I asked to exchange the Atoma out of curiosity and the new one arrived today. It's flatter, but still not flat. There's a MUCH smaller section of the face that's concave by right about 0.0015" (15...
To be fair, the feeler gauge set is in multiples of 5 tenths, not single tenths (and only that precisely up to 2 thousandths). I do have a dial indicator that reads in half tenths though (aka 5...
No, I meant what I wrote. Somewhere between 15 and 20 ten-thousandths of an inch.
I bought an Atoma #140 to use to flatten my Shapton Pro stones. It's not perfectly flat. Laying it diamond-face down onto my granite surface plate, the 0.0015" feeler gauge can slip under the middle...
I'm trying to pinch every penny until it squeals here. I've got the 220, 1500, and 5000 Shapton Pros and I'm tired of the mess and hassle of the way I'm flattening them now. I'd like to buy a Atoma...
Do you let the glue dry before you iron the two pieces together?
Also, I just realized I have an 9x12x3 granite surface plate that weighs 26lbs. Since it's bigger than the project, I can just...
In the past, I have used PSA (self-adhesive backed) veneer for a number of projects. However, I had been collecting pretty bits of unbacked veneer with the expectation that someday I would have a...
I just bought a chunk about the size of a normal red brick of spalted maple off ebay. It's freshly cut and wet to the touch. It's starting to grow a little mold. I know I need to dry it out somewhat...
I am trying not to scrape but sometimes I suspect I might be presenting the gouges wrong and allowing it to happen.
The wood is bone dry. Several years on a wood rack after being bought already...
I'm new to turning and bought the Harbor Freight HSS tool set because I figured between learning to turn and leaning to sharpen I'd put some excessive wear on the tools. I was under the impression...
I'm having trouble getting bandsaw blades that are welded properly. Well, at least I think I'm having trouble and that's why I'm coming to you guys. I've ordered blades made from Lenox blade stock...
The rule/law is that the car's MY must be the calendar year containing the Jan 1st on which the MY was available. That's a poor way to phrase it, but I can't think up a better way. So 1/2/2015 to...
I'm surprised at that list. I don't really participate much on the FOG, so I have no idea how common that stuff is. I will say that I use my tools quite a lot and I'm not especially nice to them. I...
To me, that's an interesting statement. I have a bunch of Festools, and the ONLY one I've ever had a single serious criticism of is the MFT's rail hinge (which is easily solved). Two vacs, sanders,...
Yeah, someone else just mentioned using a jack which reminded me that I have a hydraulic press. The problem is that it's in the (unheated) barn and it's the middle of winter. Also not sure what sort...
First, as a Festool MFT owner, the stock hinged rail alignment system thing sucks. I could get it square, it'd stay square for several cuts, the inevitably I'd bump something and knock it out of...
I'm in a bit of a transition period and don't have access to a vacuum press. I need to apply commercially purchased veneer (no backing, just a tissue-thin piece of wood) to a thin panel about 13"...
I've got a quickie shelf project I'm using that involves a Baltic Birch panel veneered in PSA (peel-n-stick) quartersawn oak veneer. With proper glue on veneer, I'd typically make the panel a bit...

So, I sent off an email to Spectrum and, almost a week later, got a reply that they’d send a return label. I’m used to someone saying this and then emailing me a PDF of a label so I can print it and...
They're not straight but they're not off as far as they jump in use. Not sure what that means.
I've used a bandsaw for decades but have only been "in charge" of my own for a much shorter time so I'm running into problems for the first time (since they used to be taken care of for me). For the...
Huh, that's risen then. Last time I had a guy who had to care, it was just two counties up near Cleveland. Still, 7 counties are doing it, 81 aren't. You guys can safely be ignored :lol:
