    I don't use the cross stops unless I'm using it for edge reference.

    For glue-joints I just align the boards on a workbench then scribe a pencil line across the joints then use the cursor to cut...

    You are probably binding because of the height of the attachment between the positioner and the fence. Try loosening the two bolts that attach the positioner to the fence and see if it moves without...

    Saw this thread and thought I might be able to help with my experience on the D4 jig.

    Turns out, I already had responded... in 2009 :)

    Only thing I would add is to use double sided tape on...

    Add a 45deg chamfer to the top corner all the way around maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the top thickness. It is a nice optical illusion.

    I can see the use for this tool because of the way the Festool rail must go up and down for different stock thicknesses. It seems, though, that there are probably better solutions to the problem...

    Table saw and router table are both the wrong tool for the job. Plunging tracksaw like DeWalt or Festool would have been completely safe with the proper stops and clamps in place. Faster too since...

    I had a 20" and now long for a 24"+. Bandsaws are like that. I don't really want more resaw height beyond 17" but the extra throat would make things very straight-forward when using the machine for...

    Mine leaks as well, maybe a drop a month or so. I am going to check the bolt you pointed out. I always figured I would replace the gasket at some point, maybe even stone the fittings a bit for a...

    Dennis,
    I don't have any ideas about the brake, but can you add some clarification on the blade going 'back and forth'
    From the perspective of where you feed wood to blade is it wobbling 'side to...

    When I had one I felt the TS55 was a little under-powered compared to my normal saws (Makita 5008, Makita 5057) when cutting 3/4" sheets and 4/4+ hardwood. I have heard, though, that the stock blade...

    Dennis, you should order a new blade or two. It might be the blade weld causing the blade to go back and forth.

    It is a lot easier to trust a solid rail. If you are ripping a lot of 8' plywood then you should go ahead and plan to purchase a longer rail.

    For oddball cuts like the "once a year 12' rip" I...

    The 8" ducting might not maintain enough air velocity to keep the lathe shavings moving (downdraft table is probably ok). The Bill Pentz spreadsheet (google) is what I...

    Ken,
    Sorry for your injury.

    I wonder what the odds are to bounce a 1-5/8 screw and have it land tip up. I would bet it is on the order of 1 in a trillion bounces.
