try it like i said i check mine before each cut drives my wife nutz
I have several Wixey Gage’s. A magnetic angle gage for setting the blade at an angle. A depth gage for setting up my router and an angle gage for my chop saw. They all work very well but you have to remember to remove the batteries for long term storage.
If you are trying to set the width from the blade to the fence, try this. Set the fence at 2” and make a cut. Measure the width, if it is 2” your setting is correct, if not set the pointer to the measurement you got, then readjust to 2” and make another cut. When you measure again you should get 2”.
That would have been my next question, I have project that will require some accurate thickness planing If this works out put one on my planer.
I use a Wixey angle gauge to check my table saw and miter saw for true 90°. Works well. Turn it on, set it on the table, hit the zero-set button; then move the Wixey to the flat surface of the blade. Magnets in the device will stick to the blade. Take the reading.
“have numerically controlled machinery you can join by the month. “
How do you join numerically controlled machinery? USB?
By the month?
Yep, use your Thumb Drive....
This explains why your roof leaked.
Roofing is too much like work, cheaper to have someone else do it. If they screw up sue ‘em.
It’s a reference to “Unforgiven”.
I have a Powermatic saw and I use 10” commercial blades - all 1/8” kerfs. I have used some of the ultra-thin rip blades but . . . why? By using professional blades my fence and gauge work together perfectly with repeatable accuracy.
Looks like an inexpensive version of the DROs I use on my lathes and manual mills. I say go for it. The price looks really good for what it is and they wouldn’t be on the market if they were junk.
Screw machines... It is always fun when I see something apparently simple sitting around and hand it to someone and ask them how it’s made. “You mean that machine needs all that just to make this little screw?”
I went the other way. Started out as a welder, got through college, became an aerospace engineer, then quit that and went back and started a machine shop.
The only time I use one of the installed measuring devices is after making a cut and finding the material still has too much on it - then I use the markings to trim down to size.
When I try to use them exclusively, I can be heard saying, "I wonder what's wrong here - I cut this piece 3 times and it's still to short."
