When setting up a jointer outfeed table, should the tip of the cutter be dead even with the surface of the outfeed table, or should it actually be fractionally higher?
Ideally, the outfeed table should be dead even with the cutter at the top of it's arc. The trick with the ruler is that it translates a very tiny vertical error into a much more readable ...

Some especially old jigsaws take a U-shank blade with an additional ...

This is an old question, but it still deserves an answer.
Would this type of connector be structurally as sound as a knockdown joint?
For the intended use, definitely. For connecting the frame of your Murphy bed, no.
What must I consider when using such a connector?
You need to think about the size and direction of the load. Bed rail connectors have a ...
