My question is how deep will the bleach go? If you are doing an Intarsia project, then shape it, will you have to bleach It again?

Lets Talk Sanding Disc For Random Orbit Sanders

I’ve been using the Diablo brand for quite a long time. I’m happy with these. I get them at Home Depot. -
Without more information, it’s difficult to diagnose what your problem might be. One leading cause of blade breakage is not enough tension on the blade. If you pluck the blade, you want to hear a high “plink” sound. If it goes “clunk”, it’s definitely not tensioned properly. The second leading cause is applying to much lateral pressure when making a curve or turn. Let the blade do the cutting, don’t force the cut.

Hey Gary, you didn’t mention what kind of wood you used. It looks like Walnut, but I’m not sure. Regardless, it definitely looks like a hardwood. I never stain hardwoods as I like the natural look of most hardwoods. What I would do is use a 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Soaking in the oil for a few minutes will bring out the natural grain and color of the wood. Then when dry, you can apply a topcoat of your choice. To test what the wood will look like with the oil, spritz on some mineral spirits. This is what the oil will do to the wood. one thing to consider is the end grain will soak in more stain than the flat grain. If you soak in stain, all the inside cuts will come out darker. Even if you use a pre stain.

Sorry to hear about your troubles Ike. I hope your new Excalibur is a good one Ike. The current Excalibur EX is made in China and is not getting good reviews. Just ask Kevin @kmmcrafts.
