PSI Woodworking TSGUARD Table Saw Dust Collection Guard Review

The only flaw I can find with this unit it that the blade guard is not designed to sit flat against the table and ride the work piece as you push it through the saw. You have to set it above the table at just enough distance for the piece to pass under it. The guard also sits a little cockeyed due to the somewhat rigid hose pushing down on it. But that's all I can complain about. The unit is made of some pretty heavy gauge steel and I suspect it can take some abuse.

Before adding this over arm system to my saw I was getting a face full of saw dust, and I was more than a little concerned for the safety of my saw due to the absence of the blade guard. I use a dado blade frequently and the fixed blade guard was a nuisance to remove and replace, so it just remained removed. Now it's nice to have a little something covering the blade. It's also a pleasure not having to gear up with full facial armor to ward off the steady jet of saw dust that made a bee-line for eyes and nose. I got everything I needed in this unit for about $300 less than every other model.

Set up was easy, despite the fact that I had to make a platform to fasten the base to. There is room to get creative in the way you secure this to your saw if you don't have the traditional cabinet saw with an extension table. Just think outside the box a little and you will have this unit up and running in about an hour.

It was delivered in good time and the packing was appropriate. The item arrived in pristine condition with all the parts.

Product Description

Cook's knives are indispensable kitchen helpers. They perform a wide variety of cutting chores, from mincing to dicing and slicing. The wide, heavy 8-inch blade of this example provides more heft than narrower models, which makes it a particularly efficient worker.

Details of a Forged Wusthof Knife

PEtec--Precision-Edge Technology

New Wusthof technology offers superior sharpness!

The latest cutting performance tests carried out by the FGW (Forschungsgemeinschaft Werkzeuge und Werkstoffe e.V., a German research association for tools and materials based in Remscheid) confirm that Wusthof forged knives offer the best quality when compared to other well-known, single-layer brands.

The extensive tests were carried out in accordance with DIN EN ISO 8442-5. Wusthof knives have a considerably higher ICP (Initial Cutting Performance) and maintain this performance for an extremely long time (TCC = Total Card Cut).

When compared with the winners in the "cook's knife" category awarded by German consumer organization "Stiftung Warentest" in its 1st edition of 2008, forged Wusthof knives featuring the new PEtec technology produce a result which is about 20% higher.

The Technology:

• Blades are measured by a laser before sharpening
• Computer programs calculate precise sharpening angle for each blade
• Knives are then sharpened on a whetstone using precision robots
• Knives are given a final polish using a special disc

  The Benefits:

  • Extremely high initial cutting performance
  • Exceptionally long edge retention / long service life of blade
  • Optimum cutting edge along the entire length of the blade
  • Unique, consistently high and reproducible quality

  PEtec from Wusthof--superior sharpness for professional and home cooks!

  How Wusthof Knives are Made

  Wusthof knives are known for their outstanding sharpness. By honing and sharpening the knives yourself you can maintain this feeling for a lifetime of use (see "Honing and Sharpening" section below for detailed guidelines on how to do so).

  

  The evolution of a precision forged knife

  Over 40 different manufacturing steps are needed to produce a forged Wusthof knife from one solid piece of steel.

  Here you will find a detailed explanation of some of the most important production steps.

  1. Sheet bar of high-carbon no-stain steel
  2. Precision forged piece
  3. Tempered to 58-degree Rockwell
  4. Polished
  5. Scales of handles and rivets
  6. The Wusthof Cook's knife

Types of Blades

The Right Blade for Every Purpose

The edge is the business end of a knife. It is skillfully honed by hand and incredibly sharp. For different cutting tasks different blade shapes and edges are recommended.

The Differences:

Straight-edge blade: The straight edge allows a smooth and clean cut. When carving no fibres are torn out of the meat. This edge can be used for firm and soft food like meat, vegetables and fruit.

Serrated-edge blade: The wavy or serrated edge allows an easy cut through crusty food like a traditional roast and crispy bread.

Hollow-edge blade: When cutting an air pocket is created between the hollow edge and the slice. This prevents the food from sticking to the blade and allows for finer slices.

Cleaning & Storage

Proper care for long-lasting cooking enjoyment

If you value your tools, we recommend washing your knives with warm, soapy water after each use. Rinse carefully and dry with a towel.

For proper storage we recommend the following options:

• Knife blocks in a variety of shapes, colors and configurations. The handy knife block provides protection for your blades as well as a visual compliment to your kitchen decor.
• Magnet Bars in wood, synthetic material or aluminum. Two extra strong magnet segments provide a safe, easily visible and space-saving storage option.
• Cook's cases in rolls and briefcase styles. This is the ideal method for professionals to store and transport their tools safely.

Wusthof Classic 8-Inch Wide Cook's Knife Review

I prefer the eight-inch knife over a ten for weight reasons and the wide series gives lots of knuckle-slide area for repeated chopping tasks. I've owned Wusthof-Trident knives since before graduating from culinary school over ten years ago. In fact, I still own all but one that I still use daily (One was stolen). The knives hold an edge better than any other I've used (and I've tried 98% of what's out there), stand up to continuous use and are comfortable enough to use all day long. You'll never be sorry owning Wusthof-Trident knives.

Plymouth 5' x 8' Braided Rug in Midnight Blue Review

I live in western MA near Thorndike Mills, a company known nationwide for their exceptional braided rugs. I bought a 5x8 for around $250. I didnt mind paying the $250 as all the cheaper others I had seen were of very poor quality. I recently did my kids bedroom over on a tight budget and could not afford to pay $250 for another rug. I looked on amazon and found this one for roughly $100 but knew I would not be getting a good quality rug. Much to my liking, the rug arrived and exceeded my expectations. I find it to be as good as the rug I paid 2 and a half times the price for.

Thomas Kinkade Stillwater Cottage Canvas Print Wall Decor by The Bradford Exchange Review

I do like the painting,and the frame is nice too. I thought I would love the light up factor but I was expecting it to be softer. It is a little to bright white in some parts. It is a little to much for such a soft, idyllic setting. So I will keep the lights off. A soft glow would have complemented better.

Angel Soft Double Rolls Bath Tissue, 96-rolls

Angel Soft Double Rolls Bath Tissue, 96-rolls Review

Hey, yo... When I was in my early 20s, a girlfriend broke up with me because I was using the single-ply variety of toilet paper in a cost-saving measure. Living in New York City is very expensive. I learned an important lesson, you gotta step up your poop game. Take that S--- seriously. Pun intended. At a cost of $0.47/double roll, the Angel Soft Double Rolls (I purchased the 40-pack) this is a good way to step your game up on the cheap.

I did extensive product testing comparing to the more expensive Charmin Ultra Strong Toilet Paper, Double Rolls, 40 Count. I use the restroom frequently, so I figured myself to be the perfect test subject. Below:

Price: Angel Soft: $0.47. Charmin: $.71. If I had a quarter for every time I bought cheaper toilet paper... Oh wait I do, so that is a total of $.24 x 40 = $9.60. Almost enough to buy something useful like an Admiral Ackbar action figure.

Softness: Angel Soft: 9/10. Charmin 8.5/10. Angel Soft with a shocking Wichita State-style upset here. The champion of crap has been dethroned

Toughness/Resiliency: Angel Soft - 4/10. Charmin 8.5/10. This is the big weak point for the Angel Soft. Really can not stand up to daily use.

Those are the only categories I could think of to judge Toilet Paper in. In all, it is a solid, if unspectacular product. I don't know how long it will take me to finish 40 rolls of toilet paper, but I can assure all my faithful readers that Stacie is very excited to have such a plethora of supplies. Doomsday Preppers here I come!

Aside: I couldn't figure out a reasonable way to work this story into the review, but when I was in college my friends and I had a long debate about whether or not it was weird to wipe while standing up. I maintain this is perfectly normal but they thought I was the odd one. I'm not even sure I'm familiar with the mechanics of the seated wipe. Sorry for that visual. Discuss in comments.

Update: 7/16/13 - I see that a) they have almost doubled the cost of this product (it was about $19 for 40 double rolls when I bought and reviewed it) and it is no longer prime-eligible. I would not purchase this product at this price. I will not deduct any stars because the star-rating is for the product not for the price/shipping.

Update 11/15/13 - Back to a reasonable price. Ignore previous update.
