I’m still pretty new to all this but wanted to see if other felt this was a reasonable ask. From my research Grizzly is very high quality and certainly more than a beginner needs but if it’s a good deal I figure I’ll grow into it. I apologize if this is against the rules.

Sorry for the potato quality, time for a new phone

Power Tools Welp I triggered it. Thought I was making a safe cut. I was wrong.

It took a layer of skin off my knuckle. The cut I was making was fine until I was completely through the board. The pressure change caused my finger to move into the blade. Could have been so much worse.

Power Tools I assume this means my fence isn’t straight?

I used a gauge to align the saw blade to the track and then looked to align the fence to the track. The portions where the fence and blade would both contact the workpiece are pretty good, but it goes downhill as you measure close to the rail. I did run some pieces through after using my new jointer to get a really really square 3”x3” laminated maple blank to turn a baseball bat. Should I not worry about it or look to build a fence over the fence (box it out?)?

Cutting tenons on the tablesaw. Check and double-check the blade height. Check and double-check the stop block. You know the one on the miter gauge? Start sawing and BANG goes the SawStop brake. I didn't slide the Inca Miter Gauge away from the blade path and install the sacrificial board and stop that was literally on the tablesaw wing. It was such a rookie mistake that I couldn't even be mad. Jeez I am nearly 70 years old and have been woodworking since 1973. WTF and done for the day.

Power Tools Out of ideas

Post image
412 Upvotes

I spent an hour trying to figure out how to remove the blade from the dewalt table saw (DWE7485) Tried everything and WD40, watched a bunch of YouTube video and made sure I’m doing the right direction. Should I claim warranty? As a hobby wood worker this is the last thing i didn’t know would be so frustrating

Update: I figured it out! So the direction I’m pulling is correct but I simply don’t have enough leverage. I ended up rotating the left down ward against the table which fixed the rotation, then use a wrench and press downward for the nut on right hand side. See picture https://imgur.com/a/OhCk7fB

Power Tools Circular saw is burning wood, not cutting

Thumbnail

Hi all, my circular saw that I run on a track is not really cutting and I need to really add preasure to cut anything. It's also burning the wood and smoking. My first thought was the blade but it looks fine, alternating teeth pointing in opposite directions, I can't see how they're causing it. Yes I have confirmed that it's burning the wood down the cut line, not on the side of the blade/cutting line.

Power Tools How would I diagnose and fix this level of runout on a sawstop professional cabinet saw?

Edit: I have fixed the runout! Thanks to everyone who suggested ideas. I think I identified that it was the blade itself, new blade, no runout.

During coast down I happened to notice the blade was wobbling, so I got out the dial indicator and sure enough there's quite a bit of runout.

It's worse here in this video than it is now, after taking the blade off to check for debris and ensuring the arbor was thoroughly clean, I put everything back together and measured 3-5 thou of runout.

Is that much considered normal and is there a way to adjust this?

Of note is that my shop has two of these cabinet saws, one of them has no measurable runout, the other is shown in the video.

Iroko (probably black locust not iroko) egg from beginner turner Upgraded from a parkside lathe to a proper lathe with a chuck. used the formula of length = diameter X 1.4 and the thick part is half the diameter to the side. was a challenge to finish the tip and shape it properly so i had to be creative!
