Shopsmith Forums

I decided to make a box for my saw blades that seem to always in the wrong place. If this doesn't work, I will try something else. Nothing has been glued up yet, still playing around. more boring pictures.

It looks like a good idea. It should keep the blades from beating each other up and in good shape.

I find that the longer I use my Shopsmith, the fewer blades I need and use. Once I switched to carbide blades I find that I use only my 40 tooth carbide blade for everything. All the non-carbide blades went to the junk because even the fine tooth plywood non-carbide blades don't cut as clean as a coarse tooth carbide.

I even put away my 80 tooth carbide blade because the 40 tooth cuts everything just as clean as the 80 does.
