"I'm almost as impressed with your photos as your work. How did you get the printing and arrows in your photos?" Thanks charlese. I use OpenOffice.org. It's a free download program that does just about anything that Microsoft Office can do and maybe a few things it can't. Word processing, ...

"One, how does the weight feel with that much metal hanging out so far out?" It is a little hefty but not too bad. If you pick it up in the middle of the fence it slides right in the slot. "Two, do you have something on the bottom of the fence to make it slide easier?" Nothing on...

Thanks Ed.
There is 1" clearance from the blade to the end of the fence.

I have been reading some threads about reusing the 510 rip fence for other purposes after upgrading to the 520 system. I recently upgraded so I decided to use mine as an Aux. Miter Gauge Fence. I attached a metal tape and made two stop blocks, one fixed and one flip-up, to use with it. To see the pi...

Thanks everyone. I was just doing some test cuts on some pine while setting the saw up. Since then I have done some adjusting on the blocks and tried some oak and the results were a lot better. I also ordered the cool blocks, 1/16" and 5/8" blades.

It just seems that if you pay that kind of money for a tool you would get better results. I have a ($100) bench top bandsaw that cuts smoother, so maybe it's just the blade. (I hope...

I just received my new SS bandsaw today. I got it set up according to the book and did the test cut to align the fence and the cut came out fairly straight but very ragged or rough looking. I assumed the cuts should be much smoother. I am using the 1/4" blade that came with the saw. Can anyone ...

Just got my Dw735 last week. Lowe's has a $60 rebate on it. I added the in-outfeed tables and the Wixey electronic digital readout. Now I don't even have to use calipers to check the thickness. It's almost too easy.

Hi John. I too just joined this forum and recognize you and Ed from the router forum. Just wanted to say hello.

I bought my Mark V 510 last Nov. and would dearly love to be able to afford the attachments for it but it was a real hit to my budget just to get the MkV. I am retired and on a fixed income so I have to save where I can. I just got a Ridgid 6" jointer for half what the SS would cost and it is a...
