    I've sprayed several gallons of EM1000/EM6000, here are some things you might try:

    - Try applying some water (distilled if you're paranoid) with a bottle sprayer or a rag prior to the sanding with...

    Using a dial or test indicator is the proper way to go. Cheapie .001 is sufficient but .0005 is easier to read.

    I'd just caution against using dial calipers in this application (as has been...

    John has given you a lot of good advice already.

    You might want to check out http://www.solowoodworker.com/tools/resaw.html. The bottom line is that all steels behave pretty much the same, so no...

    Van,

    I'm curious, how much variability did you experience across the 6 tension meters you used? I would have expected all of these to be within 10% or so. So if my gauge reads 25k, I could see...

    John,

    I'm no engineer, so if you say that frame flex does not affect the force applied, I stand corrected. I will say that when I was running my measurements, I would measure the tension on the...

    Alan,

    I would stick to the thinner blade. Mostly because the kerf will likely be thicker on the .042 blade, and with a bandsaw you want to keep the kerf width to a minimum to maximize stock...

    When I was shopping for my bandsaw no manufacturer would provide any actual hard numbers about blade tension. The only thing one could judge a bandsaw was actual owner's experience (which is quite...

    Albert,

    i used an aftermarket spring. Choose a size that would fit in the housing. I ended up with 2x4.5” spring from Danly. See part number 9-3218-36

    The FB710 was a perfect saw for my...

    Funny you ask. I have a 710 and live only a few miles away from Driftwood. My saw is about 3 years older than yours, so things might have changed, but when I was shopping for mine, I had...

    I generally do this with a chisel and a file. Pare away the corners to remove most of the waste then round off with a file. Don't file too close to the shoulder, it is too easy to mess up the...

    King Size Bed

    Finished this in late spring last year. King size bed made from quarter sawn Sipo Mahogany (very close to Sapele), Wenge inlays and Pomelle Sapele veneer:

    Yes, mine came with the pinned hood. Same as the one James is showing. I think Minimax specs all their US machines this way. I also have a tenoning hood. The shaper table is drilled in two places...

    I have a T55I which is the earlier model but largely the same machine. It is a nice low to mid duty shaper, about 1000 pounds (with ballast.). The hood is quite nice. I added the Aigner shaper...

    John,

    There are left over impressions from my wet mil gauge in the picture. There are 3 or 4 middle teeth impressions, which corresponds to 75 to 100 um (3-4 mil). I pulled it at a slight angle,...

    Wayne,

    The latest sample I sprayed (in the picture above) was a pre-finished flooring plank left over from my floor install. It had a good thick layer of finish on it, completely flat. I wiped...
  17. Update

    So I ran some more tests. I switched to a CA Technologies Lynx 100H gun (siphon fed). This gun operates at 18 psi inlet. Also added an extra pressure regulator for the fluid. Using a 1.2 N/N setup...

    John,

    I've heard conflicting advice on the mil thickness. Many experienced users recommend thin coats, just enough to flow out. From my experience the defects just get amplified the thicker the...

    Wayne,

    My findings seem to be that the finish bubbles / pinholes regardless of whether the grain is filled or not. The board I sprayed was pretty much completely filled. Maybe a dozen tiny...

    John,

    I agree that Clear Poly lays down nicer, particularly in lower sheen versions that also hide some of the imperfections. However, PreCat has burn-in qualities and I'm planning on rubbing...

    I've been trying to teach myself how to spray finishes and quite frankly it has been a struggle. I can't seem to get a decent sprayed coat even under ideal circumstances. I've gotten by with...

    If you're gluing these, then the tenon should be .004 undersized. E.g. .004" smaller than the mortise. Glue will swell the joint and produce a tight fit.

    Thanks for the responses so far. In my (admittedly still limited) experience with Sipo, most of the movement happens when a board is ripped. Not so much when jointed / planed. So my standard...
