Your problem with the bolts connecting saw to base was because you did not follow instructions. It tells you to leave bolts loose in the stand until after the four bolts are in.
You buy festoool and whine about getting nickel and dimed by sawstop! When I put my saw together I left the stand bolts a little loose and went together perfectly. I didn’t call sawstop and be a chad about something so insignificant! Dude you are the whiniest person I’ve ever heard.
I do colored epoxy inlays frequently. often with multiple colors. One of the things I have learned is that if you seal the pockets with a white pigmented wood sealer. This gives a much more accurate color (similar to the color in the mixing cup). Without the white background, the poured epoxy reflects the color of the wood behind it. This process also prevents color bleed of the epoxy into the grain of the wood.
The 1:1 ratio is by volume not by weight. The two parts have different densities which means a pound of each will not have the same volume. Be careful when you measure quantities by weight.
Nope. It's supposed to be that way. The pulleys don't have teeth like a timing belt would. Prolly swapped roller gears or lack of bushing on the Shelix shaft.
@@ClimbHi1950 I just got a DW735 and installed the Byrd Shelix. When removing the chain, I pulled it and the sprockets off as a group ... kept all 3 pieces together (never removed the chain off the sprockets). THEN I set it aside with the screws sitting in the sprockets in their original orientation just so I'd know how they're supposed to be reinstalled. I did ALMOST forget transferring that spacer-washer behind the large belt pulley.
Man, I didn't realize that the nickel and diming was so obnoxiously expensive! This is the same saw a\I'm looking at with all the same extras, and that's fkn expensive. Gonna have to fabricate some stuff!
There is something wrong with the pricing. It's not acceptable. The technology cost pennies to produce. Modern circuit boards are not expensive, and there are no rare metals or hard to produce parts on a Saw Stop saw. The fact that they are almost 3 times more expensive than a comparable saw without the $20 worth of electronics, is unacceptable. The worst part is that the patent laws prevent any other company from creating their own version of blade stop technology. Bosch perfected a gas cartridge system that snapped the blade down quickly, and due to Saw Stop's lawyers (presumably) Bosch had to stop building their technology. In what world is it ok to prevent other companies from creating their own life saving technology? Stopping a blade is not some small thing, it's a matter of life or death. And no patent should be capable of blocking safety features on any piece of equipment, under any circumstances. This is a case where the government needs to do their job, and they need to actually set an expiration date for the Saw Stop patents due to National Interest. The government has apparently taken away at least 5,000 patents from their respective owners when the patent deals with something that has profound implications for day to day life, so there is already a well established precedent. But in this case, they need to make the patents open source, and prevent any company from holding a monopoly over "machinery safety features." This is a case where there is actually a good reason for the government to take the patent away, because Saw Stop is actively preventing other companies from offering an affordable product. Saw Stop saws are not affordable for the general public. Table saws are the single most dangerous piece of equipment ever created by man, and it it should be legal mandate that all new table saws must include some form of an electronic "flesh sensing technology." If someone wants a saw without the technology, they can flip a switch and shut it off. But it should be legally required to be included on all new table saws. Saw Stop is going about this the wrong way, and unfortunately karma is going to get them in the end. Karma is a real thing, we've seen it with GM and Chrysler, and many other companies. Viciously attacking other competitors who make a similar but sufficiently different technology that helps prevent injuries (Bosch) is not good business, it's just malicious. Allowing all the companies to have their own version of the technology would drastically reduce the cost, without putting anyone out of business.
Very nice job. Here a question that I haven't found an answer to. Could you have applied a stain to the box after you sanded the Epoxy flat and then apply a finish. I am making a Maple Table that I want a Black Epoxy Compass Rose ,CNC into, but I want the surrounding wood stained to match the interior of a RV Van. What do you think?
You could, but I think a stain would change the appearance of the epoxy even so lightly unless you wipe the stain off that portion. That was my concern on the recent boat table I built. See video on my channel.
Thanks for the initial review and follow up! I recently ordered one of these saws and it’s good to know it has performed well for you. Too bad you got some off the negative comments that you did but I guess it goes with the territory. Personally I think some things are better left unsaid. What I picked up on you in your first video was that you are a person that is very attentive to detail. I imagine that’s a quality that shines through on your projects. I appreciate the heads-up on hole alignment with the stand. I’ll keep any eye out for it when I assemble my saw. Happy woodworking to you!
I have has the Origin for almost 2 years ago and I am very pleased. I have a small business, I design and build custome furniture. The Origin works great for me. But the Glowforge and the like interest me for smaller projects. I want to scale down. Do or can you substitute solid wood for parts like the lamp panels? Do you clean the edges, do they burn with the glowforge? Thank you.
common sense would tell you that taking yourself out of the equation almost entirely would shoot the shit out of the gratification of the task. how many kids in a Chinese sweatshop did it take to make either one of those contraptions happen? learn to carve. you'll sleep better at night.
I would buy a Shark or a Stepcraft and buy the laser add on until you can afford both. I have a Mira 7 but buying an origin for large pieces. I will be adding a Stepcraft for 3D cutting later.
In the 2000’s my best friends shared a place in Argyle House off Huron Bvld near the crazy looking McNamara Alumni Center. Best memories of going to Burger King a block away and hanging out. They did not wash dishes. Their kitchen was not usable.
I had the same problem. I missed the washer off of the Dewalt shaft. Lost two belts and cracked two pulleys. Pulley was definitely free to move on theshaft without the 1/8" +/- thick spacer washer. Education is not often not free.
“Things are changing, just like everything in life... and woodworking is being effected by that.” Yeah, no kidding. Your all becoming machinists and technicians. If operating a CNC is woodworking, then anyone who can download a file and press play is a master craftsman. I’ll stick to hand carving.
Nah. Still have to properly mill lumber before CNC, understand grain direction, understand property joinery and the engineering of it all. CNC is far from an easy button. Just opens more creative possibilities
@@ZachAshcraft that’s true! You need to prepare the material and install the appropriate cutter head. It is, in fact, literally harder than pressing a button. My point is that you are a machine operator and not a woodworker when press play, sit back, and watch to make sure nothing goes wrong. You are not making the cuts. You don’t even need to decide what cuts to make and in what order; the software handles that for you.
@@AftonWoodworks I see what you’re getting at. It would be nice to cut out perfect circles of any diameter with nothing but tape and the Shaper Origen, but for now at least, it’s still cheaper just to make a jig for my router. Anyway, I don’t think it’s brainless. Of course it takes plenty of brain power to design something for a CNC. I just think it’s the muscle memory and motor skills that make a good craftsman. I guess that’s what you’re getting at with it being an “in between”, because it’s still hand operated.
Tools that can produce similar end products for sure, but the GF is definitely better for those detailed panels. Where the SO shines is in larger applications. I just cut 256, 20mm dog holes (96mm OC), on a 4’x8’ sheet of MDF. I used a 1/4” shank, 1/2” diameter double flute bit in “Helix” mode and I was able to cut all 256 holes accurately in a couple hours. This is very difficult to do using a drill and a PARF system - definitely not doable in 2 hours. Anyway, I like your video. Keep up the good work sir.
I’m new to your channel and just bought a Shaper Origin. I really appreciate you sharing your experiences and in this clip I really appreciate you sharing of yourself. Thank you for sharing! I especially like the setups where the camera’s on a tripod and you’re just talking through things. It’s like being in a friend’s shop. Sending you appreciation and support from Texas!
Every woodworker has a different situation we’re they may have to readjust there work station ..building equipment is part of our dna.. so if ur a qualified woodworker then don’t complain about engineering ur work space
