I have finally whipped out 3 nice circles for my homemade Thiele dust collection cyclone (also thanks to this site) and the bandsaw ...

Cutting circles on Bandsaw - need coaching

I just ordered and received (off ebay) an upgrade to the lower saw saw guide for my Mark V 500. The photo doesn't show the actual guard which works fine. But t...
