Not sure what you're meaning but suspect its the rail the fence slides along to limit the width of your cut.
That's at 90° to blade
parallel to blade there's a slot to take the mitre gauge.

Anthony I was naming a specific species that if you ask a quality miller here would know just what your dilemma is.
To say "Tasmanin oak" lumps in a whole range of eucalyptus timbers to the...

This, IMO is superb timber for fine furniture work.
Eucalyptus delegatensis, commonly known as alpine ash, gum-topped stringybark, white-top and in Victoria as woollybutt,

Is that available to...

Impressive indeed.
Curious what data you used to create your terrain?

Contours would be traceable I imagine but then to make a surface realistic there'd be a blend, grading, between each...

As Bushmiller said there's printed arrows and like others they wear off.
I know I've run mine wrong way at odd times with used belts :C

Only way I've known then is to compare splicing on new and...

I get mine made by Pferd.
They make to order but in this case yours is probably a standard size.
Excellent, fast service.
Minimum of 10 belts I think.
And price is excellent.

Belts are made...

Can't really comment on shrinkage of that timber but its more a concern as to the shrinkage in width
A 6" board could end up 5½" wide which would be more concern than a slight reduction in...

Very nicely executed, and beautiful grain.
I like your pull. Interesting method.

They seem to have scaled back quite drastically
They sent me their catalogue.
Impressive document.

Last century I bought some brass cabinet hardware from Beardmores in UK.
They still exist but not sure what they offer now.
It was first class reproductions and I was very happy.

Delegatensis. Brings back memories
Now that's series timber.
I used to make dining tables from solid 6" x 2" boards.
Sourced it from Launceston sawmiller.
He knew what I was after. ...

I've used it and the blue tape. Latter good brand, not El cheapo.
I'd recommend and yes press down well.
Tearings not a real issue, more an inconvenience.
That said I did find the blue tape...

Not the best of photos. Taken on phone with too many reflections.
I should've dusted first! :roll:
It doesn't have felt or leather etc.
The teak has shrunk somewhat over the 70 to 80 odd years. ...

Can't help on your dilemma but interesting project.

Dad had it made in Singapore from Teak.
Typically carved with Chinese carving.

Have you considered tanalised pine, hardwood sleepers?
I gather from photo the land slopes in the direction of the concrete block wall.
That wouldn't be holding up much dirt. So not load bearing ...

I've been talking to an English bloke there on and off recently. Couple weeks ago last conversation.

I've decided to give it a crack.

It might be too powerful and just clean the bin out.

Thanks for input
I've used this for mulch for years and hadn't seen it compact.
But I'd mainly have buzzer/thickneser shavings (not helical).
Oh and plenty of bark from the gum trees.

Hadn't...

I'd just wheel outside and add to the mulched native garden.
I appreciate the dilemma if no such option.
One of the things that attracted me to the idea was it's portability.
I'd been mulling...

Old saying "Praise where praise is due"
I have a perfectly good wheelie bin minus the lid.
Thought it'd make a perfect receptacle for wood shavings.
Searched here for wheelie bin and voila

Agree all round
My French machine has identical looking blades
20 x 2.5mm
Couldn't get 2.5 replacement, thankfully 3mm fits with no side effects

:D
Well that wasn't intended :U
But how sarcastically true :U:U
Stiff as in virtually unmovable

Truly amazing.
Very nicely executed.
Fascinating work.
Thanks for sharing

I'm aware the best option isn't a mitre saw but she has intentions on other uses also.
I've made decent frames on my radial arm but she's not akin to working wood, and I...

My daughter asked about a powered mitre saw to help her make frames for her paintings, and using smallish mouldings. Largest I've seen her use would be 30mm wide.
She doesn't want a guillotine. Has...

As burraboy said but if you want to add a bit of design, use 3mm (or other size) bronze welding rod.
It's soft enough to peen over.
Don't leave too much protrusion but don't cut to short.

It's a "numbered drill size"
Drill SizesDrill ~ Inch ~ mm

Is there any chance the belt touches the bottom of the V on the pulley?

Edit. Just reread what you're doing.
I can't see a difference there as both flutes are hitting the timber at same time, assuming they're accurately ground
Instinctively I think I'd still do what...

Certainly looks like craftsmanship woodworking
Some big timber pieces by the looks.

The photos portray a scene from a trophy hunters showcase

Have you considered composite decking? Fusion wood, other names.
