    David, I would say my saw ( GO513x2) won't adequately tension that blade. Don't rule out getting your blades cut down to 131 1/2 and rewelded, or do it your self. Woodcraft sells a kit that is...

    Braden, I bought some air dried walnut recently and some of it had powder post beetles - which can be a real problem. If wood is klin dried to 130 degrees, that kills the beetles, since it hasn't...

    Wayne, it looks great. How long is it? Also, did SJBT set it up for 60 degrees or was that your decision after you got the casting?

    Dave, I bought mine about a year ago and it is a great saw. The only downside is that the handle for the fence was in a awkward position. I don't know if they corrected that with the current model...

    Scott, I usually flip in the other position, and take down the middle hump and find that is easier for me. When you do it the frown way, you get an aggressive cut at first ( because the board is...

    Tom, I wasn't really worried that they would go out of business, but did buy 2 cartridges just in case. OTOH, even if they go under 25 or 50 years from now, you could always bypass the electronic...

    Curtis, you can spin the blade by hand without a problem. So long as the saw is not on, the detection is still active but it won't trigger anything other than a red light. If you have a question...

    Peter, hot hide glue. I used the cheap tea kettle type warmer, I put the glue in glass jars, and put the jar in the water. I also keep an instant read thermometer in the water and try to keep the...

    Bas, nice review. I agree on the handles that lock the fence down, I replaced them last week with handles that sit above the top of the fence and am much happier. I don't know if the ribs reduce...

    Rob, just wanted to add that I sold my Ryobi BT3000 to get the SS PCS in the shop ( I still miss the sliding table a little). My take is that for most users, the SS is in the same class as the PM...

    Matt, Mark is right, if you are going to use it primarily for resaw, the 1 inch is fine. Once it is on it works fine. For me, while resaw is the most work for the saw, it isn't the only thing I use...

    Sean, it was his feeling, and he diagrammed it and it made sense, that the chipping came from the bending of the fibers before they sheared - if so then you would have a hump in the middle instead...
