    Welcome to the Village, Laura. Bruce

    I feel your pain. I hate it when a repair turns into a guessing game with a stiff price attached to each guess. I hope the new motor will solve the problem. Keep us posted. Bruce

    Well done!

    I own a 14" Grizzly G0457 with a 2 HP motor. I have used it to resaw a variety of hardwoods up to and including Jatoba which is extremely hard. I would encourage 1.5 hp or greater for resawing.

    Those are really beautiful. Well done!

    Nice! Now you can accuse him of being "all hat and no cattle"

    Nice work!. By the way, you really need to pamper those puppies a little more.........

    There is woodworking and then there is working with the wood. This is the latter. The grain is like a celebration of the subject. You have a great eye! Extremely well done! Bruce

    Beautiful work, Ray!

    Wow! I'll bet that was some nervous cutting with the length of the piece and the thinness of the pattern. Well done!

    I love it! The entire batch is very compelling. Bruce

    Nice! The heavy grain of the wood is perfect for that cutting. Is that oak?

    The degrees of freedom for side-to-side movement of the blade in the Pegus holder is .024" (.6mm) on the upper clamp and the lower clamp. That is not the angle. That side to side movement impacts the angle by up to roughly .5 degrees. When doing inlay .5 a degree is significant.

    My problem is that the angle of the blade changes after setting it due to the ability of the blade clamps to shift laterally by up to .021" left and right each (Top and bottom). I can set the blade angle but as I cut angle changes dramatically. With the combined freedom of movement the blade angle has the freedom to change by .6 degrees. I am in the process of trying to restrict that freedom of movement by inserting spacers. I love your work, by the way! It is spectacular!

    Your troubleshooting is impressive. I hope the new controller board does the trick. To update an old adage: To err is human. To really screw things up you need "technology".

    Hi Jim: I have discovered that the Pegus clamps installed on my Excalibur have .021" of play side to side (top and bottom clamps). The original factory blade holders share the issue. I talked to Bear Woods about this and they told me they would send some spacers. These have not yet arrived. I am discovering impossible variability in the inlays. The first pf the 3 initials for the pencil holder boxes goes all the way through, the second stops 2/3s of the way through and the third stops at 1/3 of the way. I suspect that any sideways pressure would cause the bottom blade holder to drift to the left and increase the angle of the cut causing a fit that is too tight. I don't know for certain that the side-to-side play is the problem but it is certainly high on the list of potential causes. I will follow up after the spacers arrive. I have also discovered some folding knife brass washers and Teflon washers on Amazon that would serve the purpose. My inlay project is successfully creating firewood.

    We owe a great Kudos to Travis. His Inkscape tutorials are awesome, especially the particulars on word art. Nice job on the sign!!! Bruce

    Hi Mike! Welcome to the village from Minneapolis! You are considering two outstanding machines. You will be well served by either. I look forward to what you produce for those precious new Grandkids. Bruce
