    • @brycecomerwoodworks
      @brycecomerwoodworks 9 днів тому

      Hi Dave, I wish i could say i bought it at Home hardware or somewhere like that, but unfortunately not. The one i was using in the video is a Stanley i think. It's a beauty little tape i bought last time i was in Australia. I also have a metric Fatmax i bought many years ago in Australia, but don't use it so much in the shop, as i find a 5m (16') a better size. I have lots of tape measures around the shop, many of which are metric/imperial. What i've never really understood about all those tapes though, is how the markings on the other side of the tape are the same as the top side. It would make more sense to me to have all the metric markings on one edge, and all the imperial markings on the other, that way you could simply turn the tape over to measure on the opposite edge of the tape. Thanks for watching!

    • @DaveHealey
      @DaveHealey 8 днів тому

      @ Roger - thanks! I have a number of tapes as well, I work in residential construction. Currently working through the apprenticeship program where we do most projects in metric, which I prefer for the joinery/finish work. I have a couple of metric/imperial tapes, but use my folding rule more (same marks on both edges), and a NZ Good Rule - similar to what you have. I did find a Tajima metric only tape at Atlas, which I probably will get a couple of copies of. I do like my Stabila tape, of which they do make a metric only version for Europe. Ironically, I have found online stores in Australia (!) selling it, but it will be a bundle to ship them here. Asking a major local reseller of Stabila for the metric version just got me crickets…

    Good morning 🌅, Bryce, great idea, for the family shoe 👞 storage , I have made wardrobes cupboards, et cetera, where I have put a series of rails in the bottom and sometimes in a stack system on the right or left-hand side where you could lay your shoes 🥿 boots 🥾 so they’re sitting on rails not on a flat surface, so they can get air circulation around them , the front rail goes under the heels 👠 of the shoe or boot 👢 The back rail is slightly lower than the front so the shoes/boots are sitting at the angle , I even made a shoe stand display unit, for a famous shoe company in Leicester back in the 90s, I believe the company you’ve been going since the 16 1700s, the display unit went to a massive show from what I can gather, by the time I’d finished it even got lights all inside it then had to be very carefully dismantled, some of the shelving had glass plates so you can see under the shoe/boots, Look forward to seeing your next project , I wish I was back at work. I’m now retired pottering around in my workshop trying to sort out tools and chisels that are being in storage for a few years., not good rust on quite a few of my tools, stay safe keep up the great work, kind regards from me to you from France where I’m now living retired,

    I'm curious, I have a k700s and when ripping I often feel that the blade wants to lift my workpiece...I never had this issue on cabinet saws... I'm using a silent power universal blade... any thoughts? Thanks.

    • @brycecomerwoodworks
      @brycecomerwoodworks 15 днів тому

      Hi @KWCabs, Thanks for watching. It could be a few things. First of all, check your riving knife. It should be about half a millimeter thicker than the blade plate itself. (Not the kerf) If it's much thinner, and the material being cut starts to bind, it won't stop the material binding and wanting to lift, or even worse, be thrown back. If the material being ripped has stresses within the board it may want to bind on the back of the blade, if that were the case, it may want to lift. Unless i'm just ripping a small amount off the edge of a board, i will always use the short rip fence (on the K700 you would simply pull the fence back to half way along the blade). This will minimize the chance of the board being forced over into the blade (pushing the riving knife out of the way in the process) and causing the board to want to lift, and/or be forced back toward the user. Check too the position of the fence in relation to the blade. I actually have mine set virtually parallel with the blade, just a little bit open. Make sure though that it's not too much. It should be so little, that you will hear the teeth rub on the board as it goes past the teeth on the back of the blade. A universal blade is great for a few cuts ripping, a few cuts crosscutting, basically it's a do it all blade, but if you're needing to rip a bunch of material, pop a dedicated rip blade on. If i'm doing a bunch of ripping, i will use a 28T 315mm blade, but if the material being ripped is hard and/or thick, i will go for a 14T 315mm blade. Keep in mind that i typically rip all my material before processing it further. I hope this helps, but please let me know if anything i have suggested doesn't solve your problem, and i will have another try. :)

    • @KWCabs
      @KWCabs 15 днів тому

      @brycecomerwoodworks thanks...I don't think it has to do with the splitter as it seems to want to lift before it reaches it...I have the rip fence set parallel or possibly toe out a thou or 2. I'm starting to wonder if the dust extraction could possibly doing it sucking the board up the tiniest bit, but to be honest I just feel like it might be the geometry of the blade for some reason... but I'm at a bit of a loss... never really had this issue before.

    • @brycecomerwoodworks
      @brycecomerwoodworks 15 днів тому

      @@KWCabs Very interesting! Blade geometry may well be what is making the difference. Try playing around with the height of the blade for your rip cuts and see what that does. I recently did a little video on the blades i use and made various different cuts with the blade set low to the material, and as high as the blade would go and was really surprised at some of the results. In some cases the cut was cleaner with the blade up rather than just above the top of the material. I can only imagine that has to do with blade geometry so you may be onto something thinking that way.

    Two suggestions: When using the rip fence, pull back the fence blade so the rips drop free- no need for a push stick or getting your hand near the blade. Look into getting a Crazy Horse dolly, it will save your back when lifting and moving panels, including heavy doors.

    • @brycecomerwoodworks
      @brycecomerwoodworks 18 днів тому

      Hi kevin, thanks for watching. Those are great suggestions, especially the crazy dolly. I did have one that i used a lot with my old machine, especially in my old workshop. It was getting in my way in this shop and i started not using it but you can still see it in the video. Since this video i have refined how i load the sheetgoods onto the slider, and its really easy now to carefully lean them onto the slider straight out of the rack. The sheets i was cutting up were plywood, so pretty light compared to particle board or mdf! :) As for your suggestion of pulling the fence back, it can be done on this fence to a point, but the way the fence is designed to be taken off and used on the jointer, it doesn't pull as far back as a the fence on a dedicated saw, at least not without taking the little wheel off that helps it slide across the table. I could use the short rip fence, (which i do whenever i'm ripping solid wood) but have no issues ripping as i do in the video, Maybe that's a result of working on different types of saws over the last 40 years! :)

    Good morning 🌅, Bryce , that ladder 🪜 looks really good, I few months ago I put a ladder on my floor in my lounge which goes up into my attic , I have problems with my roof and I hadn’t noticed that rain had come through the floor and was on the floor in the lounge, and where I put the base of my ladder, it was in some water, I got to the top of the ladder went to step onto the floor in the attic and the ladder slipped away, I ended up on the floor in the water, luckily I managed to grab the floor and some timber work that’s on the left-hand side to break my fall a bit, I just, I do know somebody that was back in the UK quite a few years ago, he was measuring up on a large property for windows, where the base of his ladder was sitting on cobbled pavement, I believe there was somebody at the base of the ladder holding it, but sadly this was not enough, and the ladder slipped away and the guy fell to the floor, from quite a height, people do not realise how unstable and ladder can become without stabilisers on it, I’ve even made up a wooden construction before now to support the ladder whilst I am working on it, or obviously the best thing is is to get a proper platform or scaffolding, Great review on safety aspects in workshop , especially when working by yourself, good luck for the future, from me in France,

    The way the fence is designed, there’s no need for the pin to register in a hole at the 0-degree position; the travel of the fence is limited by the locking nut against which the sliding T-nut butts. When the T-nut butts against the locking nut, all you have to do is tighten the clamp and cinch down the hold-down bolt.

    Hi Bryce, many thanks for the video. Very helpful and informative. I have an old (2003) Felder CF731 that bought and restored a couple of years ago. I have a good selection of blues but I need to buy a rip blade. My machine doesn’t have a scoring blade and Felder doesn’t sell the upgrade anymore so I’m a little restricted cutting sheet goods. I like your blade storage drawers and will copy that as soon as I get a little time. Thanks

    • @brycecomerwoodworks
      @brycecomerwoodworks 29 днів тому

      Hi @BarrieStott, That's a bummer the retrofit scoring unit is no longer available. I actully just looked it up and it looks like the only scoring unit available is for 2007 machines and newer. :( I made up a couple of zero clearance table inserts with reasonable results. Perhaps a HiATB blade for your sheetgoods in combination with a zero clearance insert may be the ticket? I would probably use the ones i made more often, but i find it a drag to be constantly changing them out whenever i need to make a bevel cut. If i get time, i would like to make a couple more with very strong rare earth magnets so there is no need for screws when changing them out. As far as the blade drawers go, they are fantastic and well worth making. The fact that they keep the blades safe from banging into other blades etc. and well organized when they are stored is only half of why i like them so much. The fact that i take both the drawer with the blade i want to put on the saw, and the drawer for the blade i'm changing out, to the saw, means i have a nice surface to put the blades on in the process, ensuring i don't damage the blades or the table surface. Thanks for watching!

    • @BarrieStott
      @BarrieStott 28 днів тому

      I was pretty unhappy about the lack of scoring when I collected the machine. I had committed myself to buying the machine but the seller hadn’t been totally honest with me. The machine cost just £2,500 and I spent another £600 on the refurb. I’ve got a lot of machine and my wife wouldn’t have been happy had I spent more. The machine is great and works well for me. Yes, I do need to try zero clearance. Thanks again

    The other possibility is that the flip stop isn’t resting directly on the sliding table. It’s possible that some wood chip or saw dust has been trapped underneath, which will not allow the stop to seat perfectly. Barring that, it is possible for the adjustment screw, against which the flip stop registers, to vibrate loose; I had that problem for the first year or two. But, over time, fine dust and corrosion did the trick; they locked it in place. It’s now been over twenty years, and I haven’t needed to make any adjustment since. Also, I see why removing the fence can be a pain; you’re doing it wrong. Just unscrew both hold downs-don’t remove the clamp from the sliding table. Once you get used to it, it takes only a couple of seconds to reposition the hold down bolts in place.

    • @brycecomerwoodworks
      @brycecomerwoodworks 29 днів тому

      Thanks for watching and for the feedback. I haven't ever had an issue with the adjustment screw loosening off myself. Maybe i'm just heavy handed when tightening things up? 😆 I like your idea of leaving the clamp part on, i will have to try it when i'm at work! Thanks for the tip!!!

  • @bethoughtprovoking
    @bethoughtprovoking 29 днів тому

    Both mass and cutting angle are important for a clean, tear-free cut. But even more instrumental are the scoring cutters that come with insert tooling. On a groove cutter, for instance, you typically have four scoring cutters (two above the cutter lips, and two below) that produce a flawless groove, even in the most difficult woods that have interlocking grain.

    • @brycecomerwoodworks
      @brycecomerwoodworks 29 днів тому

    Another informative video, thanks! One question I have that you didn't address: what do you see as the pros/cons of thin kerf blades? It seems like thin kerf has become a more frequently available option in 10"+ blades for table saws in recent years. Cutting out less wood with a then kerf seems appealing, but I've never been clear on what you might be losing with them. Higher risk of internal stress pinching a thin kerf closed? Less blade mass to soak up the heat? Maybe higher run out?

    • @brycecomerwoodworks
      @brycecomerwoodworks 29 днів тому

      Thank you for watching! I use a thin kerf blade on my 12" mitre saw and have used them on my 10" job site table saw. There are probably only 2 real downsides to them that i can think of right now. Blade deflection is the main one, as they definitely flex more than a thicker blade. The other one is the carbide teeth are so small they don't hold up to as much abuse and will chip and even break off more easily. (Just my experience, but others may have different experience with that) Back to deflection; that's where a good quality saw blade comes in. Apart from a lesser quality of carbide (and much less of it) on the cheaper blades, the plate is often not as good on a cheap blades. Whether that's due to them not being hardened to save money, or not being hardened as well i couldn't say, but i think those are just a couple of reasons why there's a big difference in price between blades.

    Thanks for the videos Brice Have you tried the poly crystalline diamond blades or yet? I picked up the Felder one and it works well for me. Not sure how it would do in a high volume environment but where there is a good variety of cuts that need to be done throughout the day I find I can leave it on and it does really well

    • @brycecomerwoodworks
      @brycecomerwoodworks 29 днів тому

      Hi David, thanks for watching. I haven't yet tried that blade, but it does sound like a great blade for a lot of things. I was seriously considering one for a while but ended up passing after i heard something that made me think it wouldn't work for my use case. I don't remember what that was though now. I might have to look into it again to make sure it wasn't just the cost! 😉

    • @Davidcarroll38
      @Davidcarroll38 29 днів тому

      @ yeah the cost is quite high for a blade and I don’t have it long enough to vouch for its longevity but over a year so far on my k740s and the only other blade I use is a 400mm ripping blade when breaking out 2 inch hardwoods etc, but it’s definitely a good finish in all manmade boards with a good clean top cut and better than average quality bottom cut , so if both sides of a piece are seen I’d still use the scoring blade. Perfect top and bottom cuts in solid wood and smooth surface. Look after yourself and see you in the next one!

    Good morning 🌅, Bryce , Happy New Year, very nice machine, great territorial, many years ago I started off with a startrite K260, then a German machine schelling , it too had a sliding table that you could lift on and off, but it was seriously heavy, but was an excellent piece of kit, this was only a saw and spinner motor combination, I had a separate planer thickness, Cassidy, not sure if I spelt that right, then in early 2000s I purchased a Felder K7 series, spindle saw table, which I had upgraded with larger motors, but I then went to separate for my joiner and planner side, SCN , CLASSIC E , I’m originally from the UK. I now live in France., in a reduced area space as a workshop, but I still have most on my machinery, a very tight space, I wish you all success for the future, and a prosperous New Year, regards from France.

      I don’t think you should be getting a spring joint, or, at least, it shouldn’t be of noticeable consequence. I have the Dual 51, but I’ve come to realize that all Felder machines can be tuned to perfection. That said, when I joint large slabs, say for dining tables, I hardly ever have trouble getting an invisible glue line.
