I have been accused of changing subjects within a thread and I don't want to do that (at least not intentionally). But here goes. I don't know if eds' input was prompted by discussions about the Wixey angle indicator or not. The Wixey proclaims to be accurate to within 1/10 of a degree. I attended ...

Well I see this is going some place other then where I thought it would.... well, I guess that's OK, go where you want with it. I was kind of thinking more on the line of exceptable errors... is 1/10 degree off OK with everyone? Anyone settle for 1/2 degree off? Is 1/10 degree still way too much err...

Weekend project Please read only if you like math and want some information about how far a cut is off when the angle is wrong. As an example if you were to set your miter gauge to 90 degrees but the setting is off by 1 degree, you cut a 10 inch width of wood and put a square to it and the error sho...

Hi, For the sake of completeness I wanted to mention that I did some mods to the old systems table routing table inserts so I could use guide bushings that I already own. If you are interested in seeing that information it is at: http://www.ssug.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1430 And yes more pictures ...

Hi, The item number you are looking for is 555456, that is the same one for both the routing system and the joint-matic stand. I checked just before I posted this and it looks like they have it. There is some work involved in putting them on. If your stand is as old as mine then the some of the hole...

If you saw my posting at the other site I mentioned that I was using a Hitachi router for this system and since we are now talking a bit more detailed about the routers.... If you want to look up the Hitachi it is a M12VC, 2-1/2 HP, 8000-24000 rpm, and a 5 year warranty. I checked the price at Amazo...

Hi, In my earier post had not take the time to check out the link but after reading Chucks response I did. I have to agree with Chuck on this one... I have not seen any extra vibration on my wobble in fact it runs very nice and clean and certainly as smooth as any blade I have. Another option that w...

Some of you have no idea about the old system shopsmith use to sell, you might have seen the post on the subject I have done before or some of the current OPR posts... Now see what the old/orginal ones looked like. I have just finished uploading a bunch of pictures and writing a long posting at: htt...
