Ive got the Felder 540 which is pretty much the same machine I think. both made by ACM? I run a 1/4" blade often but instead of the ceramic guides I made some wood blocks with holes to attach to the...
Not sure how close you can get it with a contractors saw since you may have runout issues in the arbor. I like to get as close to perfect as possible. Sometimes I get lucky while adjusting and its...
You must not do alot of cutting. I wear out a carbide blade in 3-6 months.
I totally disagree that a bandsaw isn't a precision tool. Mine sure is.
I just noticed that too! I was thinking how weird it was. Mines an FB540.
I confess to an obsession with large Italian bandsaws. It all started with a 1989 SCMI SC600. Then I got a great deal on a Felder 540. I'm now covetting a Laguna LT24-24 and the LT28. Its not that I...
LoL, it did look like an awkward dance and with Toby running around made it even more special. :D
I have a makita 5 3/8" circular saw I love. It spins at 8000 rpm and makes an excellent cut but a blade spinning that fast really fills the air with dust. Thats why I mainly use the festool saw. I...
Its hard to explain so I just took a quick video.
Its a trimaster 166" long and it was the first and only take. may reshoot this weekend.
When I say this is the one you step on I ment the...
I always just go to handymath.com
Make them straight then steam bend.
Ian,
I am obviously sold on the laguna ceramics.
I don't see wear on the ceramic thrust pad being an issue. I just ripped 100 - 3/16" x 5" tall 6' long cherry strips for some laminations with...
You could alway use a second tablesaw, if you have the space, set up for dadoes. If you buy a decent used tablesaw you'll be able to sell it for at least what you paid for it. The table saw is the...
My Kapex table is flat and aligned with the turntable. But even the kapex had issues that weren't acceptable to me like the stiff turntable adjustment and scraping of the detent lock plate. Festool...
What about the new Laguna wide belts? They look pretty good and have a very tempting price point.
Both would be good.
:rolleyes: Don't you need to post some pics for it to be a gloat? :D
I was taught that your clamping force radiates out from the head of the clamps at about a 45 degree angle. In practice that has worked out for me in determining the number of clamps needed for a...
I've got 2 sets of the Panel Max Pro from ptree and I like them alot. Basically a copy of the Planos but a good copy. I posted a thread on talkfestool. Its really nice and saves a grip of time and...
Definitely get some festool. But no way will anything replace a cabinet saw. If you were going to start with just one shop tool I would vote for a cabinet saw. So versatile and accurate. Sure you can...
Www.comboaluminum.com
I love everything about a hand cut dovetail joint except for the scribe lines going across the entire board. It always made them look unrefined. IMO
Do you mean the Resaw King? There is deffinately something wrong there
I am writing a review of carbide bandsaw blades. I will be comparing the Resaw King, Lennox Tri-master, Lennox WoodmasterCT...
I order mine from spectrum supply. Other than the blades that came with my FB540 Ive only bought and used carbide blades.
