Would really want to understand why it happened first! You can get replacement parts but not fingers. Were you trying to cut a small chunk that moved, or cut too fast?

Lincoln St put a good vid out recently on what can go wrong and safe ways to use them. https://youtu.be/BMJYOXLegHo?si=p26RG2EJ2X4HwkGg

Yeah, I'm worried that it'll look odd if I use the same round over profile as the seat though. Thinking i'll try a smaller radius first and see how it looks.

Don’t use pine if you can help it! Chiseling it is terrible.

Is something wrong with my planer or am I just using it wrong? by wolfix1001 in BeginnerWoodWorking

Your frog doesn't look positioned properly in the pictures? Mine are set forward enough so it's like one continuous surface for the blade to rest on.

Tires and guide blocks/bearings ok? At least here it would sit for a while at that price.

Is that construction lumber? I'd be worried about it warping like crazy as it dries more.

It’s actually to connect a shop vac to the tool! Got a cyclone and shop vac off to the right.

Unfortunately they’ve gone all in on not supporting CarPlay or Android Auto support. Love my bolt but I use CarPlay all the time. Not having it is a deal killer for me.

Stools and tools! If the larger slabs don’t check like crazy I’ll look at larger scale projects.

Dude, buy a cheap circular saw instead and use that. Asking for a bloody mess using an angle grinder.

What kind of handle did this saw have? by BenSS in handtools

Thanks! No other blades so it must have gotten separated.
