Well, you could look for some Freeborn cutters -- https://freeborntool.com/mc-line-3-4-bore-cabinet-cope-pattern-sets-3-4-to-1-1-8-material/ ...

Tension really matters when 1) the guides are not set properly (they should be extremely close to the blade to provide support and, well, guidance to...

FYI, I have a Starret tension gauge. I put it on my 1" Woodmaster CT and here is the result: And here is the result of resawing a bunch of...

That's not quite true. If you do not bore a clearance hole for the shank of the screw in the top piece, you risk not cinching the top piece to the...

If you think that tension is going to solve your drift "problem," I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Drift is solved by nothing more than...

Nice. I personally have not found the Woodmaster CT to be that sensitive to tension -- I run it with results similar to yours on my FB510 with...

Rather than going all in on a top of the line vacuum setup, you might consider first trying your hand at it. You can achieve just as good of results...

There are several methods to achieve the result that may manage the risk of injury. Perhaps a list of ways to do this would be constructive? Here's...

Baltic birch is not in short supply in Colorado.

Jonathan, if you wish to upgrade your guides to ceramic, a less expensive way to do it (rather than buying the Felder guides) is to order the ceramic...
