I don't think so. I tried two different blades from two different manufacturers and both tracked the same.

I can't figure this out. I just retired my band saw wheels, crowned them with a 7º bevel on each side and balanced the wheels out for vibration. The wheels by themselves look great.
I pop them on...
Hello All,
I built a set of frame and panel doors and one of frames has a bit of a wind to it. I was contemplating using a wide belt sander to flatten it out under the assumption that wide belt...
I wouldn't spend money on either.
A few years ago I had a student in my shop build one of these:

Once you've used it everything else is passé
That technology looks like it has a long way to go before it is truly marketable and actually saves amputation. Firstly, 1/8 sec is a long reaction time. And if anyone does the math preventing a...
Think about that for a second. The idea of money and its value is indeed a collective thought. so in a sense the money you have in your pocket is based a lot on the collective action of the people...
Not sure I'd ever buy anything from the manufacturers you cite. IMHO Delta has sold its soul to the . . Powermatic has been traded around from company to company and well, Grizzly is just lets say...
Our shop has an Oneida 15 hp two stage system that has about two dozen machines hooked into it. Over the years equipment expansion has brought the system past its rated capacity. We acquired a used...
+2 on using USPS for small packages. Way better bargain and service than UPS. I agree there is plenty of blame to go around and no one is really at fault. Unions doing their best to maintain a...
if it is 1/2" thick frame 1/4" for the panel would be fine. The groove on the frame should be slightly lower than 1/8" from the top surface of the frame so the panel will sit ever so slightly below...
Yes those would be medullary rays. It is a common occurrence in many species when quarter-sawn.
I've never understood the hype over Timberwolf blades. I tried one once and wasn't impressed in the least and went right back to trusty Lenox high carbon.
Sounds like something Whitechapel might carry.
But they're not in Mpls.
If it's a one time thing or you don't anticipate doing much metal filing down the road I'd just get the garden variety Nicholson it'll hold up for once in awhile use. I think Simmonds is another...
We have one that I just installed with extension tables. If you can hold of until tomorrow email me and I'll take the measurements. The space requirements from side to side are pretty typical when...
Whenever there is a natural opening in the wood (splits, knot holes, cracks, etc.) and I want a flat surface I fill the hole with a mixture of end grand filings and epoxy. The color comes out pretty...
Unless your grain matching is exquisite I would think Qtrswn White Oak w/ a bunch of butt joints would be a distraction. But thats coming from a dogmatic point of view from a design snob. Chances...
Is that insinuating Americans are any less careful than Europeans?
This brace was in my parent's attic then basement basement for years but never used. Last summer they were cleaning out and unloading a bunch of stufff and I picked it out of the trash pile. Today...
Walnut is typically steamed during the kiln drying process to homogenize the color. If you want more color variation find some air-dried material.
Frame has dado all the way around. The panel has a rabbet. Depending on the thickness of the material the dado width and location on the frame determines the thickness of the panel (or vice versa)....
If you are a Krenov enthusiast you might be interested to know that with practice (a lot of practice) you can use a grinder to make your own brad point bits. At the College of the Redwoods school...
It's happened several times in our shop.
I think you are right in everyone of the points you listed. I work in an educational shop setting and SS has been a great stress reliever when working with newbies..
Nice score. A few words of caution though. If it is really old (prior to 1970's) be careful. The painted surface could be lead based and planing it can release lead particles in the air for your...
