Out of curiosity I measured the runout on both my shapers.They are 1 1/4 shaft. There was a tiny amount,about the same for both.None would be better...

I may well be looking for hen's teeth... There are fixed guides and moving guides... Ceramic are usually in the fixed category. I read yesterday,...

Euro guides are able to rotate,but barely or briefly do as they are not in constant contact.

I know I can get something from SAC,those ones are fixed,I'm wanting to know about ceramic euros that rotate in the usual way euros do.

Is this happening while it is untooled? Is it a manually adjusted speed system ie. you have to shift the drive belt from pulley to pulley?...

Forgive this query... When you did a dry fit prior to gluing did all the mating surfaces fit well and did you oppose each jointed face,and did you...

The bostik products are both dry types and flash off almost immediately, and yes on blades needs repeated applications. The surface product lasts...

I have a laguna but also a larger,older saw with euro guides a bit worse for wear which I want to upgrade or repair. Although ceramic,the laguna...

Material being compressed onto the blade and tyres by the bearing type guides effectively crowning the tyres causing it to track....maybe. Better...

Cat's can be skinned in many ways...by all accounts... Spindle turning really is significantly different to bowl turning. Watch Curtis Buchanan (if...

Great feed back thankyou. I'm often using partially seasoned DF and other unseasoned species and note there is some build up in the gullets. I also...

You can probably get the motor rewound/rebuilt. May or may not be cost effective...

The temperature of the glue and material at that time was probably in the low 40's. I had been using another yellow glue tolerant of low temperatures...

I had read an earlier thread mainly about TB 3 and was a bit concerned by the mixed reviews,particularly with regard to joint failure. It's always...

All the curved lams have been exterior,all are mechanically fixed in place and have had water thin epoxy sealant followed by a four coat paint...

The "dime trick" is clearance to allow the waste to clear as it cuts.

Makita 18v 61/2 is light.Good power to weight ratio,has a purlin hook too. If you're right handed and plan to use a speed square as a cutting...

You really have to consider what your use will be. I use an 18v 61/2" Makita extensively for 2x framing work and general construction. Limitations...

Watch the level of suction,it can lead to excessive sanding marks. Less so with abranet. Festool has adjustment for suction level,not sure about...

I'm away down in the deep south Pacific. The replacements I put on when I first got the saw were from Sco/Sarg.

The issue with the tyres threw me out as the manual said to always track the teeth off the front edge,other info said euro saws always have level...

There's no switch lock with the Deros is there?

By the way,the festool ETS EC is between $1280 and $1480 here... Not U.S.

Both the festool ETS EC and mirka have a lower profile which should help with any tendency to roll,and are nicer to use than the taller types.The...

Excellent helpful thread for me. Erik in particular.
