:D :D Sorted. Once I'd put a bit of heat in the garage it was time get to the bottom of this. What I should have done first inspect the blade. :roll: Cleaned all the crap off that had built up in the gullies and the sides. Happy with the clean up,time for another run at 5mm fingers. Yes I...

These are finger joints that I am doing on a jig I have just finished. The joint shown is just a single pass which still has the error at the top very slight but it's still there. Will check the blade is at 90° tomorrow and may get a new blade and go from there.

Yes have done that with single cut and wider at the top than bottom just the same. However the slot is wider than than the kurf of the measured with a vernier.

Ah now I'm with you Matt have not thought about that.Will check that in the morning. Let's say that OK for the moment would the cheap supplied blade be a possibility do you think?

Thanks Matt but I have that problem with the kerf?

The joint are perfect as far as pitching. You've lost me Matt as to fence alignment please enlighten.

Not having used a table saw a lot I am after advice on Kerf. Cutting a finger slot 8mm deep with 2 passes on a blade with 2.5mm kerf should the cut be 5mm all the way down and if yes why is mine narrower at the top of the cut. All the fingers are marginally narrow at the top than the bottom...

Here's some photos now it's as good as finished.Only have 2 clamping nobs left to make. Works well considering it's my first attempt,just cot a single blade finger slot to try it out.

Thanks for the information Malcom. I only use Andrews as it's were my in laws live.

Thanks Matt Got your PM very helpful should have my jig finished by Sunday so see how it goes. :? :?

Is the supplier you mentioned earlier in the thread the on you use Matt?

Ok with you on that, do you know if they do 254mm grooving disc's as I am having a problem finding them?

That's great thanks,yeah the bore is 30mm on mine the same as the grooved blades that were shown on an earlier thread. Never would of realised these existed without you knowledgeable guys on here.

Folowing this thread with interest as I am halfway through finishing a variation on this one http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Build-a-Variable-Box-Joint-Jig/ When saw the piece about grooving blades,which I knew nothing about. As my bench saw takes 254mm dia and can only find 150mm dia...

Hi Just finished this sled for my newly aquired band saw. It's one of the YouTube video ones.https://youtu.be/RSoqKK6thqo I have added a stop gauge which is an additional to original design. Very easy to make and works great. Next I am goìng to make the table saw cross cut sled with the box...

This photo should show you what I mean?

Was changing the blade and was wondering why when I have set the blade as per the blade gullet in the centre way that I have been getting some movement in the blade position. I nolticed that there was 0.5mm end float in the top wheel. The bearings are set in the wheel housing solid. It's end...

Have now took the plung and working with 50/50 poly and white spirit mixed and ready to go. Very impressed with this method on the oak box, has now had 6 wipes. Before the last coat used 600 w/dry with a dash of water. Next step will be to put some flocking in that turned up today,looks pretty...
