Catchin up 2

Post by wayne_eagle »

At this point my son decided it would be cool for Dad to help him make some shelf units on the new Shopsmith. Three more weekends used up.

They came out ok and I got some rust out at his expense.
I found out I don't like that i have to reset the fence with a tape every time and was beginning to doubt if I had made a wise purchase when I measured to the wrong side of the blade twice on a dado. Good thing it was his birch veneer ply that could get expensive. :rolleyes:
He's a good boy and forgave the old man, took pity on me and bought me a stacking dado set for Christmas.
So here's the shelves. Please forgive the photography.

Does the highlighted statement mean there is a need for some discussion.

Yes, you must keep that kerf in mind when positioning for a cut. If you don't, you are likely to be 3/16" off the intended mark.

What is there to 'forgive'?

I assume you 'do not like' the absence of a calibrated fence top blade indicator. That will disappear over time! I do not trust them myself!
