    Saw blade off-center on new Sawstop table saw

    I got a sweet deal on a SawStop Contractor saw with table extension off eBay a couple of weeks ago. Picked it up from the previous owner, who hadn’t even completed assembling it (his wife surprised him with a SS cabinet saw), and finally completed assembly today. While going over everything, I...

    Setting up and tuning a ridgid 14" bandsaw

    I bought my saw in early 2006 on a closeout, and moved to NC and packed it in a shed. Earlier this month I started setting up my TINY shop, and it was time to set up the bandsaw. After my initial assessment, I finished putting it all together per the manual, and found the yellow safety key...

    Jointer alignment

    I understand that the infeed and outfeed tables on my Powermatic 60B 8" jointer must be coplanar, but how much tolerance is there. Try as I might I can't get them perfect - the far end of the infeed table is probably .020 or so lower than the end nearest the cutter head and the outfeed table. Is...

    Update: Jointer alignment issue

    This is an update to a previous post. This may not be the best way of updating, so please excuse any posting protocol issues. Attached is a drawing of the measurements taken on my jointer tables with a 4' Veritas straight edge. I still don't know if the discrepancies I'm seeing are enough to...

    Knife Alignment Tool for Planer

    I have a Delta Model 22-540 thickness planer I bought off of a friend in AZ very cheap a few years ago, but he could not find the manual or knife setting tool. The planer has served my needs, but the knives are now dull. I took one out and discovered the other edge is sharp. I was curious if...

    Miter Saw Help Needed

    Miter saw help, please. I’m stumped. My Delta 36-225 10” compound (non-sliding) miter saw, equipped with sharp Freud LU85 is producing 90-dgree cuts that are crowned. What I’m calling a crown amounts to a cut that curves ever-so slightly outwards from the edge closest to the fence, reversing its...

    Table saw alignment issues

    After a variety of issues, I was checking blade parallelism on my TS (Grizzly G0691 - cabinet saw) and found it was a bit off. I raised the blade to full height and re-aligned to the right miter slot using a dial indicator (~0.001" front to back). After lowering the blade to my cutting height, I...

    Table Saw blade alignment

    Hello fellow woodworkers. I recently purchased a new Incra TSLS fence system for my Table saw. While waiting for it to arrive I decided to check out my alignments on the saw today. What I found is the rear of the blade to the left miter is off by .004 away from the fence (checked by a dial...

    Table Saw Fence Alignment

    Every now and then, usually after finishing a big project, I like to "tweek" all my major power tools. I just finished said major project, a walnut pencil post bed, and spent yesterday checking and adjusting my drill press, jointer, radial arm saw and table saw. First, let me explain that I...

    alignment solution

    Here is my solution to aligning my table saw, etc. I took a miter guage I don't use, drilled and tapped holes, mounted a plate, and attach my magnetic dial guage to it. Now my saw is within .001.

    Proper alignment of Splitter/guard on TS

    Well I have my first major tool purchase... what I wanted was the Rigid model that someone else just recently purchased. But for a starter model that fit our budget, I got the craftsman one from Sears. I put the stand together last night and one of the 4 bolt holes that mount the saw to the...

    Sliding tablesaw outrigger alignment

    I am trying to get my outrigger fence aligned on my sliding tablesaw, and quite frankly, I can say it has been a PITA. For those unfamiliar with what an outrigger is (I was until I started looking at these things), it is the big cross cut assembly that you can cross cut an entire sheet of...

    Fence alignment gage

    I was looking at pictures posted by forum members and ran across a fence alignment gage. It was mounted on a router table in the miter slot. My question is why would you need to align the fence on a router table to the miter slot. I ask this question with all respect. My router table fence is a...

    Bandsaw Blade Alignment Fun

    My experience with the bandsaw is much too limited and I'm reminded by this yesterday ... here's what went down ... I have a Grizzly G0555 14" bandsaw & decided it needed more cutting clearance, so I ordered the riser block set. It was a piece of cake to install ... however that's were the...
