Dusty, now I finally get it. The feather board screws directly into the preset holes. Duh. It was so obvious that I missed it.

Thanks.

Dusty, You mentioned an something in your post about the 555995 Router Table about topside feather boards being able to be used. I could use some help in illustrating this point. How that works is not apparent to me. Also, have you considered installing a T-Track to enable a miter gauge to be used? ...

I seem to recall that a Sawdust Session illustrated how they recommended adding a vertical pole to the floor switch (about waste high) to ease the movement of the switch.

I made two storage items like Dusty's and I find that a quick pass with the dust collector cleans out the compartment just fine. Not a burden.

I could use education on the use of the pre-drilled holes on the 521962 router table. Dusty in his post mentions that they could be used for feather boards. I'm not quite understanding how to affix feather boards to this table.

Any help would be welcome.

I just replaced my bearings on my bandsaw with the SS kit and am impressed with much quieter my bandsaw runs. Just from the change in performance, I wish I had done this quite a while ago.

These bearings and a new 1/2 inch blade solved my alignment problems I have been having.

Thanks everyone on suggestions for correcting my wayward bandsaw cutting. I have some work ahead of me today to work through the suggestions. Most helpful.

This issue will take me to areas of bandsaw maintenance where I have not been before. Should be interesting.

Thanks. I have a feeling I'm trying too much pressure to hold the oak. I'll try your suggestions.

I'm using a new 5/16 blade.

Good questions:
1. 7 degrees off of a center line.
2. Trying to cut block of oak, 3 x 3 x 5 inches to prepare for chisel handle.
3. No fence. Cutting to marked line.

Thanks.
