Michael is a top guy when he took the business on everything got much better no more waiting months for orders. The hand tools are second to non and we can keep our powered tool going with his support.
I tried a checkering pattern once and had a spaghetti bowl of lines. You look like you are free handing this. I cannot wrap my head around this fast machine.
I have never checkered a stock before. I'm 50 years old, and cant say that I trust my eyes as much as I would have in my 20's. This video, however, is one of the neatest things I've ever seen. You honestly make it look like anyone could do it. Sorry, if I ask something that you answered, but how to you gauge the depth of your cutter? Is there some sort of "foot" or a guide that I'm not seeing?
How is he doing this so uniform, does it have a guide or something, or is that just from years of doing it? I seriously doubt I could make such a straight line with a rotary tool like that. How many years of practice does this take to learn?
purpose of the clear tube located under handpiece?,included as standard or optional?only one cutter disc makes all the complete diamond point?or are two cutters sandwiched between them?.
On the pneumatic system you can tap into the bleed off valve and route it up the handpiece to blow air over your work removing the saw dust. That is what the clear tube you see is. One cutter is all that is needed.
