    Speaking of SawStop

    after seeing Dr Bob's configuration (above) I now wish I had had the foresight to plan for more room to the left of the blade...that would be much more useful to me that 16"more way down at the other end.

    Speaking of SawStop

    I have the 52" because I have the room, but the extension only serves as a tabletop for a cabinet I built to go under it for storage of blades, jigs, miter gauges, etc. I have only used the extra length for cuts a handful of times....but since I got a track saw that is a thing of the past.

    Speaking of SawStop

    I've had the 3hp sawstop for about 10 years and really like it. Very well made, great fit and finish. It performs well even on 8/4 oak and hard maple, but I would rec. the 3 hp over the 1.75hp.

    A well-adjusted Planer is a beautiful thing...BUT

    Bob, I just checked that set screw...it was tight. I only found a screw on one side...I'm guessing that is to keep the pivot rod from sliding left and right? the other end of the pivot rod (without a set screw) was flush with the outside of the casting...I am guessing it is in the correct...

    A well-adjusted Planer is a beautiful thing...BUT

    So I have a Grizzly 1033x 20" planer that when it works, it works well. But after this last tune-up and adjustment of those adjustable parts it is back to making a worrisome noise. At the far end of the cut, just before the wood clears the cutting head I hear a bang/slap/knock....as if...
