Re: Just got a 10E
The saw guard is from a radial arm saw. The protuberance is a mount for an anti-kickback pawl, which is a dead giveaway. I’m not sure about the brand. The thing just to the left of the saw guard, sitting on the miter-gauge bar, looks like a jigsaw attachment, likely for a radial arm saw as well. Giv...

Re: Jigs and Fixtures
Larry, whenever I need to place two WoodAnchor slots close together, I simply try to keep the closest distance between them (i.e. the weakest section) appropriate for the application. For example, if the closest distance between slots is 3/4”, that “weak” section will have roughly the same strength ...

Re: Jigs and Fixtures
For a sacrificial miter gauge fence, I once laminated two pieces of 12 mm BB plywood, and vertically offset the fixturing slots on each side. An alternative, If you don't have the vertical space to offset them sufficiently, is to just laminate up a thicker piece. Miter gauge fence LowRes.JPG That sa...

Re: Jigs and Fixtures
Those spacers are a neat idea, Larry -- I'm going to remember that one. I can't tell from the pix, but are you using WoodAnchor sliding nuts along with those clamp knobs to mount the fence to the aluminum angle? Be gentle with them if so -- the brass threaded inserts aren't designed to be pulled fro...

Re: Jigs and Fixtures
Wow Larry, you have so much stuff going on there that I'm still trying to sort it all out! I have no hands-on experience with a Mk V 500, which no doubt is a handicap. I think I've figured out what's going on with the long fence facings on the aux tables. By using the tops of them as runners for you...

Re: Adding indexer to Shorty for bowl inlay work
Sweet! I’d love to be a fly on the wall when your sister sees it!
The wood is sycamore?
I believe you said that you sand the inlaid stone flat/smooth. Any particular type of sandpaper? Sounds like a job for ceramic.

Re: Adding indexer to Shorty for bowl inlay work
Fantastic work, Mike! Mounting a dividing head on a Shopsmith is truly thinking outside of the box. And the bowl is absolutely stunning. What's the inlay material? My first guess was some sort of crushed stone cast in epoxy, but on second thought I doubt that you'd want to be machining stone. Whatev...
