I posted this in the video description of the last video shared by RF Guy: Contact Doug via email at: douglas.techno.smith(AT)gmail(DOT)com and let him know that I sent you and that you are interested in a download of his catalog of 3D products, as well as the STL file for the chisel guide.

Indeed! I was blessed with a pair of aces!

A combo blade would probably be fine if you have a few 1x4 that you want to rip down to, say, 1x2. But as JPG says, if you're doing a lot of ripp...

Thanks for that, RF Guy. Now we will get a bunch of questions about why Shopsmith doesn’t incorporate it!
