    Table Saw Problem

    At what point does it pull away?

    Common Sense Deceased

    Yes, printed press is in decline but that shift towards 'information elsewhere' is part of that process for both sides of the political bias. Also the argument of not addressing (moaning?) or holding right wing press to account lest it further that cause beyond sales is fairly moot.

    3D design software

    No problem, appreciate the heads up either way. Yup, I remember installing Autocad on 5 1/4 floppies and the hardware (rainbow) dongles. The current version I'm on is 2008 and that does what I want of it. I assumed that staying within the Autodesk stable of products and shifting to F360 would...

    Marples 4 1/2 plane rebuild

    I personally think that this was very much the right approach to that plane.

    3D design software

    I'm on the lookout for some simple 3D software aimed specifically at 3D printers. I picked up a Lulzbot a few weeks back to make some simple templates. My background is Autocad (I even used to teach it to pay my way through Uni) but I found the switch to Fusion hurt my brain. I'm able to get...

    Common Sense Deceased

    That's how I read stuff like this as well, Daily Mail-esq fluffed up diatribe. ...and no, not a reflection on the OP.

    Database for tools

    This is becoming way too analytical for what is a simple process. It absolutely makes sense to record tool inventory and doing it electronically makes more sense if those tool numbers are significant, especially if you appropriate other collatable data like cost, serial numbers, etc. Enter it...

    Just use the blade guard!

    Sarcasm alas is lost on the interweb these days, however given some of the previous comments on lack of safety on this thread I can understand why that is even more blurred than usual.

    Cheap Sandpaper?

    Fair point.

    Cheap Sandpaper?

    Not knocking the effort this guy went to in his tests given one of the main aspects of sanding discs these days is the ability to extract dust through the disc itself. I would have thought this would be key to most users, especially those whose needs requires bulk purchase.

    Database for tools

    Obvious statement I know but make sure your eventual document (whatever format you choose) is not saved in one location, i.e. if it's electronic don't just keep it on one laptop. In the event that you need to involve your insurers, there is a fighting chance you may be in the situation that the...

    Just use the blade guard!

    In part yes, they provide advice and inform on good practice to commercial entities which if not adhered to can potentially result in legal enforcement. From a non-commercial perspective, the information they provide is worth reading, not always relevant of course but worth reading as it's...

    Database for tools

    Any spreadsheet will do what you want, in all honesty if you need something beyond a spreadsheet to log your tools you should probably get someone in your warehouse department to take on that challenge. It makes sense to do it for insurance purposes, I suspect it will surprise most people when...

    Just use the blade guard!

    What??? Potato peelers and table saws??? What??? If you're trying to disprove the previous comments of not enough Vodka being drunk, you nailed it.... ;)

    Sold Startrite tilt arbor 165 Table saw

    I'd be all over this if I was more local. I was looking for a second saw of this size with cast top earlier this year.

    Thoughts on Ash?

    As above, nice wood to work with and does seem to have fallen out of favour over time. It used to be the wood of choice for coach built cars but got replaced when that new-fangled metal started to take hold of the automotive industry. I would ask an obvious question in that is the Ash available...

    buying hand planes

    Yeah, but there will never be a one size fits all answer. People need to find what works for them and the basis of this thread is collating those opinions.

    Just use the blade guard!

    You have consistently downplayed safety guards from the get go and even when you realised the general consensus was against you on that you then switched to it being a non-sensical argument of you being more right than the HSE in terms of the terminology of accidents. As already addressed, no...

    buying hand planes

    If you don't have one already, I would also be looking at a decent block plane and personally I would start out with a Luban / QS adjustable mouth plane. It gives you some indication of the quality of that tooling without too much investment but you will equally get your money's worth. It will...
