Re: Replace or resurface jointer push blocks
I second using grout floats as they are perfect for the job...I use the Goldblatt grout floats for epoxy.

Re: Replace or resurface jointer push blocks
I went to the plaster dept. in the big box store and bought a couple of plasterers floats. They are inexpensive and last much longer the stuff sold to woodworkers.

This material works well. Unfortunately, I forgot what it is. Maybe somebody recognizes it.

Re: Replace or resurface jointer push blocks
I took the lazy route. Just attached sandpaper with contact cement to the old foam on my push block.

Re: Felder Diamond Blade - saw marks
Bigger blade lower rpm , less teeth give larger gullet easier for chips to escape to dust collection and most important keep blade cool . Can¡¯t imagine the diamond coating is good for nateral wood , snake oil if you ask me I¡¯ll use my diamond for cleaning grinder wheels and sharpening carbide.

The funny thing what i've noticed is I've done a cut what may have been a little too much for this blade (8cm thick european oak) and since then the sound changed a bit and some whiny sound got introduced but man it leave a surface like after sanding on end grain. Its worth every penny in my view. I've got it from a german reseller what was even cheaper then sautershop. The important part is to pick up the right riving knife for it!

Re: Replace or resurface jointer push blocks
One of my boys gave me a pair of the MicroJig push blocks. I had always thought the MicroJig products were unnecessarily elaborate, but I actually love them. The little automatic drop-down hooks are really effective.
My wife calls me ¡°Gadget Guy¡±, and she is spot on!

Re: Felder Diamond Blade - saw marks
follow up to my own issue.?
I finally had a little time to investigate.?
My riving knife is the AKE knife sold by sauntershop. It¡¯s 1.9mm vs the felder 2.0 mm for the same blade.?
I checked the position of the riving knife and it was asymmetrically, albeit slightly, skewed to one side of the blade.?
I briefly adjusted this to make it more centered, with equal positioning, and my own cut marks definitely improved. Though still not planer quality. It¡¯s more manageable presently until I have more time to do a deeper dive and check runout and evaluate the blade better.?
?
Definitely passable for my own enthusiast needs?

$13,199 on eBay, and $5,740 direct from HGR. Something fishy there.
