What do these numbers represent in degrees? Can they be interpreted for mm sizing dimensions as well? Are these guides available for hardwoods as well as softwoods?

Thanks.

This piece of spruce has been resawn to make a double image. To do that requires an angled cut.
How do professionals or amateurs accurately achieve that with a bandsaw, tablesaw or with hand tools?...

How does this square with the availability of the expensive SJ-2000, 4000 grit stone, that is available for the T4?

Thanks for the kind offer. I will take you up on that in the shorter term.

Novice question. How is that so, with only the machine's included 1000 grit wheel?

I have just ordered the Tormey T4 Whetstone ‘original’ grinder that has a SP200 whetstone grinding wheel enabling its stone grader accessory to either leave the grit at 200 or be altered to 1000...

My table saw has a maximum cutting depth of 87mm.

I need to to be able to cut to a depth of 89mm, on edge, so I have experimented by setting my blade to 50% above the table top to try to minimize...

Is there any difference in a Whetstone for sharpening knives, or otherwise, for sharpening chisels, router plane blades & other hand tools?

Thanks all your contributions. They give me some useful options.

Another option I am looking into is Wetstone grinders, however, I haven't seen any information that indicates that they would be...

Hi,

Just purchased on ebay, came with 3 cutters. In very good condition for its age.

I noticed, though, that the leading edge of the blades are not straight laterally. They look like they may...

Ian,

Thanks.

Could you point me to an online instructable to make such a 'shooting board'

When I was talking of height I was referring to my hand mitre saw and the positioning of the piece, rather than than its thickness.399931
Can a compound drop saw achieve the same result ie., can the...

As a matter of interest what power equipment would a professional carpenter use to make a mitre in an 89mm tall work piece for a box setup?
From what I have seen a compound mitre saw would not...

Thanks Cal,

I might need to get back to you.

Hi guys-thanks for your contributions.

This is 9mm MDF I'm trying to cut straight. It's for a base to fit into rebates in the 4 sides of a stereo valve amplifier cabinet. It needs to be pretty...

I am trying to cut along a straight line with my jig saw which is equidistant at both end from a fence. I couldn't believe it when the blade drifted away from the line half way or so through the cut....

At 45 degrees I have to be cutting across the grain.

Hi,

I am not a professional or hobby carpenter but I have a need to make a one off cabinet with 45 degree mitre corners on the four sides for an amplifier project. The sides are pine - dimensions...

I supplied the video you requested.. Your comments?

ian,

What I had in mind for a clamping from 90 degrees to 45 degrees (see video above) was a bar clamp that had one pad on which the angle could be adjusted/changed (moving on an axle) &...

How much would it cost to make one pad free floating? Not much I would think & it would not detract from normal parallel clamping! And it beats having to make angled cauls.

Thanks guys for all...

To Seriph1,
Most of the video is in fast forward. I eventually was able to freeze it to see the name of thebar clamp used. It's an Irwin Quick Grip. I had a look at one in the hardware store and...

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get a clamp bar with one adjustable pad for angle clamping eg., 90 to 45 deg?

I have seen one used in a US based Utube video (unidentifiable brand) and have...
