Thanks for the update. I'll magic marker an update onto my jig. I had a hunch that was the problem when I adjusted the 1/2 inch VS half blinds and the pod ended up the same height as the one next to...
Hmm.. Makes me wonder if it is the pins being the wrong width or perhaps the documentation calls for the wrong collets. I only had a big problem with the variable spaced half blinds.
For 800 bucks I would have flown down, purchased tools locally, installed it for you, and still cleared enough money to make me happy.
My impression was that it was the collet too since a half inch dovetail is far shy of 1/2 inch once adjusted.
I assume that you are talking about the newest one.
There have been a few posts about it on here and I do own one. If looking at top of the line, I would say that it beats the d4r in many respects;...
You may want to pick up the 3 gun kit from Senco. It has a brad, finish, and staple nailer. They aren't top of the line, but they will certainly get the job done. They won't drive the really long...
It also has an itty bitty dust port.. 800 is about rock bottom for a new one. I haven't seen one used for below 700 however.
If space isn't an issue, 50 is the way to go. I downsized from a 52 to a 30 due to space constraints. The 30 is still a huge machine, but I can at least open my car door now.
The 2000 isn't. The 2066 (custom version of the 2000) has the top ground, final assy and finishing done here, but I don't think it is cast here. The 66, if it is still made, is from here. The only...
Most of the Chinese 15 and 20 inch imports are 8 or 9 inches. I have a 15" grizzly and put the digi-kit on it. I don't really like it because it rezeros when I turn it off, but mine may be defective....
The wixey only goes to 6". Many planers are 8 inches in height making the wixey a poor choice.
The IRS' budget is 11 billion dollars (enforcement is 4.925 billion).. The US income tax receipts are 1,247 billion dollars. Not exactly 35 percent. I doubt that the state of california is skewed...
Pretty cool. Here is a better video of it:

That isn't really what I was getting at. If one blade is lower than the rest by say .005, it will cause all of the blades to wear more quickly. I am wondering if anyone who has short blade life has...
I can see how blades could dull prematurely if the head doesn't hold the blades in the exact same spot. Has anyone who has issues hooked up a robocator or equiv and checked the tolerances on their...
The site says german tool steel and italian mfg.. I doubt they could be worse than the dewalt ones.
.003 is good enough. My jet came in at .003 out of the box. Since it is a cabinet saw, it is really easy to adjust, so I dialed it in within .001. It is about a 10 minute procedure, so I don't really...
The two brands that are consistently praised are Makita and Hitachi. I have the makita 10 inch slider and it works great. Because of the deflection issue, I would stick with 10 inches on a slider,...
As long as you stick with standard thickness stock, there isn't a big need to buy accessories. There is a sliding tapered dovetail template that looks neat, but I won't get that until there is an...
Yes yes yes.. but did you see Norm's new assistant?
Anything like this where someone calls you and asks for money should be suspect. Always ask for their name and say that you are going to call the company's main switchboard (don't have them give it...
I have the new omnijig at home and really like it. I also have a Leigh superjig that I will probably sell soon. There is really no comparison between the super and the omni. The super gets the job...
The scary part is that many investments these days are highly leveraged. For example, hedge funds may raise 1 million from investors and turn around and take out loans for 10 or 20 million to buy up...
I have been trying to read up on everything fed and currency related that I can find lately and I firmly believe that world currency is a goal of many of the powers that be, but it isn't something...
29 was the year before the depression and late in 29 was when the downward spiral began but the depression didn't really start until the 30s. I am comparing the US now to that or the late 20s before...
