Welcome to the 302.

I make my cauls straight and then use a shim or two in the middle to create pressure btween the clamps. The cauls should be stiff enough to press out the cup, but flexible enough to bend and crapply...

A good operator can break down 40 sheets of plywood into cabinet parts before lunch on a slider. All with very little attention to settings and accuracy. I don't even want to think about doing that...

Drill a hole in the fence rail and drop a bolt into it to create a positive stop so the fence can't hit the blade.

This is a well documented issue with Sawstop. The plywood faces were wonky junk. Loosen the screws and shim with tape. Or, better yet, fab up a new face with better material.

Use cauls to evenly clamp front to back on each shelf. One your glue is dry, your golden.

That was my first thought. I've recreated many a historic detail with Bondo and an old credit card. Learned it from a plaster molding guy.

They were just less efficient.

I would've liked to have seen the tree and what part of the tree it can from.

I suspect that the primary pupose of the dowels is to align the parts properly. Notice how little material is trimmed from the top and bottom of the door. That requires a good deal of precision and...

Can you get to the top of the bolt? Bolts not meant to turn, so the nut up top has to adjust tension. What happens when you tighten the top nut to the casting?

As long as your stiles are adequately sized, your joints are tight, and your adhesive is good, your cope and stick joints should be good for generations to come. Remember, the structural integrity of...

In my opinion, thin kerf blades have no place on a format saw. Their flexible nature defeats one of the main reasons for going with a beefier machine. Thin kerf blades will begin resonating while...

You might want to test your strength hypothesis. I have and threaded inserts didn't come out on top. Yes, the bolt is stronger than a screw, but neither is like to fail. What fails is the thread to...

Why use inserts when an equal number of large screws will do the job?

I would contact me and have me make your panels.:D Seriously though, get someone who is equipped and knows what they're doing to do the job. Failures can be expensive and, depending on the...

I straight my edges on the slider or on a table saw sled. I don't touch them with a hand plane, it's not necessary. Any saw marks won't show if the seams nice and straight. Any deviation from...

Hmm, has Woodpecker been digging through my archives.https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?152256-Festool-Domino-Table-and-double-shot-of-the-Kool-Aid-gloat&highlight=

I use a set of those gun cleaning brushes. They come in several sizes and work on dowel/Domino holes perfectly.

Occam's Razor dictates that the blade was accidently damaged during handling or storage. Kinks don't happen naturally and the link is likely the cause of the crack.

I would think that ripping that much plywood on any dinky jobsite saw isn't a valid option. The small fence and unstable work surface don't lend themselves to hours and hours of material processing....

I use 1/2 inch for drawers that large.

My experience is that the Incra system is more reliable. DROs, accept for those that read from motor revolution, need to be monitored and calibrated more often than I'd like. They're precision is...

I always just use Titebond III, my standard glue. I have found that I can't rush stuff out of the clamps in an hour like I normally do. I've had large table tops just split at the seam if I don't let...
