I have a Craftsman 1HP 3 gallon air compressor. It should be enough for my needs. It runs the nailer and stapler perfectly but its other intended use it does not-tires. Trying 2 air chucks and 2 hoses( one 1/4 and one 3/8) it will only fill tires to 25-30PSI. Why is that? I have the regulator set 90-100 but still it fills them to about 30 and then stops filling them with air. I have tried many tires and it is consistent. Physics would say that the compressor will continue to put out air until both are at roughly the same PSI. Surely, tires cannot restrict the filling by almost 100 PSI. With the compressor at 125 and the tire at 30, I cannot add any air at all. I must be doing something wrong. Please help. Adam

After much deliberation and watching prices online, I bought a Ridgid TS2400LS saw yesterday. Being my first table saw, I don't own the accessories required for safe operation but I've found most of what I need, including two Freud blades :) online. It appears that zero clearance inserts aren't difficult to make and I know that many of you use plywood for your custom made inserts. Most commercially available inserts are made of UHMW polyethylene or phenolic compounds. My experience with UHMW is that it's somewhat flexible and can warp. I've got a wavy sheet in the garage now. I'd try phenolics but there are several phenolic composites available and I understand that they can be tough on router bits. There's always polycarbonate, but that scratches pretty easily. Have any of you tried using solid plastics for inserts? If so, which plastic or composite did you use and how easy was it to machine? Thanks, Ray
