Thanks woodman. I knew there had to be a way to make sure I got replacing the tape on my rail right. When I googled and saw you had a video up on it, I knew it would be just what I needed. As always, clear, concise, informative. Thanks for simplifying my shop life over the years!
It is one of those things that is not that complicated, but it is also not that obvious. And there is no going back once you start. Thanks Jeffrey. Allan
You Sir, have demonstrated (1) patience (2) planning (3) execution (4) reason and coolness in your replacing this rail tape and shown in approval by those prior comments to mine. Thanks for sharing. Scotty Allen
Thanks Scotty. I personally hate wasting time and money, and don't want anyone to have problems either. We really value our customer's patronage and want to provide every bit of information we can about the products we sell. Thanks for taking your time to send such a positive message. Keep in touch. Allan
It is a quality tape. The printed graduations are really precise. I really like the contrast between the blue guide rail and the white tape. It really makes that tape pop visually versus the white guide rails of my old Biesemeyer.
I was doing this for my own setup and thought other people would be interested too. The straight stick is just the ticket for a low tech alignment aid. Thanks again for your views and always constructive comments. Allan
We will definitely have the L to R SAE/Metric Starrett tapes 6'. It will probably have to wait till Monday for us to contact our rep about the R to L. But I am thinking it should not be a problem.
Yes good tip. This was brand new paint so I forgot to mention it. I also recommend thinner if someone is peeling up an old tape and there may be adhesive residue. Thanks for watching and taking your time to comment. Allan
Allan, thanks for all your videos! I really enjoy how thorough they are. Is there any chance you guys have pointers available for sale? I'm not real fond of the one on my saw. I could probably make one, but I really like the one you have on your t-square fence.
I would have done it without the straight edge and blown it, then kicked myself for a long time after. I do large picture frames that I lay double sided tape on for backing paper, and I think I could use this same technique to keep the tape straight. Thanks for the tip!
Shop jobs where it is pass/fail with not a lot of in between, really are one of "those" jobs. But for three weeks after my guide rails were done, to have to pull measurements with a tape measure was really irritating.
