I found it interesting. But, DID YOU SEE THE FINGERNAILS ON THAT GIRL! I have no idea how someone could have nails like that, or even hold a piece like she was and saw.
I think I understand the problem. When the knob turns, it twists the blade out instead of tightening it. Take the screw knob thing out and Lightly Sand it flat, I have to do this with my Excalibur sometimes.
I tried the tubes in the holes on the side thing. I found them sloppy fit and annoying. I just stick one tube in a hole with the blade I am currently working with. Keep the rest in a clear box, with long dividers, in their package. One size per slot. I might make a tube holder. When I’m not working on something else. Maybe.
i hated going through magazines looking for a certain type of project. I went through and tore out all the projects that interested me, labeled them and filed them. I also filed the inserts by month year. It’s easier now.
Stack and drill the holes to the exact size. Stack the first two then using the top one again, stack one or two more, drill, repeat. Anyway, that’s how I would do it.
I tell my students, First, pause to let the wood catch up to the blade. Back up just enough so the teeth are going to be in the proper position. Now lean on the side and go.
The hockey stick is caused when the set screw and the thumb screw don’t meet in the center of your blade clamp. Because it is the bottom clamp, I usually sit on the floor so I can see. Back out the thumb screw and see where the set screw is, then just adjusting until centered. The only hard part about this is getting back up off the floor.
Can’t help with the noise.
