'Tis the best info you'll find, and freely available to download, not here though, but another forum, not called "the other place" as you might have seen written before. I guess there might be some hints to google, if you search that quoted term in the top.

You wouldn't be using a whetstone thing like a Jet or a Tormek, by any chance?

I'd have thought robots would be good at sharpening!

Here's some reading taken from the archives, for those who value their fingers. Lots of the good stuff from before the mass exodus. There was much emphasis on safety, regarding the community keeping newcomers from having accidents back then, and ads which promoted the opposite like those gripper...

What makes you think a pair of the usual 450mm long (or longer if a larger blade used) pushsticks aren't best practice.... or even Steve Maskery's posts on the subject? The idea being being able to clear the blade, without hands going over it. (to be found on the actual UK owned forum, the place...

Corrected, was still editing, but the signal is bad. I was meant to say the lack of suitable pushsticks being such. You might see I've linked one of your threads today, Ian. Cheers Tom

I don't know, I heard it here in one of the tablesaw threads, and indeed seen those figures on Google, and other videos mention the same. I suppose it doesn't really matter, as we don't know how many trained folks were using them, and likely lots of other factors which I've not considered...

Up until a good lot of folks changed to Sawstops, in the US, the average circular saw accidents (that's the ones reported) amounted to 65000 hospital visits annually!. Yes, that's SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND reported accidents a year, on average. If you think it's folks brand new to the machine, then...

A pair of 450mm long pushsticks of soft play or something similar should be the first thing you make, read these archives, there's likely better ones than these. Hope you've got a hand plane to prepare timber on face and edge beforehand...

Right sized blade is the widest blade the machine can comfortably handle, 3/4" the very MAX, (really) on that machine, and I mean thin tuffsaws blade at that, not m42, perhaps a half inch might be more suitable really. just not some curve cutter, in which a saw on the wonk will hide things...

Have you watched the Snodgrass "bandsaw clinic"?:unsure: Only messing, just send it back as it's unfit for purpose. Check the rest of the machine out, like I've mentioned elsewhere, i.e any other forum, whilst yer at it. Chances are that machine could be all the worst bits put together in...

To mention below, for consideration of others considering such... as no need reply to me, just sayin... Portable tablesaws?... I've not seen someone use two, 450mm long... push sticks with one of those machines and look confident doing such. Not even with an infeed, well any that I've ever seen...

I was thinking Jim Browning fodder! Welcome to our fleeting community BradyS.

Half the cost of a cheap 20" far Eastern machine, which the UK tech and my local shop owner couldn't sort out. The scornful attitude regarding such, as this is what to expect if buying a new bandsaw. It's a simple formula when you do things right, as the cat is outta the bag now. Much to the...

Unfortunately nothing decent exists, whatsoever. Mark Duginske's book is often recommended, as it's said to be one of the best, concerning the use, that is, and available in video format too, so a bit pointless to buy something, since it's an interesting watch. but just the same as everything...

@Against_The_Grain Wealth of knowledge you've got, I enjoy reading your posts.

It's a wonder you're still here so, with those deceptive attempts by the conglomerate, and the thread with those critical posts of such antics which disappeared. Maybe I've said too much already, suppose I better be careful from now on. 🔇

Maybe it is a eucalyptus, but not the type that say, Derek is accustomed to, none the less cheers for the wee nugget of info. I struggle to believe that it looks nice, or indeed very durable, well compared to everything else I've pulled outta skips anyway. Softish, like lesser meranti, very...

Was this intended for the joke album, or did you miss the joke at the end? Oops, my bad, I presume you missed yesterdays post, cuz it was deleted.
