Got my 1" 3/4 TriMaster from Iturra this week. Finally got some time to put it on the MM16. Decided on the 3/4 pitch after talking to Louis. I rip and resaw, and I get a smoother finish with the 3/4, just have to feed a little slower when resawing.
Ripped some 2x pine just to see if it was significantly smoother than my old blade. Short answer is yes. I can probably tweak for drift a little more, but even so, one or two quick passes with a plane would remove any hit of bs cut marks.
Now I just have to build a taper jig so I can finally get started on that table for SWMBO.
'Course, she called me 3 times when I was installing the blade asking if I was ever going to come next door to visit the neighbors, and now I'm being asked if I'm ever going to come for dinner...
Coming Dear!
