Very Cool. Where can we find more info about how the vise is built?
A quick search didn't find much except the video already linked.

I have a double sided 300/1000 diamond stone that's great. I sometimes wish I had a more coarse one for removing deep gouges, but otherwise it cuts plenty fast. With a modest amount of patience it...
X2 paper trick.
On a large saw the couple wraps of newspaper works well most times.
After that if it "tracks" to one side a bit, I take a mid grit (600-1000, I think mine is 600) diamond stone...
Removal depends on what its on and how bad, to some degree, obviously your methods would be different for a plane vs a large surface like a table saw top.
As far a prevention, I use Johnson's...
Definitely an amateur here, but I'm more leaning toward the skill side of things, as long as there is one understanding.
For a beginning user like me, I find it best to invest in or borrow...
That Makita blade may be just the ticket. Not negative hook, but a lot less hook than what he has. And the price is right.
They have them in 40 and 60 tooth also.
Thanks for the help guys.

Their U-verse junk is no better....
Only my lights just start blinking at random, whenever it wants. On the third one, its not as bad, but I'm calling Newwave monday to see about switching...
My dad has an old Craftsman RAS he uses for projects maybe 3-4 times a year. I was recently out there to help him on one project, and noticed it has the wrong blade in it (pos. hook). As we all have...
At that price, never mind.
I liked the idea of power and speed control out where I can get at them w/o reaching under the table.
Power switch is no biggy, but some of the variable speed...
I have a Vega Utility 50 on a Grizzly Go661, bolts right up. Not exactly your set-up, but all the mounts should be the same.
I do like my Vega fence, and it made in Decatur Il too, only about 30...
You know the one, had a power/speed control part way up the cord that could be mounted on the side of your router table.

Are they discontinued? I cant seem to find one anywhere.

Just a little update.....Hard to believe I have had this saw 5 years now.
Saw is still doing great, cuts everything I have thrown at it without hesitation.
Still seams surprisingly powerful for...
Thanks guys. It helps having others that get it to help.

I thought it should, but when I tried that, the directory appears empty when I go in to it thru import.
Its all there, with sketchup closed, if I just go My documents>sketchup files>whatever, I...
Thanks Tony, that works.
I would have thought there would be a way to do it "off-line". Just strange to me. If the files are in my pc why should I have to upload them to the web just to...
O.K. I thought I would draw a few basic parts up and keep them as templates, then import when needed to whatever I am working on at the moment.
Like drawing up all (like I have more than 2:() my...
I agree, it has crossed my mind many times. I have wondered if a hydraulic press could maybe be used to make them in small quantities if you had a mold. Not sure what "glue" would be best to use as a...
After looking at the metal lathes a bit more, I think one of them may be better for me. I dont have room for a big one, let alone 2. High speed would be lacking a little, but I think it would work...
+ 1 for the Huskey.
I have a 16" Huskey for small every day stuff, works great, pretty aggressive for a small saw.
I also have a little 16" homelite that is down at the moment for unknown reasons....
Long story short, I am looking for a 10-12" or round about size lathe capable of doing woodwork AND some minor metal work.
Price is a consideration, but I have learned to keep it a "consideration"...
Grizzly's G0661 has been a good saw for me so far. The motor is under the table, not out back, so the footprint is not to bad. You can run it on 110, or 220. It's heavier than a Bosch, but not as...
Mike, mine still slows like that. It does seem like a brake almost dont it? Well, any which way, its a good thing in my book. The faster the blade stops after power off, the better.
Other Jim,...
Sorry I have not updated lately, Soooooooo busy.
I have used this saw now for a bit over a year, and would recommend it to whoever, great "little" saw. I still dont know how a "contractor" would...
Here is a link to the emblem Cassondra is thinking of.....

After looking at it for a minute, I think she is right, it would make a neat ornament.
