| banderson |  problem with blade marks using table saw..January 4th, 2006 03:19 PM I have noticed that occasionally i will get those circular blade marks in the wood after some cuts. I had thought it was because the fence was not perpendicular to the blade, and that upon getting my new tablesaw (craftsman model# 21829) and verifying the fence straightness, that it would dissapear, but noticed last night that it would occasionally happen. Any ideas, or tips to get rid of this? (tired of sanding down edges that are exposed) |
| PM2790 | Fence January 5th, 2006 09:12 AM The fence needs to be parallel to the blade, not perpendicular. After locking your fence in position and with the saw powered off, measure the distance of a tooth at the front of the blade to the fence. Rotate that tooth to the rear and measure again. If the measurement is not the same adjust the fence. A soft face mallet works well to tap the fence into alignment. |
| Adam | blade marks May 1st, 2006 01:22 AM April 30, 2006 Blade marks One reason Jointers exist is to get rid of those circular saw marks. Instead of sanding, a properly "tuned" hand plane can do a wonderful job of removing any circular saw tool marks. Many woodworkers carry a little Block plane around in their apron pockets (or a new leather holster offering) to "touch-up" and final-fit boards' edges. Also, a combination blade uses both "set" teeth (that can score wood edges) and a rip tooth. You might try using a dedicated rip blade for fewer tooling marks. |
