Yeah, that's the same concept as the Unipoint. The rotary table is even more impressive, however. It's size should make angle setting incredibly accurate. Thanks.

Through GF's Facebook forum I finally was able to correspond with someone at GF. They pulled a retainer sample from the batch number the gallon I got came from and, of course, I was told it tested...
Route the stock first. If you make the frame first, there's a really good chance you'll blow out the end of one of the tips of the miters at the corners, and then all your hard work is for naught. ...
Thanks Tom. Clearly I had forgotten the whole story, and was too lazy to reread it all. Thanks for the summary. Two years in and the doors still look great. I think you've found a winning...
Thanks Tom. How did you decide on that combination? Why not just one or the other?

Tom, this has been such a long thread that I'm not sure what product you actually used. Was it EM-2000? The doors sure look good. Are they exposed to sun, direct rain, etc?

Wiping down with acetone doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Many paints are dissolved by it, and I'm not sure how well fiberglass would react if the door isn't primed. I would follow the paint...
I can see how your heart might have skipped a beat building that. But it's a great piece, very unique. Put on some soothing music and enjoy the view with a libation of your choice.

That's the Northfield version of the original Monarch, Bill. What an amazing saw. The industrial, precision, but stationary version of a modern CMS. The one I'm looking at is 3 hp, single phase. ...
ANY organic oil will support mold growth if you live in a climate where that's an issue. Mildewcides work for a few months but not long enough to stop the mold over the course of a year. Ipe' is...
Does anyone have experience with the Monarch Unipoint (sort of) RAS? I see one for sale locally that looks pretty rough. I'd be happy doing a resto on it but only if it's worth the effort, meaning,...
What Jim said, there are no shortcuts when it comes to coloring wood. If everything else in that room is red oak, then I would think about tinting the maple towards the red side of the color...
You either forgot or were unaware that Gass first offered the technology to all the major saw producers for a licensing fee. No one signed up. Only later did he decide to manufacture his own line...
TC used to include test data on the chemical/food durability of their products somewhere. I thought it was on their Tech Data Sheets, but I don't see it there or anywhere now. Does anyone know...
Prashun, I'll use this project as an example of what just a little dye can do. This little table is sapele and birdseye maple. They didn't harmonize together very well until I dyed everything with...
You should learn how to color, Prashun, even if only for your own work. Dyes and toners offer a whole new world of possibilities. Dye, in particular, can produce effects that cannot be achieved...
Just to wrap this up, I ended up using a toner to get the color I needed on the maple while keeping the mahogany compatible. I sprayed one coat of Minwax Oil Modified Polyurethane, followed by...
Thanks to you both, George and Michael, for the discussion. The first tape was a bust for me, but perhaps I discounted 2 sided tape altogether w/o considering other options. I'll give that stuff a...
Thanks.
The cost is pretty much a wash. What you're buying is $0.18/ft. What I buy is $0.08/ft x 2 sides = $0.16. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CHW3XQKT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 ...
I'd be afraid to try heating the entire table, too. Titebond yellow glues lose most of their strength at 150F. Franklin doesn't say how much is lost at 135 - 140F, but I would imagine it's similar,...
Here you go. 8 pieces for $10, with mounting hardware. Amazing.

The threaded stud is 3/8". I used 1/2" diameter...
I built a small electric heated kiln specifically so that it also could kill bugs. As someone said, you have to get the entire piece of wood up to at least 133F for a minimum of 3 hours (I think?)...
That seems like an accurate assessment, Jim. I just upgraded today, and haven't seen much new besides a somewhat more confusing looking design screen and the clamp avoidance feature. Hopefully,...
I cut this simple project today and installed it. 1/8" acrylic, cut great with a 1/8" 0-flute bit. With no vacuum hold down, though, it took a lot of blue tape and CA glue to hold it down so the...
I upgraded. Please tell me why I should be excited.
