Re: Box edges-need some suggestions.

Alright-now I'm getting close to done I think. Decided on double bevel on cover with single bevel on base. Interior base image also done. Cross is dowel mounted thru top and because I screwed up the holes, I hid them with some walnut "dimes" on the inside. The top/base used a light pecan s...

Re: New Generation 2 PowerPro Headstock Touchscreen

Yea- Stop buttons too small to my liking. With a touch screen the stop button could be 3 inches across, I don't like hunt and peck
for emergency features.

Re: Double Tilt Upgrade from Lowes

Oh Ok - well - I wont ask anyone to crawl under their dusty machines to take a pic :)

Here is a pic of the one I have. Youre supposed to draw that gnurled knob to the right in the pic which allows for easy disengagement.

Re: Double Tilt Upgrade from Lowes

I have the double tilt and lift assist on mine.

For whatever reason I have a lot of difficulty with the quick disconnect on the lift assist ... unhooking it, and hooking it back on.
So I dont think I ever use the left side of the double tilt arrangement anymore.

Re: band saw - how good is "good"?

There is a free hand fence alignment you can do as well to ensure a consistent thickness cut. Though it doesn't sound like
it is off much at the moment.

Re: Box edges-need some suggestions.

Alright- some more progress on those edges. I tried the full (top and bottom 45s) on a scrap piece. It wasn't 100% to my liking, but I think one 45 bevel on both the base and cover is a start which I can add further to later if I want but I think the single bevels look pretty good-shown in 2nd image...

Re: Box edges-need some suggestions.

Oh that mild 45 chamfer is a nice look ! Thanks for the visual br549 ! I'm sure i can do the long edge chamfers pretty easily, but are the short edge (vertical) chamfers cut by hand ? Someone asked about the dimensions..i forget exactly at the moment but it is near 200 cu in. I think the interior di...

Box edges-need some suggestions.

So I'm working on this burial ashes box for somebody. General shape/design is done but I keep looking at the top/base (light colored hard maple) and thinking I need to do something to those very square edges. I go back and forth between leaving it square as is, or softening either the horizontal edg...
