Murph, That is called a radial saw. An avid woodworker would be jealous of you for stumbling on the deal. A well-designed radial saw has more capacity, and can sometimes provide better accuracy with less tearout, versus using a miter saw. In regards to cutting metal with it, I will NEVER...

Congrats, Fred!!

Easy now, Rex! LOL The dumb ole dog let me know when others were coming onto the property. And, more importantly, he didn't bother the sand in the casting area! But he certainly was expensive to feed! At one time I had both dog and cat. Sampson was a St. Bernard, Sophie was a stray cat...

Andrew, Thank you for posting the video. That should help Pedro understand it better. Never ceases to amaze me how often a description or explanation is misunderstood, but after visual witness.....click..... Once again, thank you. Pedro, the help you're getting in this thread is but...

A bevel is any angle other than square (90 degrees).

Might check with Fred Rowe. His Bubble Jig will help tremendously. http://bubblejig.com/

Well, it definitely isn't the fact that propane is your fuel. Narrowed down, here are but a few things to consider. 1. Your chamber construction. You want insulating qualities. Different materials will have an impact on how much heat you can sustain. Hard firebrick, although more durable...

Brad, Definitely a thread-restoring file, and a metric one at that. They are used on external threads. Very popular with assemblers, especially mechanics. Plumbers usually have one for pipe threads in their box as well. Typical applications: 1. Cleaning the threads. Often, a...

I have a Jet 708636CK that has served me very well for two years now. Concerning air-moving capability, it's in the same class as the HF model you're looking at, but with a canister filter. Paid $600 for it. Extremely well-packed. Every piece of hardware was there. And the instruction/parts...

Awesome story, and great to see your blade in use. I was raised a country boy, but I still (and probably always will) SHUDDER at the sight of snakes, any of 'em! Still can't get over a little garter snake biting my cheek when I was 6 in the garden. Later when I married first wife, we...

Welcome to KD, Rob! Good Luck, Rob

Fred's jigs are nice. It's very simple in design, and that's the beauty of it. Really great because it allows more use of vision. Really improves things for someone with sshhaakkyy hands like myself. But like I mentioned, it may not be the answer Rey is looking for, since he's looking for...

Thanks for the tip, Ed! Never thought about skipping the steps like that; always was the type to go progressively finer. But with today's engineered abrasives like the Norax, it makes sense. I'm gonna have to try that. Ordered a couple of the Norax belts from BossDog a while back- those...

I haven't tried 3M's latest offerings. They're probably just as good as people say. BossDog, if you're reading this, I'll order Norton products as long as they manufacture what I need and you carry them. Reasons are my own, nothing to do with which is "better". 'Nuff said on it.

Well, I don't own a sharpening business, but I know plenty of people who own restaurants, and still do a few sharpening sessions as time permits. Pricing for sharpening services can be all over the place, so you have to really decide for yourself. Personally, I would not try to be the "low...

Nothing wrong with occasional trip down memory lane, Rudy. 1st for me was 1964 Mustang fastback; totaled it beyond any reasonable repair. Let's say it was a learning experience in exceeding limits of suspension design. Next up was a '67 Malibu SS. Liked it better because I was familiar with...

Do you have any ideas on chamber dimensions? Both the T-Rex and the Z-burner should be great providing you don't go too small or too large on chamber size.
