Good info Sam, I wasn't aware that they made one for it.
How much? I guess that it would be fine for widest setting but maybe not so good with large gaps when used with narrower dado.

I have the same saw & wonder about whether or not it will work if I make insert for CMT dado set? Can you see any problems with this?
Regards Sandman.

The finish is Rustins Danish oil (4 coats).
The local guy who cut the fallen old tree up says he thinks it's Ironwood, however, I had some Ironwood & it looked NOTHING like that!
Casuarina/ River...

Who can tell me please what timber this is? Clues: It grows around the NW Vic & I think it is an Acacia. VERY hard & BRITTLE but has a magnificent finish with Danish Oil.

Hi Waldo.
No I don't use a MAC and never have. But find Nortons to be fine on my system.

The Bandsaw!

Made your circle jig today & it's a bloody ripper!!
Cuts circles absolutely spot on.
Last time I made a circle so perfectly rounded was on lathe!
Many thanks for your post, it was perfect timing....

Correct! You simply unscrew 30mm arbor & screw in the 5/8" arbor.
Problem is with 30mm arbor being too short for Dado.
The 5/8" is plenty long enough though.
I purchased the CMT dado set but,...

Good diagrams help too mate!
Best method of accuracy I've come across for the job at hand.
Good Point.
Kind regards Sandman.

Also check out oil made up in Byron Bay. I use it on Huon as it does not "yellow" the timber.
It's Organiol- Hard burnishing oil.
Gives a great finish & nice aroma.
Regards Sandman. :D
