Thread: Saw question
Post: RE: Saw question
| Thin kerf blades will deflect much more when dull. Pretty critical to keep them sharp. Too fast of a feed rate can add to the problem, but it doesn't sound like that is what is off here. I quit using ... |

Thread: How to turn this
Post: RE: How to turn this
| Well, I can't see the whole picture, but it looks like it may be the top of a hollow form. If the piece has 4 of the light half loops in it, then it was cut from a rectangular blank, where you cut off... |

Thread: CBN Wheel and HSS
Post: RE: CBN Wheel and HSS
| Any 'hardened' steel is fine to grind on your CBN wheels. So, bench chisels, axe heads, and shovel blades are good. Cold rolled steel like lawn mower blades is not good, and can load the wheel up. Sam... |

Thread: safety shield earned it's keep today
Post: RE: safety shield earned it's keep today
| Knot head..... I like that. Glad you were not hurt. From experience, I seldom turn any utility piece that has a knot in it. It is always a weak point. If I do leave it in, I make sure it is tight, eit... |
