If you have a dial indicator, check the run out of the top wheel both the vertical and horizontal planes. The wheel may not be round or flat.

There is an app called Whatthefont that may help you.
My original thought was to determine if a home-use type bandsaw in reasonably good condition could be setup/tuned to eliminate drift. What I’m understanding is the answer is yes. It sounds like if...
Thank you to all who have contributed to this thread. I believe my new machine has a crowned tire so I am going to try the Alex Snodgrass method. If that doesn’t work I can always do Plan B.
as...
If I remember correctly, Alex said that as long as the blade stays in the middle of the top wheel, it doesn’t matter if your wheels are coplanar. The location on the bottom wheel doesn’t affect...
I have my first bandsaw on order, so natually, I've been watching many bandsaw videos. Mr. Snodgrass and others says that if your saw is setup correctly, it will not drift. He says it is not THAT...
Thanks for the youtube links. I will check them out.
I did download the free 2017 version to learn the program. I also noted that cabinet sense won’t run on that version. Maybe I’ll give it another go to learn it.
that is what I’m thinking.
I appreciate the comments and suggestions y’all have made. I think I could figure out sketchup if I had a need to use it more often than once or twice a year. Maybe I’ll give it another go. Thank you...
I have tried to learn to use sketch up, but have not gotten very far with it. It just doesn’t come naturally for me although I can use V-carve 2D and lightburn. I saw an extension for Sketchup called...
You may want to try asking this question on the Vectric forum.
I think there are two things you might want to look at. One is the alignment of the boards to the jig. you adjust the brass knobs on the jig to adjust the depth the cut in the boards. And the second...
Guitar building is a complicated task and requires tools and knowledge you don’t have. I have not built a guitar ever but I have watched countless videos of builders. I would venture to say that...
Any reason you can’t engrave the glass with the laser?
Just some thoughts. A diode laser and a CO2 laser are different animals. With the CO2 laser being more complex. However, if you want to cut materials the more power you have the better off you’ll be....
Are you saying there is a hiccup with the controller or the software? Valve covers a pretty tall. Is the travel physically limited? Is the machine overheating? Just a few WAG’s.
no one watch the Jonathan Katz Moses video on sharpening? It’s only a few days old. he seems to have done extensive testing. could be worth a watch.
There’s a lot to be said for diode lasers. They are smaller and less complicated to use than a CO2 laser. CO2 requires an exhaust and air assist and a lot of room. Diode lasers Excel at engraving but...
It would be really helpful for you to know what type of drawer hardware you’re going to use before you build either the cabinet or the drawers. Different types of hardware require different...
Google “ in-line extractor fans”. Many to choose from. Sound levels should be a factor as well as cfm.Just remember that the CFM being extracted needs make up air coming into the enclosure or the...
Unfortunately the bulkiness of the part of the hinge that mounts on the door frame will not work in my situation. The drawer box will hit it I believe.
I have learned a lesson. My first cabinet job. Thanks for the input.
Possible right answer. thanks.
Greetings,
I built some cabinets for the wife and ran into a snag at the end of the project. The drawers work well on the slides, no problem there. The issue came when I installed the doors. I used...
