Didn't bother to swap the 24T ripping blade, so the surface is a bit rough. The block wasn't flattened on top and bottom, either. I used an over-arm pin jig, clamped to the saw fence, to hold the block centered where I wanted it. Slow process, but it works. I think that came out pretty well. I'm still impressed and intimidated: I'm imagining that you raised the table saw a bit at a time and rotated the blank over the saw blade. Did you manipulate the block with a tool? Is the jig very secure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the jig very secure? You are correct, milling away small amounts at a time. More like a machinist would do with steel. Here are some more 'finished' pics: Bowl, with tools and jig. Proof my wife liked it enough to keep. And now for a bit of poly. The scariest part is the initial rounding of the square block, also none on the TS. The overarm jig works, but a sled would be safer. Since the cuts must travel past mid-way on the saw blade, kickback is possible. Milling the shape from that point on was simple, but slow. I rounded the outside first, spinning the blank, open side up, with various presentations against the straight or tilted blade to get a shape I liked. Then, centering the blank over the arbor, I slowly elevated the blade while spinning the blank. After a shallow cut this way, I advanced the piece into the blade, still spinning, to form a wider indent for the bottom. Finally, I flipped it over, re-marked center on the bottom, and used the same process to hollow the bowl. To get more depth on this small diameter bowl, I put a 7.25" blade on the saw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say, I’m more impressed with this than had you turned a bowl into a block of wood Pretty cool! Oh hell, I spoke before seeing the finished product. Now that IS cool! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, the only 'shop time' I got was when I went into my basement to get my portable radio - so I could play halloween music while giving candy out to all the little monsters.

I'm sure you went thru all the usual stuff to try to correct the problem, is it possible the teeth on the blade aren't set right as in misaligned thats causing the drift or the wheels are not parallel to each other. does it cut with other blades ok?

I was too tired and frustrated to deal with it last night. Last night i should have listened to the wisdom once said "Don't do woodworking when your tired and frustrated" I did some reading today and there was a common consensus that the RK blade wanders a lot when it doesn't have a lot of tension. So i turned up the tension on my saw adjusted the guides. I also noticed the tracking was a bit forward on the wheels and corrected that. I also really should take the blade off and clean it but ran a test cut and it looks better. Left is last night right is today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Sawdust Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 I've pretty much followed the Laguna manual for blade setup on my 1412 and it's been reliable no matter what blade I've put in. Your second cut is lovely though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jonathan McCully Posted November 2, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Stained my kids playset. Finishing is my least favorite part of woodworking and thus, I had been putting this off for quite a few months (and it was crazy hot in Texas). Bought my Earlexx HVLP primarily with this in mind, but now have a nice sprayer for future projects. Glad to have this done so I can get back into the shop this weekend. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Put some finish on some Russian Olive. It's nothing like regular olive but quite nice to work with hand tools. I'll do a showcase of the project when i'm done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
