I did a bit of testing today. The saw itself wasn't level, so I leveled it out (using the roller feet to come down to the ground and stay level). It helped a little bit...the difference from the top

I just had another thought.? As an alternative to drilling/tapping 2-3 holes on the side that is highest, drill/tap ONE hole on the other side, on the very top of the fixed part of the hinge.? ?In

If you have a lathe or have access to one you might be able to turn one of the ends of the hinge pin down to correct the angle.? That side will drop by the amount you take off the radius so you will

I also have this problem. It makes my saw almost useless for cutting in the vise. I resort to cutting on the little table whenever possible.

John I think I have unintentionally misled... When I say tube steel, I mean either square or rectangular hollow?tubes, not round. I realize you are referring to round tube, which would be unsupported

The waste material is most stable when pulled back against the fixed jaw while being cut. To sandwich the tube means the waste on the movable jaw side would be unsupported until it got near the middle

Thanks Bruce! I wonder what benefit I’d see if I made a tube?sandwich by placing sacrificial material of about the same height and thickness before and after the stainless tube? Would that

Hi Morgon The saw is not junk, but it is *the *most difficult problem to fix on a 4x6. There are 2 things that must be met for a saw to cut vertically square: 1. The bottom of the workpiece must be

Another technique that I've used on a thin piece of metal tubing that could chip off a tooth or two is to put in a sacrificial piece of something like plywood, aluminum, hardwood, etc., behind the

I went back and forth adjusting the blade guides, tracking, and whatnot over and over again trying to get my Harbor Freight red to cut straight. Eventually I realized I was chasing my tail by putting

Another nice tip! In fact, I made jigs?of various sizes to hold square and rectangular style steel on a diamond shaped (corner up / down)?orientation for cutting ferritic tube steel and I can

I agree with the previous comment... 24 tpi would be a good choice for thin walled tubing. Another trick is to hold the tube on its diagonal in the vise. That way, the same thickness is being

John? Thank you very much for your well-considered reply! Now, to apply that! I should get my tube steel next week, hopefully before Thanksgiving. John? Sent from AOL Mobile Mail Get the new AOL

Hi John In general (i.e. when cutting solid stainless): Most stainless is softer than mild steel in normal condition, but can work-harden to the point where even a bimetal blade won't touch it.

Thank you! And I should have stated that I’ll be working with 304 stainless. John H Sent from AOL Mobile Mail Get the new AOL app: mail.mobile.aol.com
