try a finer blade!....that one looked in the "coarse" range

Well, I zoomed in on the image and it appears to me that he blade is installed backwards....A coping saw works best on the pull stroke, and not on the push-stroke!

I think you can just drop the trough, instead of emptying it.

Alhough I've frequently encountered "out of square" on 5x5 baltic birch,it is not really common (but I always check!) First thing I would do is check my square.... you'd be suprised at how many rafter squares are just a tad off-particularly used ones!

a chopping block I used PVA on 45 years ago i still getting daily use. resurfaced ? 3 times eric

I don't think any "interweb" colour match will be successful You could end up buying dozens of stains/finishes which might come close, but no cigar!. It is much fun, and when you haven't got a close match, be glad you spent all that money on what will be hazardous waste! which will likely dry...

theres always push drills....

Funniest thing I ever encountered was when working on a builders house, the plumber came in to fit the kitchen sink. He didn't check if the water was off so just snipped the plastic pex Water was not turned off, pipe slipped out of his hands and down the holde!. Mad panic ensued, plumber...

like doug71 I also use tape, but generally tape from the granite ctop supply house which is no only stronger than painters tape, but also has stretch-ability. and thus great clamping pressure. I'm fortunate enuf to have a lamello lipping planer (all my edging is about 2mm oversize x 5 or 6 mm...

I've had maybe 3 shapers in my lifetime, and finally gave up on them. Why? cutters , while available, are not easily so. Cannot be easily transported to worksites custom ground cutters are mega$$ What I opted for... A large router.....Why? much more conducive to site work Plethora of easily...

I like to use a foot pedal, and haven't yet found a better way to speed things up. The only safety issue was when one of our makerspace members came over to see what I was doing and accidentally stepped on the switch. Was bit of a surprise , but not like the one when a student learning the...

Honestly this subject deserves a book of it's own. A fella ain't gonna find the secrets here in 3 or 4 sentences. My polishing buffing kit runs from VS grinders/dental lathes,, arbours to munt on the pillar drill, and buffing/deburring wheels/brass+steel brushes/mops -cloth and felt....etc...

if paying to move it ain't in the budget, is paying to replace it (if it cracks) not there as well?? Granite is HEAVY- there's a reason suppliers typically turn up with lots of help! I wish you well! Eric in the colonies!

There is a reason why God invented shims!!! Glad you found the wonky level and out of square rafter square...!!! Eric

The risk is from "comdust"- short for combustable dust. Here in Canada, we have had several sawmills "explode" with unfortunate loss of life. To my understanding, the cause of this was a small explosive event which sends a shock-wave throughout the facility. That dislodges all the fine dust...
