Peter, do you mean that the handle is a split turning? Otherwise, why two pieces of cherry?
Thanks

I agree that anything you put on today’s carbide blades will be gone once it starts cutting from the tips. However for the blade body try fluid film from Eureka chemical company. I love the stuff for...

Reed, I hear you. You pretty much described how my jig works. as I said, I
align the front of the saw teeth to the center of the pivot point. That should be right.

I'll try the jig a little more...

Good point, Bernie. I'm using a ¼ X 20 cutoff bolt as a pivot. Maybe that's too small? I made sure to align the front of the saw teeth to the center of the pivot point.

I cut them all flat.

Thanks, John.

Size of blade? Tried 1/2", 3/8", even 1/4". all had problems
Cutting too small radius/twisting blade? Radii were 5 to 6", but the blade was twisting.
Improper tension? I don't...

I am cutting bowl blanks on my Mini Max 16 inch saw, and the blades keep wanting to twist and jump the guides.
I am using a shop built jig which seems to be aligned well with the blade. Any ideas...

Thanks. That's what I'll do.

Just to be clear, the pics are two different halves of the same log. My main concern is safety, second creative possibilities.

I just got a log of an unknown species (maple?) that has a branch or crotch in it.
As an inexperienced turner, what should I do here?
Photos attached. Thanks!

Think of the space you'll save!!!!

I don't see it for sale anywhere.

I think you're close. I have a few of the one you show. They come in handy for hanging all kinds of things, but are much bigger than this guy.
It's got to be for hanging something, though. Maybe...

Brian, the threaded part is round, so it would rotate in t-track. Plus the holes clearly indicate that it's meany to be screwed to something.

Cleaning up workshop and found a bag of these. About 1" wide threaded ¼-20 lock thread.
Couldn't find them on the web.

Are GRK and Spax just different brands with Torx heads?

I use them on my RAS. I don't know if they improve the cut (I suspect not) but they are significantly quieter. Even on my Forrest blades.

Thanks, Jim :D

What's the name of the group so I can apply?

My top is 3/4 mdf, so I'll have to mortise the rectangular portion of the sensor to get it flush.

I would. I used incense sticks which worked well. I found a few leaks and fixed all except one at the top rear of the cyclone. Hard to see and get at.

Jim, your barrel setup looks a lot like mine. What did you use for a seal between the barrel and the cover groove?

Stuart, I had the same question as Ben. Also, not having mine set up yet, please let us know if the fine dust in the container gives this detector any problems, particularly when the bin is getting...

Yeah, I couldn’t get all of that. I plan to settle for just the red light.

Just read from Ben's first post. It's all there.
