My MM16 is up and running

[Gary Herrmann]

Due to travel, Spring landscaping and all the other things that get in the way, I have just now finally finished setting up my new MM16. I may have to play with the fence a bit more to adjust for drift - maybe file the pieces where it pivots (wood seems to catch a bit on something as I slide a piece into the blade).

I experimented with resawing a bit - cut some 4" x 12" x 3/32" thick pieces. It wasn't perfect, but I was pretty happy considering I only spent 10 minutes adjusting the fence. I was also just using the 1/2" blade that came with the saw.

Its a very quiet saw. Once I get it completely tuned up I imagine I can use it for ripping as opposed to my little cheapie tablesaw.

I was gonna post pics, but the camera's batteries were dead - charging them now. I'll also post pics of my completed bookcase soon.

Thanks for looking.

You might check the throat plate, that's where mine seems to catch. I've adjusted it but think I may have to take some sandpaper to it to get it right. It's not official until we see the pictures.
