Mike, When you get the new saw if you still aren't happy with the squaring problem, think hard about upgrading the fence. There are a few very good quality fences on the market and that can make you fall in love with your saw again. ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Baldwin To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 10:30 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] lathe
Thanks for all the great advice with the lathe. Dale, I better hope my wife doesn't see your advice, she might go for it. Only lived here about three years,and the garage is already so full we can't park the van in it. Of course, I haven't told her that my grandma has decided to give me the lathe yet either. I am also getting a table saw, not sure what I will do with two, but mine is pissing me off, can't seem to keep it squared up, and a lot of different clamps, other wood working tools etc. When I get it all, i will have to take inventory of it and let you know what I got.

The best advice I can give you is to immediately package it up and send it to me. ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Baldwin To: blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 10:36 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] lathe hi, I am getting a lathe gave to me. Not sure the make/model, but it has a 3 foot long bed, and knowing my grandpa it was the best money could buy 50-60 years ago. Any tips for a blind person using a lathe? i used one in wood shop in school, but the teacher did the rounding and the shaping, I just got to sand...
