Re: Cutting miters

It is possible to clamp the work piece to the miter gage at the desired angle , leaving the edge of the work piece off the table edge a 1/2 inch or so ,with the sanding disc installed just extend the quill , it is even possible to use the depth stop if desired . the trick to a crisp edge is the grit...

Re: my bad jointer technique?

I know it may make a little dust but for something that short a disc sander would do the trick just as well as anything . just something to consider . JMO

Re: Tell me what this tool does

Thank you Stew. I was thinking along the same idea as a pantograph. I did a Google search and Amazon provided a similar device, except the router holder is slightly different. The brand is "Milescraft" My mystery solved. Now I can put it in the dumpster. OH NO No tool should ever go in th...

Re: my bad jointer technique?

I rarely use a joiner. I'll use the table saw, hand planes, hand-held power planer, and sanding to get that edge straight first. Maybe if I kept a joiner mounted I'd be more likely to use it, but I haven't had the need that often. I have a DeWalt planer now and I'd use that to flatten the face of a...

Re: my bad jointer technique?

As versatile as a joiner is in making a square edge and flatting the sides it may be best to use a reference line in keeping the edge lines parallel . jmo

Re: How to remove hardened epoxy

I have a set of these that do a very nice job ,you will need to sharpen them and find a way to secure the piece , we call them Luther planes do to the fact they are used in making string instruments ,but others just call them mini planes , if not sand sand and sand some more ?? https://www.harborfre...

Re: crosscut bevel on short pieces

JMO I like the disc sander and or router , maybe even a hand plane being careful of the ends so you don't chip them out , once you get it close a sanding block with fine grit mounted to the table . knife marks may help as a guide .

Re: Newbie, looking for a little info

There are alternative options to working with large sheets and heavy materials , a scroll saw can be quite safe and the detail of the work is only limited by your imagination.

Re: Resawing - cut results - one face smooth, the other face rought

Copy that , there is a tool that sets the kerf on some blades , hand saws , band saw blades and such , I have never done it , it wouldn't be beyond my experimenting capabilities to find a used one and a old blade for the band saw and gently adjust a couple teeth , my guess is that if you do not do i...

Re: Newbie, looking for a little info

JMO You mentioned you have health issues , so when selecting the machine that would be best for you IMO first and for most for me would be creature comforts and safety issues , the MKV 510 has a larger table that gives you a lot more surface area . that means less physical intervention when lifting...
