Would you recommend for 3/4 red oak. What settings would you recomend

3/4" red oak will be very dense so I would try strong saw blades with the teeth spaced quite widely apart. Use a slow speed on the scrollsaw for hard, thick wood as you describe. When using the scrollsaw, try it on a scrap first and if it works as desired, then on your project.

Robert, What are you making? I do intarsia projects with 3/4 inch wood of various types, some hard woods and some softer. I usually use a #5 or #7. Red oak is fairly soft so depending on the detail in your project. a #5 should work good for you. Kathy

I've had no problems with it so far. Initially I used the low setting because I was afraid of scorching my floors. It worked well on our high-finish oak. We've since moved and I've used it on higher quality maple using the higher setting. I've actually forgotten I had it on for 15 minutes and it did no damage to the floor. It can get really hot and will probably ruin less durable materials, but the two settings allow you work on various surfaces.

I too have hardwood floors and am pushing with a Yamaha RX-V series tuner/amp. It is definitely more than adequate for our large vaulted great room. However, if you have carpeting, you may want to opt for a "front firing" sub as the bottom firing PSW 121 may be somewhat subdued by the carpet.

Go out to their site at http://www.dormgrow.com/ where you will find all the details on their lights. I have a 450 and it was good for two folding tables side by side. Next year I plan to create a wrap around for the tables so the light can bounce off and provide better coverage. The lights also have little fans to promote better grow conditions.

I used burgundy red and it works great, but I can see it working with greens as well.

yep, I cut red oak 4x4s and treated them for sign posts .. they turned a hardy dark grey.

I think they are on there more for you to distinguish which club you hit than accuracy. I use a 3w setting for my 2 wood because I don't carry a 4 wo od I use the 3 hybrid instead. Its more for yout benefit. Greeat producy, you can't go wrong!

If I were using 3/4 stock, I would use the blue set. I bought this specifically to use with less than 3/4 i.e. 1/2 or 5/8.

I would stick to B. ITS your choice what pattern to do. But that has to be consistent throughout your installation.

Don't know if there is a manual available. The nailer that I received works flawlessly. I installed 3/4" red oak in about 1/3 of my house without a single problem. Keep it lubed with air tool oil, and feed it with an adequate, regulated air supply. You might search for the Bostitch manual. The two tools are nearly identical.

I cooked a great beef stew for about 40 over bed of oak coals with 3 or 4 split oaks logs fed occassionly tokeep the fire going. Much more picturesque than propane burner but propane is often more convenient. Do keep the paddle stirring,use a lid,and keep the flames low.J.Johnson

As a couple of the other answers suggested, I would also recommend 16 gauge on oak

The PM ones are nice. The 1/4-in bit from Wood River breaks routinely in hard maple, so buy two at a time. Other than that, it depends on how big your mortises are. The rule of thumb is 1/3 shoulder, 1/3 tenon, 1/3 shoulder, so 1/4" for 3/4" thick wood.I just used a PM 3/4" bit for a bed I'm making.

I opped for the Mikita after reading a review posted by a banjo maker who planed hard maple ( banjo necks ) . I know a couple guys who make insterments and it is a precise art and I knew if it suited them it would be fine for me . It is well suited for small to medium jobs not churning out hundreds of board feet . I've planed about 600 ft of quartered white oak and its AWSOME ! Pluse some precise patch work for antique repair . Very happy with the Mikita unit

I would consider it rather leaning more towards a cherry finish much more that a golden or dark oak. It is very attractive and in fact seems to compliment my oak furniture.
