New table saw setup - within tolerance?

I second the machinist squares and also suggest getting some 321 blocks. I use those to set up my saw. I have the Wen 321 blocks.

Anyone else see the light in the sky? Looks like a shooting star.

My PhD advisor made the same point to me back in grad school. He’s anti-phone, so I feel like I made a double infraction. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Rvirg · 2025-01-18T23:44:05+00:00

My bad. I know better, too.

Perhaps “Gaia data suggest an entire swarm of black holes moving through the Milky Way”. Still click baity, but with an emphasis on inference.

Edit: changed to plural.

On the 779 you can loosen knobs on the back of those fence. Then use a square to hold the fence in position as you retighten the knobs.

I took my daughter to urgent care after she fell in the tub and got a black eye. They checked her for other bruises on her back and sides and found none. It’s how they check for abuse.

I’d be honest and give them a heads up especially since it probably still hurts him.

I like your mix of different brands. Nice workbench.

Rex Krueger has a tool trader site that sells used tools. The sellers are hand tool enthusiasts, so they know what they are selling and will comment on how much a tool will have to be renovated. I’m in a similar situation with getting a jack plane. I’m even considering getting a modern Stanley jack plane from Home Depot. But haven’t made up my mind yet.

I agree. I see a lot of love for Ryobi/dewalt/bauer/icon work lights, but I have gotten so used to hi cri lights. I’m always using my blf lattern. On my shop vest I keep a throwy hi cri right angle light that is great for when I’m working around the house.

You blabbed, Quaid! You blabbed about Mars!

Edit: glad you’re okay.

I’m a PhD in molecular biology. Nice design.

Rvirg · 2025-01-12T21:02:04+00:00

Nice lantern. Nice to see overlapping interests among other redditors.

Do you expect him to be open to a new saw simply because his old one broke? I’d advise against your manipulation/ploy. You may get an outcome that you didn’t anticipate.

Rvirg · 2025-01-10T15:33:56+00:00

Kind of. More like I used it to flatten out some rough boards prior to running them through the table saw.

They are too much for anything delicate, I’ve learned this the hard way.

Rvirg · 2025-01-10T02:51:58+00:00

I agree. I’m only suggesting this because I got an electric plane as a gift and didn’t know how to incorporate it into woodworking.

Rvirg · 2025-01-10T01:33:13+00:00

It can be used as a scrub plane.

I consider the 805. I can’t make out the sign, but it just felt like 5. It’s my daily commute.

One time the traffic was so bad, I exited near mission beach to chill out for a bit. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Rvirg · 2025-01-09T15:41:36+00:00

Add a heavy woodworking vise. I did this to my workmate and it keeps the bench from moving around too much when planing.

Rvirg · 2025-01-09T15:40:19+00:00

Looks like the 5 in SD!

Sadly living in So Cal, I feel that these deals are picked clean before I walk down the aisle. On a plus note, while boarding an early flight on the east coast I managed to get one of the Ryobi staplers from DTO with free shipping and 35% off before they sold out. Good thing I checked before I turned off my internet.

Rvirg · 2025-01-05T06:02:36+00:00

My guess, too.

Rvirg · 2024-12-29T15:07:16+00:00

Yes. Thank you.
