Reasons of health. Chris, I don't know how to link, bladeforums, knifemakers shop talk section.

Just saw his post on another site, that sucks.

I moved my belt to the fastest speed, and oh-what-a-difference that made, it's like a different saw now! Another benefit was the faster speed took the chatter and vibration out of cutting my thinner stock.

That is a very nice piece, beautiful!

^LOL!

Good Looking knife, really like that box elder!

I'll have to experiment with my speed a bit..., .

I use the 18tpi and it does well until I drop down below .090. When I cut .072, I get a lot of chatter and vibration. Still cuts, but not as efficiently as .090 and above.

Same here.

Those are nice saws, really makes things easier compared to using the grinder. You will enjoy that one! I put a small, removable rubber pad on mine for sitting on days when I am cutting out multiples.

Excellent.

And maybe some day they will develop a variable speed control like on a vs router for this and other similar applications. I had followed a thread elsewhere regarding this, not a lot of success, although someone is selling a vs control they say will work. I'll keep hoping.

Okay, this is what I have I bought this on sale over a year ago for the 8"disc side, and good thing because the belt side has always had issues and is next to useless for me. Lately, when I turned it on the high pitched squeal would deafen you, which was coming from the belt end. Took that...

Thank you, Wayne, I will check that out.

Thanks John and Ed, I will proceed with caution.

I have seen threads of disc and belt grinders that are "convertable" in nature, can be run in either vertically or horizontally (shaft orientation). Are motors designs as either/or with others as bi-use, and how would you tell if you had a good candidate for a flip-over conversion? Thanks

I got mine a couple months ago, can't imagine anything I might want to take on that it can't do within it's dimensions. Best <$1K kiln I saw on the market, very happy with it. YMMV...

Kevin, you referenced your 1080/1084 dvd, will your next DVD be for 52100? Hope so, I know a lot of folks that have been waiting 7-8 years for a definitive 52100, me included.

An incredible build, thanks for the link.

Very nice!
