Re: Wide belt grit selection
Mark, For your volume of use in a one man shop, I don't think that would pay off. We are using Aluminum Oxide, with 5 people in the shop and belts last months. Here's a photo of the diagonal wiggly

Re: Wide belt grit selection
Jason, so what brand are you using, I thought you mentioned it but can¡¯t find it. When you said straight seam, you mean a butt joint? VSM just told me that was the way to go Regards, Mark

Re: Clamps and accessories
I will also agree about the problem with the Kreg automaxx clamp.? I have found if you hold on firmly to whatever it is you're clamping as you activate the clamp, you can over power the lateral pull

Re: Wide belt grit selection
Lloyd, My resaw setup must be better than yours as 120 is takes out saw marks in a pass or two? We can even glue directly off the bandsaw. I was having bad chatter marks off the sander for a while,

Re: Clamps and accessories
Wade, What Bill posted is a special nut that is designed to be secured at couple of locations (designed for that nut) in the slider slot to mount the short xcut fence. One does not need that for jigs

Re: Clamps and accessories
Wade, Yes, 6" automaxx can reach over the fence. It is 1/14" - 20 thread. No, I did not make the t-nut, I do not have the milling machine. It was made by a machine shop. James

Re: Clamps and accessories
Bill, With your set up, can you lock the Kreg clamp to the slider bed, prior to clapping down your material. I was wondering if they make a Kipp lever that would match the threads that are machined in

Re: Clamps and accessories
Hey James, Thank you for sending this. So you can reach over the crosscut cut fence with the 6¡± version clamp without having to modify it? What thread sizes did you use? Did you machine the t-nuts
