For some reason he wasnt with us long.... dont know why :-k

i put a cut all the way through my bosses brand new workmate once with a small trim saw. was literally 5 minits after he picked it up from the shop. Of course i did the only right thing and told him the apprentice did it.

looks like your trying to feed it into the blade a bit too quickly and the blade is trying to catch up on itself... if you know what i mean. try a bit less pressure while your feeding

Should be a intersting build. I wish you all the best with the glazing bars, i have recently built these http://www.flickr.com/photos/14309938@N03/1459246598/ for a unit. Each opening is a seperate piece of glass and all the joints were cut by hand as they were too delicate for a machine. Took...

i wouldnt have thought drilling holes in your block would be a good idea as if you dont get the depth of them all exacly the same, you will have problems with balance and the risk of the block vibrating to bits.

i agree with all those, but one thats fresh on my mind after this morning..... people who indicate left to pull up and then turn right ](*,) very very close shave...

Have you got the tracking knob maxed out in the oppositre direction for when the blade comes off the front? Sometimes the tracking knob has a locking nut on it as a referance and may need moving to allow the top wheel to track further back than it is now.

I use true cut, always top quality and reasonabley priced

PUWER regs state that a RAS should have a mechanism to return the blade back to the park position. Back cutting with this mechanism would be extremely dangerous as the cutter will be pullng itself into the timber. I have never used a RAS in this way and would consider it extremely dangerous not...

no the cowling over the cutter block is the guard. the power feed only becomes the front guard when it is put in place. and you dont have to be stupid, you just have to loose concentration for a slit second.

I take it you removed the guard for illustration purposes?

why not just number them with a pencil? saves a lot of hassle. and i would use sandpaper with a hard block around the joints to make sure you dont round any of the timber over and make a gap in the joint. Cabinet scraper will have the same effect as when you bend it to get a cut it makes a...

Beech is one of the worst timbers for movement. try spraying a small amount of water on the concave side with one of those garden centre spray bottle things, should return it somewhere near.

could be, its got that rich orange colour. the other possibility is sapele
