    This makes sense to me as well - when I started this cut I was hesitant to make the smaller cuts so I opted to do a few of the tight ones first and see how I did. Since they seemed to work ok, I kept going and it was this that started to get nervy. The more I cut the more flimsy things became until I had to keep a finger on the thin areas

    Thanks Brad, Yes, they will be framed - in the process of gluing up 2 new frames just for them. What about when the pieces pop out? Do you replace them in place and tape them? That's what was happening and I wasn't sure if I should fetch them out of the trash and tape them in (they popped into the trash I keep next to my stool). I also am a very slow cutter - I've been on the slowest speed for these and others and only increase speed for straight/long cuts and even then rarely get above half speed What size blade would you have used to cut these? I used a Pegas 3 UR Buts don't bother me - I've gotten very close to the blade a few times and nicked a nail no biggie so far. Thanks all for the advise - greatly appreciated

    That's about the price I found when I was looking for a new saw - Refurb was very rare for these

    Now that is very cool! I agree over $10 easy! Ok so you have an SG, make a Les Paul, Strat and Telecaster and you've got the most popular shapes LOL Great idea!

    Packing tape I agree is a problem if you leave it on for long periods, but shelf paper so far no issues for me

    That is exceptional! I don't play chess either, however I do love chess sets - kinda weird isn't it? Yours looks great and love the fact the piece go into its own drawer! Well done!

    I haven't had this problem myself - I have several projects glued up and waiting for cutting for a month at least - when I cut them the paper comes off with no issue.

    I cut a piece this morning. It had more fine fretwork than anything I've done to date My problem or questions I have is - when I was cutting, some of the cuts were very close together (about or less than a 1/16") and as I was cutting the piece around the cut was bouncing/lifting slightly. I had to hold my finger on the small cut outs because I was afraid it would break. I read an article that said leave the cuts in place and tape them to give the whole piece more stability - problem was as I cut them out, they would come out of the cut - I am not using a zero clearance top and some of the very small cuts would drop - those I'm sure with a zero clearance I can keep from dropping. However, the ones that come out do you put them back in and tape them or leave them out? I cut this very slowly as well - here is the cut 2 stack 1/8" BB ply Thanks as always in advance

    I've been looking at a project to cut and there is quite a bit of veining. I've only done veining where you can get to it from an existing cut. This project has veining where it appears you would have to drill a hole, the veining is so small . An example would be veining feathers on a bird or in the middle of a leaf may be more accurate I have micro bits but not sure if that is the best way to do this. Also not sure what blade to use - I have several, but have only been using 3ur and 5ur Pegas for the most part Thanks in advance

    I think they'll fetch a pretty penny! Nice work - thanks for sharing then
  22. new2woodwrk

    Very nice - I don't think I have the patience or tolerance to do something that intricate! Thanks for sharing
