Menard's vs. Lowe's vs. Home Depot - LumberJocks Woodworking …
WEBJan 25, 2010 · 457 posts · Joined 2009. #1 · Jan 25, 2010 (Edited by Moderator) I took my first trip into a Menard's this past weekend and I was truly impressed with their lumber and tool selection. I only have Lowe's and Home Depot around me and by comparison, they're terrible. Menard's had actual Baltic birch plywood in 4×8 sheets in 1/4", 1/2", and 3/4".

Menards Masterforce table saw - LumberJocks Woodworking Forum
WEBDec 1, 2014 · The last I knew the Menards was the same, or very similar to the R4512 and 21833, and all have had many complaints about the dreaded alignment issue. It seems that every time I read that its fixed, someone buys a new …

WEBOct 12, 2009 · Menards can be hit or miss in this area depending on which one you go to, we have 4 all within approximately 30 minutes of one another. The one closest to me is complete garbage.

Menards MasterForce track saw - LumberJocks Woodworking Forum
WEBFeb 1, 2018 · Both are pretty good, but I think the Masterforce is a better set up. The track was smoother, though there's nothing holding the saw down on the track, and the power cord was longer, and the trigger lock out was easier to use. Otherwise, they're very similar. I was surprised at how nice the Masterforce kit was, given the price point.

I routed the edges and painted them white and they turned out great. I did sand them between coats as the first coat of paint raised the grain a little.
MasterForce 12" Drill Press | LumberJocks Woodworking Forum
WEBDec 9, 2011 · That being said, the need for a drill press with a longer quill travel and the sale price at Menards ($179.00) combined to tip the scale and I made the purchase last week. I had a bunch of pen blanks to drill for a Freedom Pens project, and doing them with my old drill press (2 1/8" quill travel) was a PITA. So I popped for the MasterForce 12 ...
