Chipped teeth by themselves do not make marks. However if a shoulder got tweaked and the protruding tooth got chipped because it stuck out that would be a tooth that I, as the sharpener, would toss...
The Freud glue line rip is a 30t triple chip, LM74.
The 24t heavy duty ripping is a LM72. The LM72 will not cut as clean as the LM74.
Your feed rate problem may well be a dull blade or a...
Most of them. I look at saws as sizing tools. By my definition the finish from a blade should have saw marks no deeper than .003". That is a finish that can be glued up with no problems. Any good...
I had initially planned on a day and a half. Ended up not going back on Saturday. There were several folks I intended to see that were listed in the Black book but by show time had backed out. ...
I am not sure the cutting performance would be affected. Most folks do not push a 10" blade hard enough for the decrease in chip removal rates to make any difference. However looking at the rest of...
Jeff is correct. By the looks of the anti kickback it is probably a Freud LU85. It has definitely been run. How it got plastic on it makes no sense. I am guessing it was cleaned a bit and sold...
As the last two posters noted a reputable local sharpening service is best. Since sharpening is never done while you wait once the trip to the sharpener gets to be over a half hour each way (2 hours...
I played with them at the Tucson Woodworking show. They are faster to use than my Bessey corner clamps. If it wasn't a slow year I would have bought a pair just because. It seems to me they were...
Two sided melamine just isn't going to work. Plywood will have differing results depending on the species, the moisture content and the quality of the veneer. I don't use zero clearance inserts...
I tried getting some folks from another forum interested to no avail. The show itself would not be enough to get me down there but if you toss in a Saturday morning breakfast with fellow woodworkers...
I have:
10" Craftsman single bevel miter
12" Dewalt single bevel miter
12" Ridgid single bevel miter
12" Bosch double bevel slider
The only time I have trouble with blade flex is with thin...
I cannot really justify the time it takes to do by hand. Using a 1/8" thick cutoff wheel I sharpen the face of the chip lifters and the leading edge of the outside rail. Then I debur the outside...
All router bits will change somewhat when the get sharpened. Interlocking bits tend to get loose or tight after successive sharpenings. Typically lock miters get tossed after only a few light...
Actually several times unless you start breaking teeth then the cost could be higher than replacing the blade.
If it is a hybrid or contractors saw and you match the number of teeth with the task you should be fine. Stay away from the glue line rip because it is .135 rather than .125. I still run full kerf...
Being a local guy, at least in the Phoenix area, I am not sure I agree with your multiple levels of service concept. Every tool goes through this shop in the same manner. If it is worth sharpening...
You did not say how old your blade is. Freud sold TKxxx blades under the Freud label at both places. Most likely your blade does not have the more modern epoxy filled slots in it.
From a sharpeners stand point I consider Avanti and Diablo to be equal quality blades. I think the reason for the Avanti brand was tied to the two competing stores not to have to price match. I...
I just hope my ISP never drops an email to or from some of the posters in this thread. I might end up out of business.;)
Box joint sets have a very real use. I have a customer with 3 SD508 sets and 2/3 of the time he was cutting 1/4 drawer bottom slots with it. I talked him into using the box joint set and his...
That is an 11A2 cup wheel. The original thickness was probably 1-1/4". The standard hole size is 1-1/4" but you can specify anything (including metric) that your grinder requires. Most likely CBN...
You will need to pick up a 3/8 collet. The most common end mill used in that application is a roughing one. Make sure you match the 2-1/2" overall length. MSC, Grainger and Enco online or any...
The south, getting worse the further East you go, gets humid in the summer. The only cooling I have in the shop is evaporative so in an effort to keep the temp below 90 inside I am adding moisture...
Come by my shop during monsoon. Every piece of bare metal, including tools in for sharpening, has rust.
