    I only use the router to cut dado's when I deem it too dangerous to cut them on a table saw (example: I need a dado cut perpendicular in the middle of a long skinny piece). About 95% of all my...

    I'm using a festool OF1400 router with the accessory that guides it along the track saw track. While I am cutting you can see the chips lodging in the groove and starting to smoke. I tried to...

  4. Fire in the workshop! Do I need a spiral bit?

    I'm having an issue. I'm using an undersized straight router bit to cut dado's in plywood and the chips don't clear and they start to smolder and burn. Would a spiral up or down bit correct this...

    I made sure to check that the hose could still reach with the saw set at 45 with the blade all the way up. I'm sure I could contact Sawstop but I purchased the saw in 2008. Plus I have some extra...

    This is the hose that connects the port on the back of the saw to the lower dust shroud. It needs to be flexible because it needs to rotate when you change the angle of the blade. There must be...
  7. Sawstop interior dust collection hose ripped.

    Hey guys,
    Recently I noticed that my sawstop wasn't preforming very well on dust collection. I assumed my collector was clogging up and forgot about it. Then today I opened up the side panel...

    I just made some 3X3X36 legs for a bunk bed I am building using a lock miter bit. They came out beautiful but it was really hard to set up. I would recommend cutting your stock 1/16th wider than...

    My guess is you are using the wrong axis point in the circle cutting jig. Use the hole on the same side as the jigsaw. I have had no issues cutting circles so far.

    Actually I'd love to veneer a piece of 1/4" aluminum. That way it would never sag, but how would you veneer the wood to the aluminum? Contact cement?

    I would love to flip the blades over, but the color on the other side of the blade doesn't match the room. I'll probably just make my own and see how it goes. I don't think it would be terribly...
  12. Can you make your own ceiling fan blades?

    Several fans in my house have an issue where the fan blades are warping down causing the fan to become unbalanced. I would like to replace them, but not with the original blades, something better...

    I went with a General International 75-075, primarily because I wanted a tilting head instead of a tilting table and because I wasn't terribly impressed with the Powermatic 719. The fit and finish...

    I have the ICS with the mobile base, and like Tim I also added a piece of plywood to raise the height of the saw to that of my workbench. I can honestly say I have never had it slide around. I...

    I just decided to buy the Bosch GTS1031 portable table saw and gravity rise stand. I decided the sawstop was just too heavy. I wish they made a light "truly" portable unit. I already have the...
