I get to go into work and check on test I'm running and then put in new bathrrom sinks
The really bad part is I have a guitar resdy for strings, well almost ready for strings. It needs the nut and saddle and such.

Todd - what blade are you using from Woodcraft? I was doing the same thing today, but was having trouble getting enough tension on the blade. I think the tensioning spring may be getting weak. I had the 3/8" Timberwolf blade on, and had it cranked up past the 1/2" mark on my Delta cast iron saw. I've never had to do that before. Brand new blade, too. |

Progress on the shop - the guitar wood moved from the spare bedroom back out to the shop today. Getting closer to the 'grand reopening'

[QUOTE=ToddStock] Jim: I think your instincts are right - the stock Delta spring is pretty fatigue-prone. I swap in a new Iturra (or Carter - same thing) - which is essentially a high grade valve spring - every 2-3 years. It helps. With a sharp blade, I usually just run the tension to the 3/8" spot (between 1/4 and 1/2) and call it done unless the blade starts slapping. [/QUOTE] Todd - Thanks for the pointers. I'm doing a big batch of Woodcraft bubinga (same as you I think?) I've never had to crank up the tension beyond the 3/8 mark before, so when the spring fails, it seems to fail fast. |
