    Great ideas that I never take the time to make. I will now that you have lit the fire.
  2. OCtoolguy
    I gotcha!

    Paul, what are you using for the black hose? It looks like a better hose that what I have been seeing on others setups.

    I must admit to not knowing what "finger cots" are. I am more like Paul. The less I have to worry about the better. A cap, dust mask, and that's it.

    From what I recall on my 226 Ultra, if there are a couple of small holes (about 1/8") in the upper are on the right hand side, that is where you mount the square clamp for loading blades and tightening the set screws. If those holes aren't there I'd think it means round clamps.

    Well, I hope, for everybody's sake, that this one proves to be an improvement over your first one. I have touted Wen products and their service so it makes me sad to hear that you had a problem so soon after buying your saw. I hope it was just and anomaly. But, please do keep all of us updated so we can feel safe when buying their products.

    I honestly don't think it has anything to do with the cell phones. Unless Apple does something "Apple". That's why I don't use any Apple products. A whole different can of worms. I bought my wife an iPad 10 years ago. She is not a techy at all. She never even tried to use it. I have it plugged in to my PC just to keep it charged. I've never found a use for it either. I know there are folks who live by their iPads but not me. PC, laptop and phone are as far as I go. Now, with all the AI popping up, I'm afraid that we have reached a point where once the machines start talking to each other, the human race is doomed.

    Have you checked the pattern catalog at Steve Good's site?

    It looks like a fairly late 220VS. Ultra? Not a bad looking saw. How much?
  10. OCtoolguy
    Maybe too powerful?

    Congrats! I'm happy for you. I look forward to your ongoing reports. If you are having trouble with the magnifier try mounting it to something not connected to the saw.

    I'd love to but my knees are so bad now it's getting harder to walk everyday.

    Welcome Bill and thanks for your service. I always wanted to try skydiving but wife said no. Now, at 80 and knees shot, she says "oh go ahead". Lol.
  14. OCtoolguy
    By all means, please post your setup. Thanks!
  15. OCtoolguy
    Thanks. I sort of thought the same thing but your pics make that tee look bigger and one end looked like it was smaller than the other. I'll figure out the rest. I do appreciate your input and the pics.
  16. OCtoolguy
    Would it be asking too much for more details of your system? Parts, sizes, etc? If you have time, I for one would appreciate it. The large T has me curious as to it's size at all 3 ends. Are they all the same? Thanks.
  17. OCtoolguy
    My problem exactly. Also the pages in my book are down in an off-color that doesn't scan well.

    One of my first projects was a candy/nut basket from a book. I tried many times to get a good scan of that pattern in order to make some alterations using Inkscape. I finally gave up. I begged for help here on the Village and a few folks did try but to no avail. I know a bit more about that program now so I might try it again. I was having trouble converting it from a scan to a jpg file that I could work with. This thread has sparked my curiosity to try again. Thanks to all. An interesting topic.

    That sure looks well engineered. I had something similar on my Dewalt prior to selling it. I might have to put another one together and use your ideas. First I have to come up with a stand that I'm happy with. Thanks for posting the pics. I might need to ask for more info. The tee that is the main part of your system, can you tell me anything about it? It appears to be two different sizes or am I looking at it askew?

    Rockytime just used a funnel with a couple of magnets and connected it to a vac & dd. Very simple and it worked. Easy to move if needed.
  21. OCtoolguy
    Yea! You'll love it!

    I did it years ago with my collection of Wood magazines. I just clamped the mags between two pieces of hardwood and drilled them using a brad point bit. It worked fine.

    We subscribe to the daily newspaper still. With that subscription we get the E edition also. It works great for highlighting an article an importing or sharing to whatever social media I choose. I share many of the cartoons if they have a political bent to them. No problem at all. So, if they can do it, so can the magazine publishers. They just choose not to. For whatever reason.

    Boom! Poof! Way to go Wiley Coyote!

    I've contacted Fox Chapel numerous times about making the patterns available digitally. They keep telling me they are not able to do it. Hogwash! The entire magazine is done digitally. Who do they think they are kidding? We may be old but we aren't stupid! I've been a loyal subscriber for many years but I think I'm done.
