Sam I put a little LocTite on mine to keep them from moving. Of coarse use the type that you can undo. I have also used finger nail polish in a pinch.
-
You really are strutting your stuff. Great cutting.
-
I do understand a little better after reading Travis's post and I also watched a Steve Good video which helped. Steve made the comment that thinner wood was easier to learn how to turn. I used a 1/4" piece of pine and did better but I need to get more practice on turning. I hope to get better at doing this.

Sam I don't understand about back pressure. If scrolling on a straight line and you need to make a 90* turn to the right where do you apply slight back pressure?
-
I am having trouble making 90* turns and it seems I am not improving just getting worse. What I am working on now is 1/2" thick red oak and using FD UR #3 blades. I am running my saw at about 75% and have been slowing it down and speeding it up, but no luck. I also have checked the blade to make sure it's tight and sharp. I do know part of it is my vision and I am having cataract surgery next month. I will be so happy. I just don't think it's all my vision.

Dave here is a very good video on the DW788 saw. It's also very long but in 4 parts. I think you will find just about anything you need to know about your 788.

Dave I think you should try Weldbond glue. It does good gluing to paint and dries clear and faster than Titebond. It also doesn't take a lot of clamping pressure. When I can I use a 23 gauge pin nailer. These are very useful. http://www.dickblick.com/products/weldbond-universal-adhesive/?clickTracking=true&wmcp=pla&wmcid=items&wmckw=23912-1160&gclid=Cj0KEQjwyozABRDtgPTM0taCrKsBEiQATk6xDhbdFL9i8ELPR_ZQvILwq53nrAi3h77rXP53THxHL2waAu_e8P8HAQ

I use PVC pipe and label them. This works very well for me but mine doesn't compare with Dan's blade holder.
-
Jerry that looks like a good deal. I bought one at Woodcraft and I like it but it cost $75. I really can't do without it.
-
I love it Jim and you deserve the blue Ribbon.

Some people call them Hedge Apple trees and I think Iron Wood trees. It depends on what part of the country your in and who your talking to. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=bodock%20tree

My nice likes the splits.She says it adds to it and makes it look more rustic.
-
My nice want me to make her some coasters for her to sell. I had these slices of Bodoc laying in the shop and when she saw them she said they would be a great seller. I was going to make some type of scroll saw project out of them and I still plan to. My question is how to keep the bark from flaking and coming off?
-
Glue a piece of wood on the back and screw your hanger to that.
-
Very good Jim. Do you use the dust collection that came with the EX? Mine was so loud and in the way so I took it off. Just wondering what your opinion was.
-
I agree Marge.
-
I have a Dremel tool but I wasn't thinking about it. I really don't know what I was thinking about. Boy am I in trouble.
-
There is a thread on sanding but I didn't want to hijack it. I have been thinking and wondering about sanding mops. They seem like they could be useful but being new I really don't know and I don't know which to buy.
-
Rusty glad you got it. They gave one away on the "Router Forum" a while back and there was a lot of information about it. All good! If you haven't got a good rip blade for your table saw do your self a favor and get one. I got one about a month ago and I couldn't believe the difference. I got the Freud blade.
-
Scott I am happy with my EX16 but I would have bought yours if it was available a few weeks ago. I am always a day late and a dollar short.
-
Bobby it's been a long time since we have had a white Christmas so I believe I will paint the base white.
-
Sounds like a great time. I wish I was there with you.
-
Thanks I will try that. It worked!!! Now why didn't I think of that.
-
It's been 13 years since I retired from Nissan and the guys in tool and die gave me this to make sure I wouldn't come back. I just thought I would like to try and cut it.
