Did you continue to use the Jet jig?

Thanks, I will get the tormek jig before continuing further. I don't think returning it is really an option as I've had the thing for a couple of years and am only really trying to get it up an...

After a couple more hours of working on it hasn't really improved.
To the naked eye it looks a little better but when I put up against square - this is the result.....

I followed your advice Router - it appears to be a better result.
Se attached picture - not sure if having a look at the back of the chisel it will get better if I keep going.

After a years break - due to moving etc I have just returned to using my 310HH its awesome.
The switch over is simple and quick.
One of he best purchases I've made.

Note that in the 310HH the read out is...

I remember checking this out and going through the calibration from the wood whisperer, the only issues I had was getting the fence square but I solved that without much fuss.

Hi, as noted elsewhere in the forum I had problems with the fence. In the end I needed to undo the bolts retaining the arms and move them slightly forward and then all was right.

My switch burnt...

Cool I will check it out.
Given that you said it had phosphuric acid in it. I just tried a 50/50 combo of vinegar and water and it did a pretty good job.
I used my mouse with a nylon scourer on it....

hey MR Bush!

Is this the stuff that turns the rust black prior to painting?
Or is something else?

Other than the staining do you think the CLR will cause any more dramas?

thanks stuart I will give that a go.

Post the CLR bungle I've hit it a couple of times with INOX and the green nylon scrubber, in fact I've got a couple of colours of nylon scrubbers that attach directly to the mouse. This has made some...

The machine has a helical head. So I'm not sure this applies?
