I don't see how some folks just get buy with it
OTT Irregardless is a perfectly good word although seldom useful. It is usually used to indicate an exaggerated position or to make fun of someone's writing or speaking stile.

  A bit more on getting the best from honing guides

I've had the LN gauge a short while now. It was purchased to use with BU plane blades, which require a secondary microbevel. This cannot be done freehand, which would be my preference for honing nearly all other blades.

Why?

I freehand sharpen all my blades and I don't own a sharpening guide.

They are razor sharp. And it's quick and easy to do without a honing guide.

LN makes a nice honing guide, for sure.

But a lot of new woodworkers read your writing, Derek, so when you say something can't be done they might believe you.

In this instance it CAN be done freehand.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the contribution, very creative design. That seat looks unbearable so it's interesting to hear that it is comfy. Woodnet is a nice bit of home when you are in a far away place. It's raining here.

  Amperage rating for vacuum remote
Posted by: wjt - 09-18-2015, 09:15 PM - Forum: Woodworking Power Tools - Replies (3)

Does the vac not have an auto start feature?

which model?

Or maybe I don't understand how you plan to use it, but if you hook a tool to the vac plug itself, turning on the tool turns on the vac, at least all of the Fein's I have seen.

There is a program that a few here use and I downloaded it but it didn't do what I wanted it to.

It could be done as an android app pretty easily. Simple take a pic of the item then info boxes to fill in.

I'd like to do the same but it would be a gargantuan undertaking. The big tools are easy but they are only a small dollar portion of anyone's collection. All those little tools are where the $ is. My aircraft tools alone are worth way more than my big machines are. Those little things are pricey to replace.

  Will BS Blade be Damaged by Glue?
Posted by: Willyou - 09-18-2015, 01:57 PM - Forum: Woodworking Power Tools - Replies (5)

It may survive depending on how much you have to resaw, glue is very hard on any type of blade.

#2 cuz you have space on both sides of the miter saw.
Lathe has room around it too.
I like my bench grinder close by the lathe for a quick edge.
