Also Freud lists it as a Cross Cut blade. That said, I'm aware that Freud have been accused of mismatch in advertised info relevant to website, packaging and the blade itself.

That blade is beyond the spec of the saw itself. A Dewalt 745 is meant to take a 250mm blade whereas a Freud LCL6M01051 is 260mm diameter. Assuming the part number LCL6M01051 is correct. You probably need a LP40M 025 if you want a 60T Freud for that saw.

How consistent is the issue and what wood are you putting through the saw when this happens? Have you checked how straight the cut is on the wood itself (after it binds).

Slow and high speed grinders will both get the job done but the slow speed is probably the better option if you can. The slow speed variant will be smoother and more controllable in the grinding process. It will also be more suitable for CBN wheels if you go that route. In terms of wheel width...

meh, probably and yes effectively.

Just threw down a fair wedge on a collection of CMT blocks in the last week to finally start using my own spindle more than I have done. Incredibly useful (if scary) machine. As with Trevanion, don't put me in the hat, I'm sorted for rebate blocks. Just wading in as I never see threads on...

My initial thoughts were that £37 seems excessive to me for a cheap vacuum hose and a couple of adapters. But with the bogof that's not a bad deal at all. Cheers for the heads up.

+1, I've seen similar designs / copies in the past. This looks fairly vintage and even the ubiquitous well-kitted out American home workshop didn't have machine milling capacity relevant to the likely age of this tool. May be wrong mind and happy to proven otherwise.

From what I can see, most people seem to vinyl plot DWG files by converting to Illustrator format AI(). I run both programs so can process DWG and convert either way if need be (I used to teach AutoCAD at Uni to pay my way through it a long long time ago). However it should in theory be...

Out near Brechfa forest just up from Nantgaredig, about 30 mins to Cross Hands. I'll let you know how the vinyl restart goes my end either way just in case you need options.

I couldn't make out the end plane on a mobile screen. My best guess was 8, 7, 6, 5.5, 5, 4.4, 4, 3 but wasn't sure. Now I think about it, it's obvious. Have to admit, I have a thing for three's. Got a full type 11 run apart from the 5 1/4 and a 1. Have a No 2 but that was a dumb purchase and...

Is the smaller of the bench planes a 3 or a 2?

You may be better off asking some of the US forums. FIne woodworking, maybe even the FOG.

It should be firm enough for you to run it in normal circumstances, i.e. horizontally with gravity helping. I'd make sure the surface is free of dust and clean as this will often cause it to move. I can't comment on the Titan but they should be grippy enough for you not to have to ask in the...

Possibly a factor in my case, but unlikely unless I'm missing something obvious. I'm aware of it and do note the local weather for temperature as well as dew points (I need to know for other aspects beyond my own workshop). I run a dehumidifier along with a separate gauge, humidity levels are...

I do run a dehumidifier (desiccant) on auto over the winter / cold months. It helps to keep the temperature up as well. Partly why this has confused me - it always helped to keep rust at bay until now. The only thing I can think that has changed the temperature in my own space is I fitted a...

Possibly.... I bought one a few years back to use as a large format pen plotter for templates but never got round to using it in anger. Mrs Shed9 is looking to set it up to use for herself as an actual vinyl cutter. Happy to bring that schedule forward and give it a test - but I'm just a little...

8 year old, woodworking? That's easy peasy lemon stuff, make a solid skateboard. Get a set of trucks, wheels and bearings from the bay and off you go. Lots of woodworking disciplines in there and he will likely genuinely want to see it through.

I’ve bought stuff from Rutlands with no problems at all. I’ve also bought stuff from Rutlands with problems. All distributors and retailers will have issues, it's how they deal with them. Rutlands don't have a good track record with this given the replies here (and my own experience) but I have...

It does give you an idea of their price margins at least.
