Coating of current lot is in steady progress, as you see below. Snack beds have been sufficiently coated and they are no longer subjected to my coating scheme.
These are under (surface) protective coating and within a week or so they will go mat.
Today's topic is the table saw that I use. It is a mini. Blade diameter is something like 10cm. Normal table saw will measure something like 30 cm in diameter. They are monsters. They also sound like monsters in operation. I hate table saws. I really do, too dangerous to my liking.
That is why I only use a mini table saw. Anyway, the point of this article is its use. I very rarely use it for normal cuttings. Rather, I use it for making grooves, prior to cutting along the grooveline with my band saw.
There are advantages. The groove can be made more or less exactly parallel to the fence on the table and therefore act as the guide line for band saw cutting. Also, since the material to be cut is already grooved on both sides cutting by the band saw will be so much easier.
The grooves are cut to three different depths, increasingly deeper, each time at something like 3 mm to reduce burden on the motor.
I spent a fair amount of time today, cutting materials for a new set of hashes, as you see per below.
These will be planed tomorrow, I hope. I also made a progress with my new set of snack beds. There is no photo for this.
