    My theory is that the grit needs a chance to bite at the wood and speed diminishes the chance. Turn the speed up if you want to burnish the wood.

    My bet would be saw dust and other debris might build up around the edges of the boss/rib and mess with the fit. The grooves help alleviate it.

    I still do #8 when I'm cutting the grass. It still works wonderfully. I have to admit to ordering a set earbuds for it.

    I had that lathe and the spindle bearings are a problem. The lathe works well for spindle turning but does poorly with items held in a chuck as in bowl turning. I would not advise purchasing it.

    Stens has very good blades. They make a high lift blade but also have a bagging blade. The high lift blade is designed more for mulching.

    My son is a puzzler. I was over the other day and he is working on a Where's Waldo puzzle. Very confusing but I did find quite a few pieces to install while there.

    I don't believe it does. I don't often tighten mine but if you do it may mushroom on the end easier than it does now. On the upside it will come out of the hole easier if it is mushroomed.

    Why not just but appropriate size band saw blade and use a length of it. Teeth are already set and sharp. I wonder though if they might be too aggressive for hand sawing.
