Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for hearing protection in the shop. I don't like using ear plugs and want the absolute best ear muff hearing protection available.

Any...

Glenn,
Thanks.
I notice your fence is 6 inches high. That would help kn resawing I would guess.
My plan is to tune up the bandsaw, try resawing without special fences, see how that goes.
What...

I bave a Grizzly G1148 bandsaw. I plan on doing some resawing. Do I need a resaw fence (Grizzly makes one but not for my model, which they no longer make), or do I simply need a properly tuned...

Don't know if this thread is still being monitored. I have a Grizzly G1148 15 inch bandsaw. I want to start resawing some wood, generally 6 quarters thick by 10 inches. Various types of wood. My...

Hi all,

One final comment. Photos of kerf cut.
Sorry the second pic is off 90Deg
Thank you all for all your help and support376996376997

Jerry,

I think you're right. Besides, I couldn't get the kerf calculator to work. My numbers seemed to fall outsides its range of input parameters.
I'll try a kerf every inch or so. I agree its...

John K Jordan,

Thank you. I got the same figure

I have a sneaking suspicion my attachment did not work. It is supposed to be a scan of a sketch I made of what I am trying to do.
The board in question is 55 3/4 inches long, 5/4 thick and...

Jerry,
I don't know the radius.
What picture icon

Hi all,
I have to admit I don't understand the kerf cutting calculator.
I wanted to attach a sketch of what I am trying to kerf cut but I can't figure out how to attach a file.
Can anyone step...

Jerry,
Yes, it would be nice to kow how much curve. Not too sure how to calculate that.
Tim, steambending not really an option.

Thanks to all for your input. Mike I will check out your link. To those of you who suggested scribing, the piece in question has the flat side of the wood against the wall (the piece is 1 1/4 thick x...

Hi all,
I am building q fireplace mantle using poplar. The wall has a slight curve to it. I want to run some kerf cut through the poplar so I can bend it. From what I saw on YouTube, it looked like...

Matt,
As nearly as I can tell the jointer is set up properly; the fence is perpendicular to the table; the outfeed table is parallel to the cutters; infeed and outfeed tables are coplanar. I think I...

Thanks Brian. I didn't notice a twist.

Thanks, Yonak. I didn't even notice it. Item recently sold on Ebay.

Matt Day,

Not yet. Busy holiday season. See the photos I just added.

The photos above are from opposite sides of the board I ran through my new jointer. The top of the board is what was run through the jointer.
Does this supply any clues as to what I...

Jack,

No, I didn't surface 4 faces on the jointer. As I mentioned, I understand that only the edge and flat would get jointed, the opposing edge and flat would be addressed on a table saw and...

Thanks to all for your responses:

1. The jointer is a CUTECH 8 inch bench top jointer
2. I'll supply pictures to help with the troubleshooting
3. I understand that the jointer is used to square...

<p>
Hi all, I just purchased a jointer. I havee never used one before. The first board I tried to joint started off fairly square (sighting down the flat edge and joint edge it looked fairly...

Thanks again Nick. I suspect I may follow your advise. I&#39;ll check back in when I&#39;m up and running. If you&#39;re still around I&#39;ll let you know how it goes.

Thanks Nick,
I never thought about the cleaning and tightening of the cutters. I will certainly make certain they and their surfaces are clean. Do you know if CUTECH has any input on the tightening...

Thanks Nick and Andrew,

Yes, I understand this is not a true helix-head, and I would not expect helix head results from it. I am mostly interested in smooth square surface on the flats and edges....
