    I agree with Bill the pattern MAY interfere with the fretwork. I feel the same about people who cut intricate patterns into highly figured wood. The wood detracts from the cutting and the cutting from the wood.just my 2cents

    You could be pushing to the left or right since you are cutting dense wood

    Fox chapel is having a "garage sale " if I remember the announcement correctly.

    Overseas seller, possibly a licensed item (doubt it but possibly)

    I think sanding is safer than planeing. Just my opinion.

    Washington DC confuses us also. DC is not a state but a district the land was taken from Maryland and Virginia but it is treated as a city with a mayor not a governor.

    I used MDF for portraits many times. I also use a respirator, dust collection and an overhead air purifier when cutting it.

    If the joint is well glued, the wood grain matched no problem, poorly done joint well?

    Is your wood free of dust? Any dust sanding, saw will cause the pattern to lift. I use a tack cloth or a damp cloth to clean the wood before attaching tape or shelf liner.

    Niles was working in the shop on one of the machines a few weeks ago.

    The junior hawk was a redesign made by bushton in about 2010. I didn't know they ever sold any. I cut on one at a s.a.w. event in 2010 but don't remember any specific details.

    A simple rule of thumb is at least 3 teeth in contact with the wood at any time. Read as thin wood use small blades.

    I use templates for making toy cars that I donate. I cut them from scraps so having a pattern to trace around is easier than printing one. I often cut 30 plus in a day

    90 deg exactly for blade to table or side pressure nost likely. Excess front to back blade aggressiveness can also cause it.

    I have a zero clearance table on my saw from plexiglass, I also use it for tracing patterns so I can see the grain

    Wooden teddy bear bought Mike's business.

    Brenda, any 3/4" wood would work fine. Poplar cuts easily but has a much better appearance than pine.

    Check the mfr website for Olsen, pegas, the maker of flying dutchman (I know bearwoods Carrie's them). You have more patience than i.

    Bear woods has them. Not sure what tooth configuration you want.

    Think about the difference in say a #1 blade and a #7. The 7 is more aggressive than the 1 now wh as t if that 1 cut like the 7. Obviously exaggeration to make a point but that is how I think of blade aggressiveness.

    I used to have a 50 amp fuse I used for troubleshooting power supplies, worked great.

    Painted but not as dark,

    I love mine. Just wish it didn't wobble a little bit. The newer design should eliminate the problem. I do a lot of oversize fretwork and it works easier than my dremel plunge router and takes smaller bits also.

    Try searching "solid surface" not just Corian. Corian is a trademark name for the stuff there are several makers. Some time ago there was a website that sold cutoffs but I don't remember the name. There is a huge difference in cutting Plexiglas/lexan and cutting solid surface materials.
