tim0625 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I can't say I've ever put a blade in upside down or backwards, but I did witness my ex-BIL put a wobble dado in a radial arm saw backwards, then proceed to tell me what a great carpenter he was, I just smiled at all the smoke and ruined oak plywood. wobble dado and radial arm saw in the same sentence...I'm standing back ready to call 911 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Don't let Tom get you down, Brendan...he built his Roubo upside-down and backwards...he hasn't noticed yet. Haven't done the backwards blade yet, but I did put my arbor washer on the wrong way once with a dado stack. That doesn't work either. The backwards bandsaw blade I don't really get...at least not cutting with it...because like Trip said, either you're not setting your guides or you're completely brain-dead.

tim0625 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 ==>Don't forget the band saw blade too. Done that Done that... Got as far as adjusting the upper guide... Oh nooooo.....my guides were adjusted, saw on, and me wondering why it wouldn't cut....then chuckle chuckle..."idiot" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodbutcher74 Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I haven't set the blades in backwards but, I have had the shims slip down into the threads on the arbor and thought I had it snugged down good. Everything was OK until I shut the saw off. Free wheeling blades and chippers spinning. I didn't know whether to shoot or go blind. Chunks of carbide flying all over the place.I have mag sims and new dado set now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
