Replaced the broken Starrett blade with a Timberwolf blade made of the finest swedish silicon steel! We shall see how long it lasts. Tensioned with the tension gauge. Noticed that the blade tends to track towards the back side of the tire on the upper wheel.
The broken Starrett blade appeared to fail at the weld. |

A while back I saw a log from Mike M that the Makita jigsaw blade was missing. There was no blade installed in it, but the blades are right next to the charger in the stand, so I installed one. I also found 4 allen wrenches laying there and put them in the toolbox with the other mess of allen wrenches |

Duane replaced the bandsaw blade, but the door had come off the hinges (remember the hinges are broken and requires a gentle touch). Duane left the door off and the machine out of service. I came in and reattached the door to the bandsaw. It is fine unless it is opened and it stands a chance of coming off if not handled carefully. No one should be opening the door except to change the blade. I have new hinges from laguna, but they are in the style of the hinges on the Laguna 3000 (M02) bandsaw and require drilling new attachment points for the hinges to be attached. I plan to get to this next week. |

The white filament broke off inside its tube in the AMS. I had to remove the filament carrier to remove the broken filament. The unit is now repair and back in service.
Side issue… the plastic post on the left side of the AMS housing, which is used to receive the mounting screw for the filament carrier, is stripped. As such, it no long properly secures the carrier to the housing. It should be repaired. (Quite possible a metal insert.) Care should be taken not to ever tighten the remaining screw on the right side which in turn may cause it to be stripped, also. |

As reported in Rpt. No. 2146, the automatic blast gate is malfunctioning. Since cycling its controller's power didn't help, the slider was disengaged from the mechanism's carriage so the slider could be moved manually to open and close the gate. After disconnecting the controller's power connector, the carriage was moved to facilitate that. Signage was added to the jointer fence to explain that the blast gate and dust collector needed to be operated manually. |

Wendy Terrell was using the M35 Sawstop when the brake was tripped. She was cutting a thin (3/16″) piece of Masonite with a melamine laminate on one side. So good so far. Glued to the board was a smaller, very thin (1/64″) piece of what looked like white plastic. When the blade reached the thin piece, the brake tripped. Upon looking very carefully at the edge of the smaller white piece, it turned out to be aluminum. So sad. Wendy went home.
The brake and possibly the blade need to be replaced. |

The router bit (marked with blue tape), that resides in the silver box in the bottom of the Router #1 (M30) table, has a bearing that is too small for the router bit.

I had to loosen the blots that hold the blast gate sandwich together to free it. Once I did that, I reconnected it and retightened the bolts on the blast gate. Cycled multiple times and is working. Don't know what was holding it closed so tightly. In general the plastic gates don't slide very smoothly. Maybe it was an accumulation of sawdust?? |

Rick and I got the stuck spindle out, using a pipe wrench. We think a piece of metal got down in the arbor. The spindles need their threads cleaned up with a die and the sander needs its threads cleaned up with a tap. It is important to only tighten hand tight, using one wrench to hold the arbor. If needed use the second wrench to remove the spindle. Rick took the spindle that we removed home to clean up the scars from the pipe wrench |

Additional usage signage has been added to hopefully eliminate/minimize users screwing up the Wixey gauge's absolute (“ABS”) accuracy reading by holding the “ON/OFF” button in long enough (3-5 seconds) to cause improper re-calibration. Proper calibration procedures have been added to the back of the planer's hanging Wixey placard for shift supervisor use if he/she determines it's necessary. A calibration test block has been provided for their use in that determination. |

Re.

The Wixey cutting depth gauge needed to be recalibrated again. Apparently, even the newly added signage is inadequate to avoid that! Any suggestions? – talk to Wixey about their design? Provide more effective user education? Train supervisors to check and recalibrate them? Go back to a custom (better protected) gauge? Remove the gauges entirely? |

Since the shop's display computer apparently was having difficulty “connecting to the server”, I opened the server's(?) bench room cabinet door and tried to cool things down with a fan – that didn't seem to help. Maybe those doors should be removed and the operating instructions updated? |

The batteries in the Wixey depth gauge both measured 1.35V. The 1.32V batteries in the 20″ planer's Wixey may have been causing loss of calibration, so these batteries were also replaced, and the gauge was re-calibrated. Since the batteries only seem to be lasting about 4 months, 1.5V Lithium batteries have been ordered to replace them. |

he Outfeed table for TS #2 is slightly higher than the table saw, so it can cause a “catch” when the end of the piece moves onto the outfeed table. The outfeed table is flat on the ground and the saw height is not adjustable to my knowledge. It is only about 1/32″, so I think planing the edge of the outfeed table will do the trick. |

Need new conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is worn on the right side, causing the piece to either get stuck in the sander or possibly ejecting it backwards out the front of the sander where the operator may be standing. I put a note on the sander in blue tape.
This is caused by the sander dialed down to minimum height above the conveyor and the dust collection suction, drawing the belt up into the drum sander. |

Bandsaw blade broke while IWW A student was making a routine cut. Don't believe he was exerting undue sideways pressure on the blade. The broken blade struck his finger resulting in a small cut, but it was a bleeder. Cleaned it up and applied a bandaid and continued with class. Re[placed the blade and tensioned with the tension gauge. I noticed that the tension indicator at the top was lower than the sharpie mark for 1/4″ blade. Perhaps the blade was under tensioned which led to the blade breaking? When tensioned with the tension gauge the tension indicator at the top is higher than the sharpie mark for 1/4″ blade. I left it as tensioned with the tension gauge.
The hinges to the upper door are broken. When I opened the door it damn near fell off. The top hinge is broken and barely holding together, and the door came out of the bottom hinge. I put the bottom hinge back together and shut the door and it is holding. I put a note on the bandsaw to use caution when opening the door.
I think we ought to look at the guides on these bandsaws and evaluate them for adjustment. seems like they travel a little too far backwards before touching the back of the guide. |

The nuts on the sliding fences' T-Bolts have been replaced with knobs to enable tool-less fence adjustment. So, the nut driver has been removed from the adjacent saw accessory drawer. The angular misalignment of the T-Track on the left (and right?) extension table with the saw's fences caused some user confusion yesterday. The Makita material vertical vise/clamp appears too worn to restore its proper automatic quick release/clamp function. It should probably be replaced. |

There's a substantial time delay before open blast gates can turn the unit back on after it turns off.
Yesterday at 2:00PM the automatic time delay had been set to “Short” rather than “Long” as has been advised (to minimize motor stress/heating). Maybe monitoring the motor temperature would be prudent, especially after the unit is moved outside? That motor's name plate should show what it's rated for as well as its manufacturer (“Baldor”?) and model number (to get additional usage and maintenance guidance). It's likely that the motor/system would perform significantly better for longer if the motor was provided with 230V rather than the current 206V.
Also, at the end of yesterday's 2:00-5:00 PM shift, sawdust/chips had backed up in the leftmost dust drum's hose (fortunately the rightmost drum was only ~2/3 full!). I didn't notice if the red alarm light was on or not (and didn't think to check it either before or after wiping off its lens when emptying the drums). (The video should show if it was working.) Maybe an audio alarm and/or an additional more dependable (electro-mechanical?) sensor system should be considered? |

Thin strips and debris that was again building up under the kerf plate was removed. Laminated Instructions on how to easily and properly adjust the sliding fences was added to the drawer adjacent to the saw. That drawer now also contains a nut-driver to facilitate fence adjustment, a labeled Stop Block for that fence, and the saw's operator manual. An additional (Bosch) easy-to-use quick release vertical vise was installed/placed in the left hole on the saw's base. Signage was added to the saw's original (Makita) vise to assist in its proper use. It was installed/placed in the base's right vise hole. Its adjustability and potential for lower profiles makes it a better option for bevel cuts. |

2.5-inch-high sliding “zero” clearance Baltic Birch vertical fences were installed. (The deep socket wrench/screwdriver currently required to loosen/tighten them is in the adjacent “Miter Accessories & Tools Drawer” along with a Stop Block and another vertical vise/clamp.) Placards with usage instructions for the saw were hung from hooks attached to the left and right sides of the saw's enclosure. Note that shop policy is now that slide “Push” cutting should only be used when necessary (because of the width of the workpiece) and that the slide mechanism must be disabled when it's not being used (to avoid kickback). |

The LED on the “Spindle Enable” button appears to be intermittant. Note that the switch does function to control the spindle. I swapped buttons with the XXL and the problem persists on the HDM.

Next step would be to replace the VFD controller. |

The M11 Drum Sander appears to have two problems:
1. The drum does not turn when the switch is activated but the feed belt does turn when its switch is activated. Does not appear to be a breaker problem. Maybe the drum switch is bad.
2. The infeed and outfeed rollers are not working as designed. The infeed roller will engage the wood until it reaches the sanding drum, then the drum raises the infeed roller so that it is no longer engaged. The outfeed roller never engages the wood. |

While cleaning and adjusting the table saw on Tuesday, the table and blade alignment was checked. Spec is to be no greater then .010 out. When checking alignment it wash found to bet .023 out. Re aligned to within spec. Suspect that moving (pulling and pushing) the table saw to clean and adjust pulls the table out of alignment over time. Would recommend that the outfeed table(s) for both saws be modified to easily move so that the table saw is NOT moved for cleaning and adjustment. |

The boost transformer (Rpt No. 1,870) was mounted to the side of the cabinet. A Wixey WR550 “Remote Planer Readout” was installed to facilitate setting cut depth. (It functions much like the DRO on the 20″ planer.) Note that, unlike the Dewalt planer that this new Powermatic planer replaced, one full turn of the handwheel changes the cut depth 2mm (rather 1/16″). The tables were also waxed to reduce workpiece feed friction. |

A 24V boost transformer was installed to increase the supply voltage to the 230V recommended by the manufacturer. The manufacturer also recommends a 30A circuit – which isn't currently available and probably not really necessary. But, if the planer won't start someday, it's probably because the 20A circuit breaker in the service panel tripped during an attempted start-up. |

The cutter head covers were temporarily removed so a surprising amount of accumulated sawdust could be vacuumed up, the slight buildup on the cutterhead and carbide inserts could be removed (with a grout brush and Simple Green), and the inserts inspected for damage. One insert was chipped, so it was replaced with a new spare and all mounting screw torques were checked (none were loose). The feed rollers were cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and test cuts performed (by Nels). Resulting performance and past history suggests that it’s probably necessary to install new inserts to restore optimum performance.
As shown in the shop log, 34 of the 40 inserts were installed on 8/29/2021. They were rotated on 6/13/2022 and on 6/24/2023 (due to reported “tear out on epoxy”). The final rotation occurred and five inserts were replaced on 10/31/2023 (due to reported “marks on wood”)

The shop cleanliness was horrible and was most likely from the Friday before and not from that morning. The floor needed sweeping, various machines were covered in saw dust, the garbage cans needed emptying, etc. Just a note for info here. |

Yesterday (3/23) at about 2:45PM the #2 SawStop saw brake tripped. I was standing about 10 feet away and witnessed the event. The operator was using a push stick to make repeated cuts of about 1.5 in square strips of cherry. The wood was dry and there was no metal/conductive elements involved. So a Mystery and I will call SawStop tech support on Monday to report. The activated brake is on the main office desk and will send in to SawStop to let them read and report. The saw light indicated solid red after the activation and no other lights showed after using the brake bypass key. As was done here it is important to NOT PUSH IN THE POWER PADDLE after any brake event so that if there is any info in the brake stored memory it can be recovered. Removed brake and blade. Replaced both and the saw was put back in service. |

Regarding Rpt. No. 1850: The ridge was apparently caused by one of the (seemingly undamaged) carbide inserts being loose. It, and 38 of the other 39 inserts, were torqued to the correct 45 in-lbs using a proper T25 torx plus bit. The 40th insert could not be torqued due to screw head damage that was likely caused by using a standard (loose fitting) torx bit on it. The newer Byrd cutter heads in the 8″ Delta jointer and 13″ Dewalt planer both use torx plus insert screws. The 12″ jointer uses standard (inferior) torx screws for its Grizzly carbide inserts. They require the use of a standard T25 torx bit (T25 torx plus bits won't fit.) |

The Fein shop vac attached to the miter saw was full, Paul emptied it and cleaned the filter. The upper dust boot behind the blade is missing. According to Jerry's last report pieces of it were found in the internal dust collection path of the saw. I replace this about three weeks ago. I think people are too rough with the saw, pushing the blade forward too forcefully. The flexible rubber dust boot has to flex through the opening in the fence, and if pushed quickly and forcefully may cause it to tear. I have another one at home the I will bring in tomorrow and order more. Paul and I worked on the dust collection path and put back together with minor modification. We have a plan to improve the path and volume of air to the saw, but must manufacture (3D print) the parts first. After evaluating these improvements we can consider connection to the main dust collection system. |

I helped a member use the Dado stack on this saw today, and that was successful. But, after we replaced the stack with the original blade and cartridge, the saw will show a green light after plugged in – but it won't start, and then the red/green lights start flashing.
I tried a couple of times to re-install the cartridge thinking that must be the problem, but nothing has fixed it so far. Could be operator error, but right now I'm putting it out of service. |

Changed out brake and blade after event when a metal miter gauge was run into the blade. Removed the metal miter gauges with a wide fence from the shop. Now the only miter gauges are the ones that came with the tablesaw. Will need make up more sacrificial fences similar to the one for each saw we have now. Will also put out a note to the Shift Supervisors informing them. |

In response to Rep. No. 1763: My initial test cuts showed an 11″ wide Douglas fir board feeding – but not straight (tending toward the left on exit). The right side of the infeed bed roller seemed to be binding slightly before cleaning and adjustment. Cleaned the infeed and outfeed rollers and well as the cutter head and casting. (Duane's recommended Simple Green worked quite well.) Checked the gearbox oil level, drive gears, chains and belts. Cleaned and oiled the infeed and outfeed roller bushings. Cleaned and waxed the tables and their rollers. The board now feeds properly. 189 hours and 221 kWhr has been accumulated on the power monitor since its installation one year ago. |

The outfeed drive roller is not engaging correctly seems to be slightly higher than the cut height so that either the board stops feeding or spins slightly while feeding out. This is Bryan Harding reports for intro class I don't appear in the list. Call me at 858 705 3422 if you have questions. Cutting boards were getting stuck. I ran a nearly flat board though and it went though but spun around on the outfeed side. Outfeed roller clearly too high. |

Problem: Machine would not initialize to its home position. While moving along the Y axis there was a loud “grumbling” sound. When the Y stepper motors were disconnected the noise went away, however the machine would not home because there was no Y movement.
Resolution: The problem seemed to be in the Carbide Motion Controller. When I opened it up and cleaned the dust out, the problem went away. I guest its a case of CCWC (Came Clear While Cleaning)! |

Fixed Miter Saw “catch” at the top of the downward motion. Took apart the blade guard and fussed with it. In the end a little cleaning and lubricating the around the spring mechanism of the guard improved the operation with less force needed to bring the saw down into the cutting position.
Also straightened out the bent “ears” of the dust collection adapter attached to the blade arm and used duct tape to “repair” the torn rubber boot. Will order another boot. |

Cleared the totally clogged dust ports and hoses (everything was clogged with sawdust!) Removed the 1inch flow restrictor (i.e. Rockler nose adapter) at the saw end of dust collector hose. As a temporary improvement, connected the saw's dust hose to the Fein dust extractor set to start and stop with the saw. Taped over the port from Oneida to block it. The mechanism that raises the blade guard when the blade is lowered seems to be binding – making it really difficult to start cuts. |

I have done this before for my own blades. Going forward recommend we try to clean first before we decide to send blade for sharpening. Never seen a blade so dirty. It was on the #1 saw last Saturday and was indicating with rough cuts. I replaced at that time. |

On December 12th the acrylic blast gate’s slider was stuck in a partially open position. So that gate was replaced with one of the original steel sliders locked in the closed position. As documented in the shop log, that acrylic blast gate was installed on 8/19/2023 to replace the one that was reported to have failed on the 18th. Unlike the earlier (unrepairable) failure, which had a broken motor brush, the latest (repairable) failure was apparently caused by dust/debris accumulation interrupting motor current flow through the actuator carriage brushes. There was a surprising amount of dust accumulation inside the acrylic housing/mount for that COTS linear actuator! |

The crosscut blade was replaced with a combination blade (reportedly still the shop's policy). The nut seemed overtightened again to both Nels and me! Since it was one of those undersized (250mm) Freud blades (which were supposed to be going away) the brake cartridge needed to be adjusted to install a proper 10-inch (254mm) blade. The shop's Allen wrenches with the rounded tips have a tendency to slip and are probably causing more wear on the hex heads of the adjustment bolts than wrenches with straight tips would. |

The automatic blast gate mechanism could not close the gate reliably, so it was removed. The gate was left open since measurements confirmed that doing so has little impact on overall system performance. |

Use was cutting S3S mahogany board , but it was warped and I believe had alot of internal stresses that caused it to close up on the blade as he was cutting it. It tripped the breaker. After freeing the board from the blade and resetting the breaker, I explained to him what was going on with the board orientation to the fence and base. In a situation like this cutting to half the depth and a second time at full depth works well. I finished the cut for him. |

The laser nozzle was dragged across the the honeycomb tray and left an indetation from approximately the center to the home position. The trough is approximately 1/2″ wide and 2 ft long. The cause of the incursion was a 0.500″ Z adjustment imbedded in a LightBurn job. Because the AutoFocus has been disabled, the tray lifted all the way to the upper endstop of the machine. A quick solution might be to reposition the alighnment pins on the bottom of the front edge of the tray to the upper side and then flip the whole tray over. |

The crosscut sled for Table Saw #2 (the sled with the RED protection bump out at the back) appears to be out-of-alignment. A 2″ x 10″, laying flat, was cut part way through (1/2″) and then flipped over and cut on the opposite side for a tenon. The cuts were not lined up, off by almost a 1/16″ over the 10″ length of cut. |

The blast gate’s fuse was blown because the gate’s slider was obstructed again by debris in the ductwork. Bryan did a great job in Rpt No. 1407 explaining how to fix it. Make sure that the switch on the acrylic mechanism is in the open position before re-connecting the power connector and clear the obstruction before enabling the gate to close. There's a suitable 12V power supply in the zip lock bag with the spare fuses in bench room's upper dust collector drawer. Bryan and I had to temporarily move the blast gate controller to clear the obstruction with a putty knife inserted into the back of the blast gate slot with the gate open and Dust Collector on. That blast gate needs to be moved or this will keep happening! |

Previous entry for the #1 ICS Industrial saw regarding a brake activation with dado set was actually on the #1 PCS saw. I went in this morning and was able to pry the dado set and fired brake out on the saw. The force of this activation was such that the brake was actually bent and had to pry the blades/chippers off one at a time.
NOTE: the miter gage used was all metal and one I have not seen before. When riding on the miter slot the edge of the gage actually would not clear the closest dado blade. Suggest every shift supervisor check the setup anytime a member or class is to use a miter gage. Check for proper setup and clearance. The rule of thumb is that no metal part of any miter or jig come closer that the width of your thumb to the blade. |

You can feel the difference in the remaining grit on the belt between the center of the belt and the edges of the belt; the center is worn down.
Also, I don't believe the depth stop is set to prevent the drum from being adjusted down onto the belt. Same with M11. |

1. Adjusted the infeed table to be a little lower, making the depth of cut about 1/32″, in response to a complaint of cutting depth too small.
2. Earlier this week I had adjusted the outfeed table slightly higher to make flatness of the jointed wood better. Today I adjusted it slightly down, since wood was slightly impinging on the front edge of the outfeed table.
3. Finished rotating the cutter chips 90 deg clockwise, for rows marked #1 and #2. Still have to do the same for rows #3 and #4.

Problem was the shaft-pulley key came out. There is no set screw in the pulley that holds the key and shaft in place. Used Loctite as a fix. If it happens again will have to get the pully drilled and tapped for set screw |

The problem with lack of power comes from the loss of the key that ties the upper sheave to the cutterhead shaft. (An operator recalls hearing a metallic noise when the jointer stopped working.) Replacing the key has solved this problem.

Was unable to reproduce material feed problem cited in Rpt. No. 1458 after doing so (didn't try before.)
Disconnected the automatic blast gate's stepper motor to make it easier for users to manually operate the gate. Added a note to the planer's power switch to inform users that the gate needs to be manually operated. |

Issues with the blade elevation gearing. DO NOT LOWER THE BLADE TO THE VERY BOTTOM STOP. IT WILL JAM IN THAT POSITION. Will speak to SawStop tech support on Wednesday to further investigate. Lou and I thoroughly cleaned and lubed the blade elevation gearing this AM and while it is better, it is still not right. Lowering to the very bottom is too far. Leave the blade just peaking out at the top to be sure. |

The blast gate was not moving, even in manual mode. Jerry M. pointed out that the fuse was probably blown due to an obstruction in the blast gate path and showed us where the replacement fuses are kept. Replaced the fuse with the manual switch in the open position. When we moved the switch to the close position, the gate started moving then the fuse blew again, meaning an obstruction. Opened the end of the blast gate and could see two pieces of wood blocking the gates path. Removed the obstructions with a putty knife, reassembled the gate, replaced the fuse (again), and everything is back to normal. |

Inspection revealed that the bearing in the locking mechanism actuator arm was frozen, making locking more difficult. Cleaning and lubrication improved that somewhat, but bearing/actuator arm replacement will likely be necessary for further improvement. The lift leadscrew and guide rails were cleaned and lubricated. The cast iron top is starting to rust and should probably be cleaned up and waxed/protected ASAP. |

The planer has been moved to a location where there is no longer a 30 Amp circuit to properly support it's 5 HP motor. So, it's currently connected to a 20 Amp circuit breaker that hopefully will allow it's use for light cuts (<1/32"). The circuit breaker is in the upper left-hand corner of the E service panel. Please make a log entry if it needs to be reset (and when it tripped - power turn on, cutting, etc.) The blast gate is currently manually operated too. |

Jerry and I replaced the damaged arm on the compound miter saw and made adjustments for the stops and squared the saw up. We did not reattach the bevel release lever yet, to allow the loctite to cure on the nuts and bolts. I will do that this week, Saturday at the latest.
Note, test cuts reveal that when sliding the saw blade through the cut as is taught, the blade does not travel in a straight line. At the end of the cut, a gap is visably evident between the piece and the saw blade at the point of cut closest to the operator. However when making a plunge cut the cut is square. |

The collect nut appears to be cross-threaded. When changing bits Darry Lester noticed the nut felt like it had gravel in it when hand-tightening it. Darry tried unsuccessfully to start it square but did not want to force it. If the nut is started and then the spindle is turned manually, you can see the top of the nut wobble, i.e. it is not on correctly. |

The blast gate is not working correctly. The blast gate opened when the saw was turned on but part way through the cut the blast gate closed. I did a manual override and opened the gate while the cut was continuing and a little farther along the gate closed again.

Responding to Larry's log that the fence is not square with the blade. Using the miter slot as a reference, table saw #1 fence has a slight toe out measuring ~1mm across the full length of the table.
In comparison, table saw #2 fence has ~.5mm toe out.
I don't think either is bad, some people prefer a slight toe out to minimize potential binding and kickback. So it is not critical and Duane can adjust them both into alignment with no toe out when he has the chance. |

The blade elevation mechanism gets stuck when the saw blade is lowered below the throat plate. With a lot of force applied it makes a clunking sound, then after lowering a little resulting in another clunking sound, it can be raised. Something is jamming in the mechanism, it sounds like something is bent. I left the saw blade elevated about 1/4 inch above the throat plate, from which it can be raised without difficulty. |

Saw #2 stopped operating because of a problem with the on/off switch cutting out. This happened earlier today apparently and the problem was addressed by Duane Kuperus but the problem resurfaced during the evening session. I put the tool out of service until the problem is resolved. |

Called SawStop Tech support. They suggested I remove side cover from paddle switch and re-tension paddle spring-bar. Performed that and saw restarted once. Second restart failed. This time the indication light was to “replace brake”. I replaced brake and the saw started. Started/stopped saw 6 times with no further issues. Made several rip cuts with no problems. Called SawStop and informed result. They will send new brake cartridge. Old cartridge is marked “Possible Defect” and returned to table saw cabinet. |

The saw seems to have startup issues but nothing is obviously wrong with it. Sometimes the blade does not start up on Power On but no red lights. Other times, it spins for a couple of seconds and then coasts to a stop. No material was touching it, and it wasn't touching the cartridge. Sometimes red and green lights flash simultaneously. I believe it's possessed. Not sure when this started, sometime Sunday. |

Re reports of clogging and accumulation of chips in the 12″ jointer, this is likely due to lack of operation of the newly installed automated blast gate. For now the blast gate will be operable only manually. A sign has been put up noting this.
Regarding the log entry that the depth of cut was “extremely low”, I verified that the cut depth is close to 1/32″, the agreed depth. For some work this may be a bit small, but for the face of a 12″ hardwood board it is all many members would be comfortable pushing through. |

It was pointed out that the blade was not perpendicular to the bed of the saw. Released the bevel lever, adjusted the angle to 90 degrees, and tightened the bevel lever. May not hold since it must be very close to the detent. If there is some other adjustment that allows adjustment to 90 degrees while the saw is in the detent, I would suggest doing it. |

On Saturday, I found that the #1 saw blade elevation would chatter at the lower limit once the blade was lowered all the way. As I recall it would just normally stop there with little effort. Now it chatters at the lowest position. It raises and lowers the blade AOK. When lowered the blade is just below the table saw surface as it is supposed to be. I inspected the saw yesterday and the gears seem to be fine. Again the gears chatter when lowered all the way.
I called SawStop tech support and they said that if the gears are clean and lubed (which they are), this is not an issue but should be used carefully as to not cause premature wear and tear of the gears. When raising the blade the bevel gears pull together as designed and when lowering the gears are pushed away from each other.
Note to all to make sure and observe for proper use by members during saw use. This will be problematic is misused. Returned to normal service with note to all to be aware of this and monitor users. |

It sounds like the power switch was set to 9:00 (to clean the filter) rather than 3:00 (to operate when tools get turned on). The tool(s) should also be plugged into the yellow power outlet strip that's plugged into the outlet next to the extractor's switch. The extractor's power cord also needs to be plugged into one of the 115V outlet boxes mounted on the wall. The switch should be stay in the 3:00 position (tape it?), the turn-of power delay is normal. |

I suspect that the arcing reported in Rpt. 1195 was caused by a poor electrical connection between the plug and receptacle. Cleaning the arc residue (carbon?) off of the plug and receptacle contacts with a file was successful in preventing further arcing. To help maintain adequate contact until the receptacle gets replaced (and thereafter?), mechanical restraints were used to minimize plug backout and wiggle at the receptacle. |

Skip Florey and I noticed Saw #2 (closer to dust collector) is spewing tons of dust on every cut. We checked the hose inside and saw a few pieces of wood but no obvious blockage. Skip examnined the intake at the top of the saw and was able to feel air flow and no blockage. The automated blast gate was open as we'd expect too. Yet, the blowing dust continues. Perhaps it's just a windy day but is seems odd and wanted to make a note of it. |

Rpt no. 1,158 says: “General 20″ Planer is making more noise than usual when it comes up to full speed. It's not screaming, but more sounds like a light cut would sound like.” That has happened before (Rpt Nos. 952 and 936) when the dust collector passage in the cutter head casting had gunk/sap buildup (which was a PITA to clean off!) Before cleaning, the added noise decreased as the number of open blast gates increased and disappeared entirely when the dust collector was off. If that's the case again, it's annoying and disturbing, but probably nothing to be too concerned about. Assuming that's the case again, I'll check it out Saturday unless someone reports that it's not or has other problems. |

Yesterday, after Dana replaced the blade side guard ceramics, I measured the startup current/power draw. There was little change from the January measurements. The 20 Amp circuit breaker, connector, and 12 AWG cable is barely adequate for that 5 HP motor. So, it's not too surprising that the breaker will trip occasionally on startup. Everything should probably be upgraded to 30 Amps when feasible. |

Someone apparently decided that the well-established minimum workpiece length shown on the laminated usage placard should be changed from 8″ to 12″ and defaced it accordingly. That understandably caused confusion for a member today. The placard needs to be fixed or replaced…..
Also, the recently added Digital Readout Out (DRO) (Shop Log Rpt. No. 1123) needed to be reset today. If that's not done properly, it won't work properly. Please let me know if you think it's not working right before attempting to fix it.

A digital ruler/readout was added to the 20″ planer yesterday. It's basically a mounted digital caliper with a remote readout. It can be used to set the cut depths as shown in this planer safety video from BARN – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R70HWHFSmr0. (But it would be better to check the thickness of both ends of the workpiece and set the initial DRO reading to the thickest.) A quick check indicates that should place the cutters safely about 1/64″ above the thickest end of the workpiece for the first pass. Re-calibration shouldn't be required unless the protected “ZERO” switch gets pressed (or the batteries get drained/removed). Hopefully I'll be able to reduce the reading error somewhat. |

Checked blade angles as requested – and I could not find anything that needed adjustment. The rotating platform is slightly dished down in its center, so it can look like the blade is tilted vertically, but if you measure the other side, it looks tilted in the opposite direction. Also checked the angle stop settings – 90 deg measures perfect, and a 4-miter test frame had a slight gap, but perfectly acceptable (in my opinion) for a chop saw. |

The broken blade was replaced. The makeshift wooden chip catcher had apparently broken and been “repaired” with blue tape. That might have been what caused the blade to break, so it wasn't “repaired” again and reinstalled. The bottom cabinet might need more frequent cleaning until a replacement is installed. The starting thread on the fence locking bolt was cleaned up to make it easier to thread into the fence. It only needs to be loosened (not removed) to move/remove the fence. |

User reported following issue: unable to get a satisfactory “first layer calibration” on the 3d
printer. Initially the test pattern was extremely thin and there seemed
to be no response to calibration adjustments. On additional tries, the
calibration readout changed from .9xxx to -.0xx and the head was not
close enough to the bed to get a bond, and again the head did not seem
to respond to calibration adjustments. Somewhere in my repeated tries, I
got the message that the self test failed. I did not see anything
obviously wrong so rebooted and tried again. Again unsuccessfully. |

The automatic blast gate has been temporarily returned to manual operation. I piece of wood in the ductwork had apparently prevented the automated gate's slider from fully closing – which likely broke the actuator's acrylic carriage adapter. The slider remaining in the nearly closed position, in addition to long thin strips of wood in the saw's internal ductwork, probably caused that ductwork to get clogged. Since the clog consisted mostly of wood savings, the saw blade was replaced with an obviously re-sharpened one (with protective wax). |

Disassembled saw blade elevation gear and lock. Removed elevation control shaft and replaced worn lock key. Reassembled and greased/cleaned parts. Suggest that locking knobs no longer be used at all for both elevation and tilt wheels. At the very least we should instruct all operators to make sure the lock knobs are loose prior to positioning (elevation/tilt) the blade. I spoke to SawStop tech support and they said that using the locks really does not help. The key was worn due to operation of the elevation handwheel with lock knob tightened. Not the correct operation. |

The router in the cast iron router table was dropping when rounding sapele edges during yesterday's Introduction to Woodworking class. The lift manual (https://incra.com/manuals/MastRLiftII_Manual.pdf) says “If the bit height ever begins to change (or drop) during use, the thread tensioning likely needs to be reset.”

The most accurate combination squares that could be found in the shop were placed on the tool wall. The combination squares in the education toolbox aren't too bad either. The Bridge City Miter Squares seemed accurate in a quicky test, so they weren't adjusted (it's not clear that they can be anyway.) |

Cast iron router table lift. Cleaned and dry-lubed the height adjustment leadscrew and guide rails. Installed the setscrew that was missing from the knurled nut that's used to release the clamping force on the router body. Rotated the router so the speed control is accessible from the front rather than the back. Lowered the router in the lift to enable the use of longer router bits. The router now seems to run at maximum speed (based on sound) regardless of the setting. That should be 21,000 RPM which is appropriate for all but the largest router bits – unless the manufacturer recommends a lower speed. |

I was unable to reproduce the reported strange noise issue. The belt tension was good and there was no indication of loose tensioning nuts. Thoroughly cleaned the cutter head casting air passages. Gunk buildup there may have been the cause – as was reported in the past. Associated audio files were sent previously to the shift supervisors via the “Shift Supervisors Discussions.” If something like this recurs, it would be helpful to record some audio/video and share it with me. Gunk was removed from the cutters, cutter head, tables, and rollers. Tables and their rollers were waxed. A member did quite a bit of planing hard maple today with no signs of problems. |

There were no delayed startups in more than 25 attempts yesterday, so the concerns expressed in Report No. 930 seem OBE. (The centrifugal switch “learned”?) I had to scrape the gunk buildup from the inside or the cutterhead casting to eliminate some nasty noise when the blast gate was open with the dust collector on. The noise was loudest when the other machine blast gates were closed. Apparently pitchy/sappy wood is still being planed despite the prohibitions on the machine's usage placard. Gunk was also cleaned off the table rollers before they and the table/extensions were cleaned and waxed.
Apparently the prohibition on machining finished wood in the shop is also either unknown or is being ignored, because it can often be found in the scrap wood box under the miter saw.

The boost transformer is fine and was re-wired to provide a 12V boost, (rather than the previous 24V) to better match the motor's 220V rating. The conventional (mechanical) centrifugal switch was apparently not working properly and was blowing up motor capacitors. It was replaced with an electronic centrifugal switch to keep that from recurring. Unlike conventional centrifugal switches, that switch doesn't re-connect the start capacitor when the motor slows down after power off. So, it avoids the usual detrimental and disturbing motor current surge (and resulting thump) at the expense of taking longer for the motor to slow to a stop. Also, the new switch occasionally screws up and prematurely disconnects the start capacitor during start up. That significantly increases the time it takes the motor to reach full speed. As with other the machines (like the bandsaws) it's important that users don't start cutting until they hear that the motor has reached full operating speed. I'm calling this “Limited Functionality” until everyone (at least all supervisors) are aware of this. |

Yesterday the #2 PCS had a brake actuation while cutting some MDF. The MDF had been used for a laser project and the edge being run through the saw had carbon residue in it. Carbon is conductive so the saw tripped. I suggest add that to your list of items (conductive material) that can cause a brake trip event. If some asks to trim material that has been used in the laser room, make sure and inspect. If it has carbon residue on the edge to be trimmed or could come in contact with the blade while being cut, so not allow. |

Robert Hacker had several instances of the lathe turning off while doing some inside cutting on a ~5 inch “soft wood” bowl. The motor felt like room temperature and would start-up normally again without delay. Mary agreed that changing the speed back to 0-1500 RPM from 0-3000 RPM (doubling the available torque) might help. Robert did that after cleaning up and said that he'd see if it helps or not on Thursday. |

There are a couple issues:
-I was now able to turn on the lathe, but per Jon Adams after a bit it shuts off.
-The breaker is labeled E 29/31 but the panel for those positions is scratched out and positions E 33/35 is labeled “lathe”.
-The drop down tool selection list also needs editing for lathes. Need to add Lathe #3, #4, and Robust, remove superfluous lathe names. |

When installing the dado stack for today's Intro to Woodworking Class it was necessary to increase the gap between the stack and cartridge quite a bit. Then, when the apparently brand-new 10 inch(?) blade was re-installed, the gap between the blade and cartridge could not be decreased to the recommended value – but it still could pass the saw's self-test. Both installs required seemingly excess force on the cartridge retaining mechanism/lever to pass the saw's self-tests. Are we still using combo blades on both table saws? |

SawStop safety brake fired. No injuries. Bruce Bechard was using a miter guage with a spacing block to keep the blade away from the miter frame. Block was a tiny bit to narrow. The saw blade just nicked the metal frame and fired the brake. I tried to remove the brake & blade combination but was not successful. Table saw is marked as Out of Service.

Using 1/4″ collet and small roundover bit set and locked in place, tested OK. When actually routing the bit seemed to raise up and create a shoulder in the work piece. Re-examined setup, retested, it seemed OK, but then it seem to raise up again even though it was lockede. Decided to set up the other router table, noted at that time that the 1/4″ collet that was in use on the INCRA was broken. Left on Dallas's desk. Not sure if it was a collet issue or not. Each time we rechecked the bit height it seemed OK, but in use would raise up and give us a shoulder on the cut. Other table working great but we are using a different collet. |

The fuses in all but the Jet drum sander's acrylic electric blast mechanisms were replaced with 250mA time delay fuses to help avoid future premature failures. Now they should only fail/blow if something (an obstruction or actuator/motor failure) prevents the actuator from fully opening or closing the blast gate. The spare fuses in the dust collector parts drawer were also replaced.
A labeled blocking device was installed on the SawStop PCS's fully automated gate to prevent members from using the bypass switch to operate it (as they do on the switch operated 20″ planer and Supermax drum sander). It can be easily moved temporarily to operate the gate to test dust collection and removed if necessary to bypass the controller if it should fail. |

Upon arrival, the automated blast gate on SawStop PCS had failed in the almost closed (within ~ 1″) position. Replacing the blown fuse didn't help because it blew immediately when the controller was connected (and tried to finish closing the gate). Removing the mechanism revealed that a small chip of wood (seemingly about 1/8″T X 3/4″W X 1″L) was preventing the gate's slider from fully closing. That chip was cleared when the dust collector was turned on for shop operations. After again replacing its fuse, the automated mechanism was re-installed and successfully tested. |

The planer feed rate has been changed from 20 ft/min to 16 ft/min. A PVC sleeve was placed on the speed control lever to prevent it from moving inward (changing the feed rate).

For convenience, here's a copy of my October 24th Oneida Dust Collector Shop Log entry:
Yesterday the automatic blast gate mechanism on the SawStop PCS blast gate was replaced with a faster one. It now takes ~2 seconds to fully open rather than the ~5 seconds that the previous version required. Now there's also a switch on the mechanism's acrylic housing that enables the gate to be opened and closed without turning the saw on. That makes it possible to safely check for proper airflow when the internal dust chute is checked for obstructions and proper configuration (i.e. that blade access door is closed on the ICS.) That switch can also be used to open and close the gate if the automatic controller fails. But, depending on the failure state, it's possible that the position of the switch's toggle might be reversed from the labeling on the acrylic housing. Nevertheless the red LED will still light whenever the gate is opening or open. |

The smaller dust collection hose came apart at the black coupler. It was (and is) connected with zip ties. I reattached the hose (twice) but it may not hold. Having a longer end on the threaded side would allow the use of a radiator clamp, like on the opposite side. I would think a new adaptor could be made on the 3D printer.
Storing the slab flattening jig behind the miter saw is not doing the miter saw any favors. Perhaps the miter saw cabinet could be pulled out from the wall a little more to make room for the jig. |

The feed speed control knob was removed yesterday to hopefully prevent recurrence of incidents like that reported in Rpts. 715 and 716. The knob was pushed in before doing so to set the feed speed to 20 FPM. Jim Strawn said that Palomar has also done this.
Actuator motor current measurements were also performed to determine why the mechanism's fuse blew Saturday as detailed in Rpts. 722 and 724. Unfortunately, actuator current draw data is not available at the time of failure, so those measurements and a visual inspection were all that is available for the failure analysis – both suggested a defective fuse. Using current limiting drivers to control the actuator motors should provide adequate protection with higher rated and/or self-resetting fuses. Having logged current data available for maintenance and any future failure analyses would be invaluable. Hopefully the blast gate automation team will decide that implementing these recommendations is worth the effort!

The saw is working correctly. For the Intro class, we set it up with a Dado stack and used the first Dado cartridge we found in the cabinet. The saw light remained at solid red using that cartridge. We switched to the other cartridge and that one is working fine. I have bagged and tagged the suspect cartridge and put it back in the Dado cabinet. Not sure if it's operator error, or if the cartridge can be repaired. |

In Shop Log Rpt. 722 Nancy reported that the switch operated blast gate mechanism had failed in the open position. She also said that its “OPEN” light wasn't illuminated, that its power plug looked properly mated, and that the automatic blast gate on the Jet drum sander (which shares the 12 Volt power supply) was still working. To restore operation Skip changed the mechanism's fuse with one of the spares in the right front of the top drawer inside the “Dust Collection” cabinet in the bench room. |

The SawStop closest to the back door had it's dust hose fully clogged and not hooked up to the dust collector. Skip Florey noticed this as he was covered in dust after doing a cut. We worked to clear the hose and reattach it – not sure if it popped off because of the clog. Later today when it's less busy I will clean out the built up sawdust in the cabinet. |

Mary said that the planer's circuit breaker in the shop's service planer had apparently tripped upon turn on and it made a very loud noise screechy sound as it did so. She took it out of service to protect against any potential additional damage to the machine. It turns out that nothing remaining in the machine was obstructing the cutter head, so the drive belts were removed to verify that the head's bearings were good and that the motor itself was ok (i.e. drawing the expected amount of current and sounding good.) The chain guard was removed to see what was keeping the drive rollers from turning freely with the cutter head. Things looked ok there but it was possible to free up the the drive rollers by pulling the speed feed control knob into its neutral position. The belts were reinstalled to verify that the motor current draw when driving just the cutter head was ok. Then current draws were measured as the feed speed control knob was moved to the slow (full outward for 16 FPM), neutral (middle for 0 FPM) and fast (full inward for 20 FPM) positions. Both currents and sounds were good so, with Edward's gracious help, everything was cleaned (including the latest batch of gunk on the cutter head), reassembled, and tested. It has been returned to service at the 20 FPM feed-rate.
So, what happened? If it was available, machine current draw data at the time(s) of the incident(s) would have made this theory more accurate. Without that, my best guess is that somehow the feed knob moved from it's normal fast position (to help prevent problems if it got bumped) to a position where it locked up the gears in the gearbox. That probably could only have happened if the knob was moved when the machine was not running (which should never happen.) Locked gears in the gearbox would prevent the cutter head from turning which would cause the motor's drive belts to slip (and screech) while causing the motor to draw excessive current and trip the circuit breaker. |

Yesterday the automatic blast gate mechanism on the SawStop PCS blast gate was replaced with a faster one. It now takes ~2 seconds to fully open rather than the ~5 seconds that the previous version required. Now there's also a switch on the mechanism's acrylic housing that enables the gate to be opened and closed without turning the saw on. That makes it possible to safely check for proper airflow when the internal dust chute is checked for obstructions and proper configuration (i.e. that blade access door is closed on the ICS.) That switch can also be used to open and close the gate if the automatic controller fails. But, depending on the failure state, it's possible that the position of the switch's toggle might be reversed from the labeling on the acrylic housing. Nevertheless the red LED will still light whenever the gate is opening or open. |

A member dropped the arbor nut into the dust shroud. In getting the nut I found the dust pipe inside the saw was completely packed with sawdust, which I cleaned out. I tried to check the rest of the pipe between the saw and the blast gate, but I couldn't get the saw end free due to the outfeed table. I couldn't find any other way to test whether the air flow was satisfactory. It would be a good idea to check that dust pipe. Left the tool in service. |

The blast gate on the 20″ planer was a PITA because it would open when the dust collector was off unless the locking knob/screw engaged the slider enough to keep it closed. That made it hard to open without being temporarily loosened. So, I replaced the slider with an electrical mechanism to hopefully make things easier. Now, there's a small toggle switch on that mechanism's acrylic housing that is used to open and close the gate. Moving the switch's toggle away from the gate opens it (and lights the red light while/after doing so). Moving it towards the gate closes the gate and turns the red light off.
It's expected that these mechanisms will eventually be installed on all the shop's blast gates, so it makes sense to exercise them as much as possible to validate their design and implementation. Hopefully that will also ease users' transition to fully automated blast gates when that design is completed and implemented.
It's expected that ~ 3X faster versions of the mechanisms will be installed on those machines that require it. |

Re report 647: The gauge mounted to the Oneida frame measures exhaust backpressure. So, ideally it would show 0 Inches-WG when all of the blast gates are either closed or open (i.e. when airflow is either minimized, maximized, or somewhere in-between.) That would maximize performance (suction and airflow) at the machine dust ports. When there is no airflow, the Oneida can provide about 13 Inches-WG static pressure (suction) at its input. At full airflow (about 2400 CFM) that static pressure is reduced to 0. |

The latest (laser cut acrylic) automatic blast gate mechanism was installed on the Jet drum sander using the legacy controller approach. (A 12V 1A power supply with current sensing switch driving a DPDT relay which controls the actuator.) A counter was added to keep track of the number of actuations. The exhaust backpressure meter mounted on the Oneida's frame now reads ~0.2 INCHES W.C. when all gates are properly closed and the roof's exhaust screen isn't clogged. It will increase when as gates get opened and/or the screen gets clogged. |

Both router tables now have identical Incra lifts and Porter Cable 7518 “3 1/4 Peak HP” routers. So, yesterday I removed the collets from both, lowered the routers to about 1 inch below the table tops, installed steel rings with the most commonly used steel rings (5/8″ I think), and used clamp-on current meters to monitor current draws as they ran at maximum speed. The manual says this about operating speeds: “Model 7518: Maximum bit capacity is 3-1/2″ when used in a table or machining station, and 2-1/2″ when hand-held. Keep speed at 10,000 RPM when using bits larger than 3″, and no higher than 13,000 RPM when using bits from 2-1/2″ to 3” “. The speed options are 10,000, 13,000, 16,000, 19,000, and 21,000 RPM (slider left to right respectively as mounted in the tables.) IMO 21,000 RPM is the best speed to use for bits 1” and smaller and it's best to use the maximum speed recommendations from the manufacturer for larger bits.
After running for about 1/2 hour with the dust collector off, thermocouples clamped between the steel rings and lift plates (by the magnets) indicated 153 and 164 degrees F for the phenolic and cast iron router tables (#2 & #1?) respectively. Currents measured 6.8 and 6.4 Amps respectively. (The rated router current draw is 15 Amps.) In addition to operating time, it's the airflow from the router shaft mounted cooling fans that's causing the plate heating (and a lot of noise). So anything that impacts that will have some impact on how hot the routers, lift plates, and cast iron top gets. IMO there's nothing wrong with the routers, but water cooled HF Spindles/VFDs would be a much cooler and quieter approach. 😉 |

Replaced the 30 Amp circuit breaker in the shop's service panel. Easily cleaned some pitch off the outfeed table and bed rollers with acetone and a rag – waxed appropriate surfaces. Cleaned feed rollers in a similar manner and lubricated their bushings. Ran successively more aggressive cuts on 2X12X96 Douglas fir. Managed to trip the new breaker at 96 Amps on the high feed rate (20 fpm) exactly half way through planing 3/32″ deep (1.5 turns) – it was easy to hear the motor struggling and likely eventually stalling. The planer's motor overload protector did not trip. Nothing tripped at the low feed rate (16 fpm) in the previous run with the same DOC (it peaked at about 35 Amps). IMO that's really impressive performance and I doubt there will be any more problems – at least until something degrades. Kind of handy that the breaker in the service panel trips before the planer's overload protector since it's a lot easier to reset! 🙂 |

Gerald, I talked to Mark Umphries who was the person cutting the oak tongue and groove. He was taking stepped cuts and is thinking it is something else that is creating the heat. It may be the router. He also wanted to adjust the speed but the speeds are not clear on the slide switch the speeds. Could we come up with a simple instructions note based on the instruction manual and post it on the router by the speed slide switches on both routers. Rick |

The planer's circuit breaker was replaced. It didn't trip after multiple rapid successive aggressive (15-18 Amp current draw) passes on a 57 inch long 2X4. Replacing the circuit breaker seems to have fixed the (apparent circuit breaker over-heating and tripping) problem. With brand new cutters it should work like new again! |

Must ensure when using router to match router size with correct speed setting to ensure not to over heat router motor. Also on large cuts be sure to make several passes especially on harder wood. This will ensure smoother cut and prolong the router motor and cutting bits life. |

The 30 Amp circuit breaker in the shop's service panel is apparently defective. It has been tripping even though the planer's 22.5 Amp motor protection device hasn't. Running unloaded at the low feed rate last night, the planer drew 4.8 Amps from 206 V with a power factor of 0.85 (840 Watts). That's less than the 13″ planer! |

The new circuit breaker should arrive tomorrow and will be installed Thursday. |

Someone put a knob on the upper hinged housing that makes it easy to open. Even though there's no latch to keep it closed, the dust collection hose/connection does. The blast gate was opened and locked in that position with both the original and an additional locking knob to hopefully discourage folks from closing it. It's “back in service” IMO. |

A prototype automatic aluminum & plastic blast gate mechanism was installed on the SawStop PCS with the previously installed prototype controller (@ 59 hours on its meter). A 200 mA fast blow fuse was added to the controller to protect the mechanism's motor from damage in the (hopefully unlikely) event of failure.
The damaged plastic slider on the 13″ planer's blast gate (which was installed last week) was replaced with it's original repaired/upgraded steel slider. The problematic steel slider dimple that could get wedged in the slider slot was drilled out and replaced with a socket head screw and nylock nut to limit travel without getting wedged. Minor protrusions at the slider's exposed angled corners (catch points) were pounded out.

Boneheaded maneuver of the year… I normally wheel the dust collector barrels down to the dumpsters on their dolly. I discovered if you park that dolly in front of the roll-up door and go to get assistance, there is just enough slope in the floor to allow them to run away down into the parking lot. Which it did – extremely fortunately not hitting any vehicles. The barrels careened over the curb into the canyon, and one of the wheels was ripped off the dolly.
I fully expect the video to be shown in the highlights reel at some future gathering – including my face-plant in the parking lot running after the run-away barrels. Maybe I should resign immediately… |

Discovered that you cannot use the 45 deg bevel setting – tilting the head. While you can tilt the head that much (either direction) there is not enough clearance over the OEM fence pieces to allow a cut to be made. The upper pieces of those fences are designed to be removable, but when we mounted the saw in our extended table, we blocked those pieces from being taken out. We used the table saw instead. Don't know if we want to modify the extended table to allow those bevel cuts. |

The saw couldn't start (and wheels wouldn't turn) because the blade had slipped out its lower left guide and was binding on the lower thrust guide/bearing. All guides were adjusted in an attempt to prevent recurrence. Apparently those large diameter side blade guides aren't well suited for 1/4″ blades (the manual recommends 10-20 mm blades)! 😉 |

The upper rear blade guide was found to be 1/8″ behind the blade at the start of “my” shift yesterday afternoon. Loosening the rear guide clamp screw allowed it to be moved with some light tapping from the rear (after ensuring that the blade guard height adjustment locking knob was tight). A slight rotation (with pliers) prevented the guide from moving away from the rear of the blade when the clamp screw was re-tightened. |

Blade was forward of the guides and thrust bearing on both the top and bottom. Pat Duffy adjusted the top wheel so the blade is more centered on the tire and in the guides. I moved the bottom thrust bearing forward (maybe be temporary). Pat feels the bottom wheel should be adjusted so the blade rides closer to the center of the tire. This would probably require the bottom thrust bearing to be re-adjusted.
Have no idea was caused the blade to be so far out of the guides (at least 1/4″). |

Spoke to Matt Evans and he said the saw tripped on overload. Reset thermal and saw is OK. He said he was not sure of the red light was flashing slow or fast. The wood being sawed was ~2″ thick “eucalyptus gum” and the saw could have indicated the wood was wet or just too heavy. Will inquire with SawStop. This overload could have b been caused by wet wood close to the trip point. CAUTION NEEDS TO BE USED WITH ANY/ALL RECLAIMED WOOD! When in doubt, test the wood. I think the user dodged one here. |

Rick mentioned that were are going to start monitoring the pressure in the DC system. Note that the reading on the pressure meter varies with the number of open gates. With several blast gates open, the reading was 2.5″. With all gates closed that can be closed, the reading was 1.5″. I also noticed that the fill monitor seems to have become much more sensitive. It started flashing at about 2/3 full – which may be OK in some cases, but I was waiting until the end of the shift to empty it. |

Busy day in the Shop! I've ended up cultivating people who come in on my shift and want help. More than one of those at a time is challenging…
One member was milling LOTS of rough lumber – extensive use of the jointer and planer. The dust collector barrels were about 1/3 full at the beginning; I emptied them twice today. I knew it was filling up, and I was monitoring the barrels, but the first time the red alarm light did not detect the light, fluffy shavings until the barrel was actually a little bit over-full. The second time, the alarm light did go off. I think that sawdust from other machines tends to be more dense than the shavings from the jointer and planer.
Replaced the battery in the classroom clock. And used the metal detector for the first time – it's very sensitive. It seemed to be detecting metal in the bench underneath the boards being scanned. Elevating the boards a couple inches off the bench worked better. Plus I would get a spurious alarm when first placing the detector on the board. |

The gunk buildup on the cutter-head, cutters, bed, and rollers was far worse than the last time! I used a chisel and acetone with a trimmed acid brush and rage to clean it all off. Acetone dissolved whatever it was (pitch or sap?) quite well but it still took several hours to clean and wax everything. I sure hope this doesn't continue!! |

The wheels required excessive force to turn. Reducing the drive belt tension seemed necessary at first, but adjusting and tightening the blade guides after that was also necessary to restore normal operation. But, I don't have a warm fuzzy feeling, so IMO shift supervisors should check it before each shift to ensure that it's OK and we don't burn up its new motor. |

The riving knife is not in line with the blade, it is skewed from leading edge to the back edge. If you place a straight edge along the blade and the riving knife, the back edge of the riving knife is kicked out almost 1/4″. It has been reseated several times and has been checked for being flat (not bent). I believe the fix is to loosen the two large hex bolts to the left and straighten the entire block that holds the riving knife. No idea how it may have come to be not inline with the blade.
Never mind. Edward Skinner fixed the problem (by the method suggested above).

Mostly a quiet shop day – good to be back open again! Three members in the tool room, no digital tool users.
I did have one issue with Ken Goodsell. I was helping him with his box joint fixture – which he had used here before. I cautioned him earlier about getting too close to the cutter when brushing away chips and sawdust. But on the very last cut, the spinning router bit nicked his fingertip. This resulted in a minor injury – requiring first aid. Band-Aids sufficed to fix him up. I guess I'll have to be a little more adamant about staying 3 inches away from a blade at all times. |

From Tom Verburgt tom@verburgt.com. Odd behavior on the laser it would skip areas where it should etch and etch areas it shouldn't. It would also occasionally jump to a different part of the board etch a small line, then jump back into the raster pattern. I have pictures. I didn't see the same behavior on an older version of the file. Possible something went wrong when editing the file. None of the odd behavior show up in the simulation.

The jointer fences are user-adjustable, so anyone unhappy with the angle is free to change it (just like the blade angle on a tables). Generally, users should leave the fence perpendicular (or far from it, so subsequent users won’t mistake it for perpendicular). I'll check the 90 deg stop tomorrow. |

“Fixed” for the third time today – hopefully “three's a charm” or maybe it's- “three strikes you're out” – time will tell I guess! Yesterday, once power cable/connections were “fixed”, the motor brushes were removed and cleaned along with the brush holder contacts – to again enable enable seemingly (at the time) reliable operation.
Today, the the power cables connectors were squeezed to ensure more reliable connection to their mating terminals. The cable and it's connections were flexed to ensure proper connections. (There was never any indication that the power switch, interlock safety microswitch, or overload circuit breaker were deflective.)
Nitrile O-rings were installed between the brushes and their retention caps to help ensure a good electrical connection between the brush flanges and their holders. Lesson learned – but OEM parts?! I'll install them when they come in. |

Pete: nice summary
Problem : the screw was overtightened in the bit. this screw is not to be tightened. it holds the spring center in the bit. fully tightening this screw, distorts the metal of the spring center and causes it to gall.
Solution: use lock-tight all of these screws in position where the live center works optimal and instruct lathe supervisors to relate this instruction to users. |

Hi All.
Lou and I repaired the blade tilt lock on the #2 PCS saw Saturday. With the lock disengaged it operated stiffly and recommend that the lock not be engaged till such time that it loosens up. With the lock disengaged, the tilt will hold. Still have to repair the bade elevation lock and to be done next week.
If either saw brake actuates and the blade and brake are locked together (most likely), here is the link to a SawStop instructional video on how to remove the blade and brake together. Note that the ONLY appropriate tool to pry the blade and brake out is one of the blade wrenches and never use anything else – i.e. screw driver, prybar, etc. Damage could/would otherwise occur.
https://www.sawstop.com/support/service-tips/professional-cabinet-saw
When the brake and blade are removed, please put in the shop manager's office. :et me or Lou know if you have any questions or comments.

The Oneida dust collector's center fuse blew reportedly during start-up this morning. It was replaced and operating current draws were checked on all three phases. They were normal at ~15A. There are 3 spare fuses (which were available at Home Depot) in the “Dust Collector” cabinet in the “Bench Room”. Meters are in one of the drawers adjacent to the doorway between the Digital Tool Room and Classroom. |

But it does look like a small mammal pulled it apart. 🙂 This means both drum sanders are out of service. Also, we're out of Machine Out of Service signs! |

PCS 300 is now in limited availability. Anyone using this saw should be informed that since the elevation and tilt hand-wheels cannot be locked, that a cut may not be guaranteed as accurate. For a non-tilt rip or crosscut, the blade might climb and may not affect the cut. When using a Dado blade the blade height might decrease. In either case use caution and be aware of this issue. |

Lightburn 09.16 is current rev for Windows user, Admin user is still on trial period. I did not enter renew key for Admin user.
Issue with machine origin is that LB, when loading, was using a compromised “prefs” configuration file that always put machine origin at upper left hand (ULH) corner. Even attempts to modify device settings and set to upper right hand (URH) corner were unsuccessful when saving.
Edits were made to “prefs” configuration file C:\Users\\AppData\Local\LightBurn to delete non applicable ‘prefs XXXX.XXX' files were not successful. Renamed, copied, pasted files, etc etc and still did not take.
Finally, after editing ‘prefs' file and deleting portions of config file, LB when loading, initiated a new device process. We entered bed size, machine origin, and when test files were imported, scans and cuts were previewed, framed and lasered correctly. LB shut down, reopened and reran test, worked correctly with only (1) device setting to choose, with correct bed size and machine origin.
Green is now back in service.

First COVID19 shift went well. As a practical matter, when helping Shop members, I sometimes was within 6′ of them. Especially when working with tools settings and such. Since we are all wearing masks, I wasn't too worried. But after every interaction where we touched the same equipment, I made sure to use the provided hand sanitizer. I also appreciated having the large fan there – I think that air circulation and keeping the roll-up door open is another important COVID19 safety precaution. In addition, this provides cooling as the temps outside get lower towards evening.
Note – we were running out of L/XL gloves on the cart.
I also logged one minor injury – Ken Goodwin skinned his knuckle on the metal pop-up dog in a bench vise. Just required a band-aid. But that brings up an improvement I've made to my vice. I removed the steel dog and replaced it with a same-sized block of hard maple. This modification also eliminates one place when a plane or chisel could get its blade nicked. |

To minimize snipe, “Tighten the two black plastic table height lock knobs on the right of the main table” after adjusting the table height. Be sure to loosen them again before trying to adjust the table height. The use of additional properly adjusted infeed and outfeed workpiece support (via the roller stands) is also necessary with material that extends beyond those on the planer. |

The reported problem with the built-in clamp which secures the work piece has been resolved. The clamp is now set parallel to the fence. Two machine screws attach the clam to its base.To set a different clamp angle (say for a tapered workpiece), use the allen wrench (in the box with the chisels and other mortiser tools). Loosen the lefthand screw (access underneath the clamp base). Set the desired angle and then retighten the screw. The righthand screw serves as the pivot point and does not need to be tightened. |

A member was cutting some 12″ black acacia on the resaw and getting a lot of burned sawdust on top of the workpiece. I think the blade needs to be de-gunked, as there's some sticky stuff around the teeth that may be causing the burning. Maybe there's a lubricant that would help avoid the deposits. |

Update: From report :The banshee sound suggests that something (i.e. an obstruction) is keeping the flap from sealing the floor sweep's opening properly,” Solution: floor sweep has no obstruction, cleaned edges of flap and installed several layers of blue tape as a ‘gasket' material to get a better seal. Tested DC with all blast gates closed, floor sweep flap is sealing better, no noise. Update: blue tape as gasket insufficient as additional blast gates open, changing suction on flap, creates different noises. Will need to install weatherstripping material on flag to get a better seal. For now, a piece of scrap wood is installed in flap, holding it partially open with no squealing. |

My understanding is that current shop policy is that the downdraft table is not to be used for random orbital sander (ROS) dust collection. Instead the dust ports on the ROSs are to be connected to the one of the shop VACs – preferably the Bosch, because it can turn on/off automatically when properly connected. But, for that to work properly all 8 holes in the sanding disks also need to line up with the those in the ROS sanding pads. Yesterday a ROS was sitting on top of the downdraft table with a misaligned sanding disc. Neither its dust port or power plug were connected to the adjacent Bosch shop VAC (or anything else). Maybe we need signs showing how to do this properly to help keep the shop and lungs as clean as possible? |

Leaving the Oneida dust collector's floor sweep (“flap” behind the drill presses) open is equivalent to leaving a 5″ dust port (like those on the 12″ jointer and 20″ planer) and a 4″ port (like those on the other machines) open. So, leaving the floor sweep open is not a good long term solution – the system can't afford the wasted capacity. The banshee sound suggests that something (i.e. an obstruction) is keeping the flap from sealing the floor sweep's opening properly, especially if it still occurs when other blast gates are open. |

When the SawStop spins down the green indicator will flash during the spin down and remain flashing for approximately 2 to 4 seconds after the saw blade stops spinning. Once that post spin down period is over the green indicator light will go back to solid green. If the blade is touched by anything conductive, i.e. tape measure, finger, etc., the brake cartridge will fire. Fortunately the saw was not spinning and the blade had no damage per Bryan's report. A few seconds patience would have prevented this from happening and everyone who uses either SawStop should be cautioned to this aspect. |

Checked the barrels at the start of the shift; they only had a dusting on the bottom of each barrel. There was a lot of planing and sawing going on. Some time later Jerry M. pointed out to me that the red light was flashing. I went over and tapped on each barrel noting that the sound changed below the first ring on the barrel, thus assuming the barrels were no more than 1/3 full. The red light continued to flash. Sometime later Sue (building management) came in to inform me that it was snowing sawdust outside. We went out to take a look and noticed some sawdust on the ground and some flakes coming from the roof (but no one was cutting at the time). She asked us to shut down until the problem was found and corrected. Came inside and asked everyone to stop and then shut down the dust collector. The flex hoses were full of saw dust, as were the barrels. Emptied the barrels, cleaned out the flex hoses, and restarted. Everything appears to be operating as normal. Called Dallas and reported the problem to him. Take away: Tapping on the barrels is NOT an accurate way to access how full they are. If the red light flashes, immediately shut down the system and physically look inside the barrels and empty if necessary. |

Assuming this is the Sawstop with the sliding table. Preston Plumb was using this saw. While using the saw, but the saw was not running, the cartridge fired. I believe, but am not positive, that the blade was spinning down after the saw was powered down when Preston touched the blade with his steel tape. The safety cartridge fired. Preston denies the blade was turning. The saw blade was NOT embedded into the cartridge and the blade was OK. Changed out the cartridge and the saw is back in operation. Old cartridge is on office desk. |

Jim Strawn says that he has a Laguna LT16-3000 Bandsaw in good shape that he's willing to trade for the Agazzani. IMO we should take him up on that offer. |

Larry Szafraniec donated a 100 grit wheel for the right side of the low speed grinder. I installed it today even though both wheels will reportedly soon be replaced new CBN wheels donated by Robert Hacker. |

2020-03-01: The Agazzani bandsaw currently has a self destructive problem that occurs during deceleration when the motor is turned off using either its start or stop switch. That problem can and should be avoided by using high pressure on the foot brake pedal to both shut the motor off and rapidly decelerate the wheels and blade. A blue tape note was temporarily(?) placed on the saw near the stop switch for guidance.. |

Should we change the policy to encourage (maybe require) the use of the brake to turn off the two big bandsaws?
