Did you go the right direction for blade spin? Edit: if you did any sort of length, odds are you did.

Picked up a really big oilstone in a handmade case at an antique store for $really too much money, it's got a big dip in the middle from the previous owner just sharpening knives on it. Anyone wanna sell me on the best/preferred method of flattening an arkensas stone when you need to take like an 1/8" or more off the top? The worst of the dip is along this corner:   I figure I probably will leave that corner somewhat rounded off, I might just flip it but the other side also has a dip in the middle so either way I need to lap it quite a lot. The inlay on this old case is the main reason I grabbed it (sorry for the lovely pic)  I also got this interesting old spokeshave

Plate glass or equivalent with glued on medium to medium/coarse grit sandpaper, run the stone back and forth with even pressure and check frequently for chunks of abrasive or stone coming off and gouging deep

If you can hand sharpen without jigs, that stone e: Depends a bit on if it's an even hollow along the width.

Coarse diamond plate will definitely do it, sandpaper on glass probably will but I’m not sure about the relative hardness of oilstones vs. aluminum oxide or silicon carbide. Definitely worth trying if you don’t have a diamond plate though.

I only have a fine diamond plate and it's also too small. I use sandpaper on a 12" square stone tile for a lot of my hand plane lapping work so I'll give that a try, I wasn't sure if it'd work on the stone or if the stone'd be too hard. I assume water as lube, but this is an oilstone, so maybe oil instead?His Divine Shadow posted:If you can hand sharpen without jigs, that stone Not an even hollow. I think the previous owner sharpened by dragging knives across one edge, wearing down that edge and making a deep hollow in the middle that doesn't go all the way across. The opposite side is not as bad and I may just try and get that side flat.

Well that's certainly better than the way i thought it was put together, but that's still a tremendous amount of material put together with basically zero consideration for racking force, p sure your trophy is still safe

I assume water as lube, but this is an oilstone, so maybe oil instead? If it's a natural mined whetstone, it's a form of quartz crystal with a mohs hardness around 7 and Aluminum oxide in sandpaper has a hardness of 9 so it should work. If it's a synthetic so called "carborundum" stone, that's silicon carbide with a mohs of around 9.5, which will require a diamond plate to flatten E: also oilstone and whetstone are interchangeable terms, there's nothing special about using oil vs water as a lubricant, and you won't ruin anything by using water on it even if it has oil in it. If anything some soapy water would help clean the pores of oil which may make it cut faster as you lap it.

I have no room for it at our current house so I got rid of the base it looked lovely anyways. When ever we move to a place I can set it up again I've got some 1/4" thick steel corner pieces I salvaged from somewhere and some 4x4 posts to build a new base with.

I didn't realize that little detail was to let metal in. I kind of liked it as just a devorative little detail that went with the chamfers on the legs.

Anyone seen any good/clever sliding miter saw dust collection solutions? The two camps I've seen on youtube etc. seem to either be 'build a big box behind the saw' (or buy one of those fabric hoods) or spend a lot of time trying to engineer a not very effective better dust collection port behind the blade. Neither seems super ideal, but maybe it's just impossible to collect dust from a miter saw.

Unless the dust port on yours manages to capture way more dust than mine does, I can't see how anything based on the port is going to help much. I have considered taking one side off of a cheap range hood and using it (upside down) as a funnel behind the saw, but it seems Sisyphean.

I've been thinking about something I got to do later this year. How do I move a 600kg bandsaw across an uneven gravel driveway to it's new home. First steps are removing both wheels, the table and the wooden enclosure to make less heav and less top heavy. But I still got 450-500kg left. I got a shop crane that can lift it and move t about inside the shop easily enough but not so outside on the gravel. I'm thinking if I should lift it onto half a sheet of 3/4" plywood and screw it in place, and then have more sheets of plywood on the ground, then drag it over the full sheets using a winch and moving the sheets from the back to the front as I go. Then I got a similar issue with the table saw. And perhaps the solution is the same. Well that's my rough idea anyway, anyone got a better idea?

First steps are removing both wheels, the table and the wooden enclosure to make less heav and less top heavy. But I still got 450-500kg left. Put it on the plywood with the crane first, and secure it. A ratchet strap or two may help as well. Then get some of those wheels they use for heavy chain link gates/tractors/ etc. That could handle the weight split over 4-6 wheels, and get one of those beefy large pallets they use for sheet metal, and mount the wheels to it, then lift and fasten the band saw to the pallet, then have you and some strong friends pull it over? Large diameter wheel casters or scaffolding base wheels may also work depending on your ground conditions. It's a hacky first thought but I'd probably do something along those lines. You could also probably rent a skid steer with forklift attachments with appropriate weight capacity for a day and do it that way. Line up whatever landscaping work you might have been putting off for a while too if you want to make more use of the machine while it's there Mederlock fucked around with this message at 14:31 on Apr 6, 2023 |

If you have or can borrow a pallet jack, that makes it real easy too-use the crane to lift the saw onto some 4x6 sleepers so you can get under it with the pallet jack, roll pallet jack along plywood. Obviously be very careful because bandsaws are awkwardly top heavy. Also post pics of your 600kg bandsaw. My 24” Laguna is a paltry 300kg. I’d bet my mentor’s 38” Crescent weighed a ton easy tho.

To be fair I never weighed it and it's just a guesstimate I got from someone else so I internalized it as truth. It's all cast iron though, 24" wheels.

Guess you can't rent a forklift then, huh. Buddy of mine used to buy surplus 3 phase beasts like that and did a lot of his moving with a pallet jack. Course, you need a firm flat surface to go that route. Guess I got nothin'.

I guess stick it in a press while it dries? I buy them pre-dyed for exactly that reason, I don't have the means or need to worry about dying them consistently through. I pretty much have a lifetime supply now as Certainly Wood only sells their dyed veneers in full lengths...which is 10+ feet lengths.
