My Ridgid vac has locking ports. Might be an adapter out there somewhere.
Scott wins the prize! The lateral adjuster gets the iron dead on even if the sides are a bit out of square. I use my 5 1/2 for this function.
Used it once-ONCE with smalls and thought that I would NEVER get the fine orange dust off of everything (including me). It does morph into a deep maroon color after a few years. It is very pretty...
A little bit of education does not help. Remedial teaching just might be a waste of time either.
I have the Ridgid as well. It has been all I've needed. Mine is at least 15 yrs. old so I can't speak for the newer models.
Thomas, glad to hear about your use of the Makita. I have it, and use it often. I kinda think that it is the unsung hero of the sharpening world.
I have the SE which came with the ball head Allen wrench. It has been a great addition, and I would buy it again.
Addendum to last post:
The finished tool is called a "rake". Just so ya know.
Cut the blade into 12" lengths, tape 6 or so of the ends together(I used the liquid rubber-type too), and use the completed device to clean and fluff the buffing wheels after they/it becomes glazed...
I use mine on routers w/o soft start, the miter saw, etc. Any BRUSH-TYPE motor w/o soft start.
Some folks have repaired, but I just get a new belt. Consensus is that belts will be prone to failure after about a year. I buy just a few at a time. Never had one break (yet).
I use a Bailey 5 1/2 along with a #5 set as a scrub. Like the feel and the ability to smooth.
Just how i do it.
Just a thought. Some blades will create a sound while using a zero clearance plate. That's why blades (most) don't have the old style holes in them.
I'm with Kyle. I use a Staedtler drafting square to check all my tooling. Simple, quick, and painless.
Matt,
I was beginning to think that I was the only feller left who owned (and used) the Makita. Excellent tool, and WAY less expensive than others.
Lots of response to the process. Vids as well. Might wanna check it out when ya have the time.
Best trick I learned when using a planer. Sure makes the resulting cuts a WHOLE lot better.
NEVER get into a fight with one of those guys. Your Mama will never find your remains,
Great post, and thanks.
Yep! Dogwood wedges here too.
I have one I made from a dogwood root ball. Pretty darned tough.
Air Locker here. Not expensive, and it works.
Great to see a young feller getting into the craft.
Similar in design to the Cutech.
I was lucky enough to get a Craftsman (by Dayton) several years ago. 7", 3450 rpm. Put good Norton wheels on it. This puppy runs as true as can be, is mostly vibration free, has real safety glass...
