Re: Sharpening Guide
Mike; Thanks for pointing me to the 40/40 grind . In the article I mentioned, Mike Mahoney does refer to Stuart Batty . After seeing your post, I looked up Batty and I see he has a lot to offer. I appreciate the link. Ed, Don't know if it is helpful or not, but Ashley Harwood worked with Stuart Bat...

Re: Festool TS 55 won't start
This is embarrassing. The problem was simple. The Festool power cord has a lock that must be twisted to fully engage. Even though the first thing I tried was to remove it and put it back on, apparently I did not twist it far enough and it wasn't locked on. A good twist and now it is making sawdust ...

Re: Festool TS 55 won't start
Alan, Sorry to hear that. I haven't had a problem with mine yet. If the power cord is good, brushes maybe? Have you tried checking them and/or re-seating them? There is also a thermal overload device, but it sounds like the saw was cold beforehand so I doubt it was that...unless you were using it a ...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
You guys are welcome to debate the deficiencies in the US patent system all you want. I am not going to get in the middle of that. I just want to point out that so called "inventors" come up with an idea first and try to patent, and maybe second attempt to create/build a product using it. ...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
Superhet - a definite game changer! ! ! ! AMEN!!! Unfortunately, much of wireless communications today has reverted back to the homodyne architecture thanks to zero/low IF (direct conversion) type architectures. Data converter (and semiconductor) technology has advanced tremendously permitting this...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
Yes I recognized the 4 names. IMO Tesla's 'ideas' won out even if they were not beneficial to him, but unquestionably we all benefit from them today. Tis a sad tale fer sure and a lesson re powerful 'figures'. My knowledge of De Forest/Armstrong is essentially nil but I think it had to do with broa...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
'Debating' was not my intent either. JPG, No, I agree and didn't think you were debating it. I just wanted to make it more clear what I said in the previous post. There are flaws in any system, whether it is government agencies like the CPSC or the patent system. I choose not to debate them here. I...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
Thanks JPG. It may not have been clear up above, but my intent is not to debate the patent system and all of its pluses and minuses. Since I don't consider myself knowledgeable enough on all of those areas, I called myself Switzerland and will leave that for others to discuss if they so choose. Afte...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
PATENTS: I disagree with some of the comments shared here, but I recognize and appreciate those differences. We all have our own biases, preconceived notions and sometimes lack of enough information to all arrive at the same place. I will preface that I am no expert on patents, the patent system, i...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
I say this thread is valid, the subject matter is of concern, or should be, for every woodworker. The information is timely and pertinent, therefore I would like to know exactly what is objectionable to some. +1000 I understand there are differing opinions on this forum and this diversity is what I...
