is involved in using an industrial laser. I suspect that by the time I get to that level of sophistication and expense I could probably use CNC routers or drills at a local job shop.

This machine is for surface planing,(smoothing) the flat face of the timber. It won't eliminate any dimensional problems, such as twist,or bow. It is NOT designed to surface edges, foe that you will also need a jointer

Check the operating manual for smallest size shanks the router will handle. I would also consider the job to be done. These are small bits and work well for light routing. If doing a lot I would stick with 1/4 shank bits.

I have used mine only in an office so far but feel sure they would be ideal for almost anything in a kitchen.

The design of the saw is such that a regular shop vac will never just plug in and be good to go. One could get creative and devise some sort of chip collector to keep the small amount of chips under better control. Not much to be gained but it is possible. Time would be better spent by keeping the dust collectors on the routers and sanders well known for high chip production. Experience says that of all of the chip/dust making tools in a wood shop, the scroll saw is one of the least offenders due to the small blade.

Hello Valerie, used wood and planers are a touchy subject. I recommend taking a belt sander with a rough grit and expose the surface for any hidden nails...etc. Then at least you will wear out a belt instead of a costly set of planer knives...Makitas are great

I would use them in the wood shop too. The yellow lens is good in low light.

Any type of tool can be mounted safely on the portamate. I actually am planning to put several tools on mounts and interchange them on two separate Portamate stands myself. It is an awesome way to use workshop space that is limited in square footage as mine is. My ten inch drill press, benchtop router, chainsaw sharpener as well as my miter saw can be changed with ease in doing so and still provide ample working room within my relatively small workshop.
