So how does the table saw measure up?
Having built the gauge to test the accuracy of the setup of my table saw, I might as well get on and use it. The blade (of which I forgot to take photos) varies from front to back by about … Continue reading
Table saw alignment gauge complete!
At last, after a lot of changes of design for the 3d-printed mount, I have the entire thing assembled. The glue is taking a while to go off, so I’ll leave it overnight before testing it out.
Ok, ok, so I said I wasn’t going to do it
But yesterday when looking for suitable bolts etc. to finish off the dial gauge project I found some 6mm plastic threaded knobs that I could use instead of nuts for locking the mount onto the carrier. Unfortunately to use them … Continue reading
Success!
My last 3D-printed bracket gits my dial gauge! It’s a lovely snug fit for mine and there’s no chance of the gauge moving during use, though the channel for the probe is actually not as high as it ideally ought … Continue reading

My modified design for the dial gauge mount: And the final print, which is considerably better than the previous one, thanks to my discovery that the X axis belt had become very slack. Looks much better. Only whilst the design … Continue reading
Dial gauge mount fail

Dial gauge mount printed
Well, I’m not too impressed with the print quality, but here it is. There are a number of issues that need correcting: The centre section is too big The hole in the base is too small The offset cut-out in … Continue reading
First design for dial gauge mount
After a quick bit of messing about in FreeCAD, here it is. I’ll try to get it printed out in the morning and see how it fits.
I know this much is true
A cheap dial gauge arrived today. My plan is to 3d print a holder for it that will fit to a block of wood riding on a strip of MDPE that will fit in one of the T-slots of my … Continue reading
Memory Lane, 22 June 2022: Putting the box joints to use
Now my new table saw blade has arrived I can get on with testing it out for making box joints. First, a test run using the jig I posted about a few days ago. Confident that it would do the … Continue reading
