Re: Cutter head to outfeed table specification on A3 31

Re: Cheap Reset Stop for Rip Fence DRO
Hi Andrea, Short answer is that I do not have the ability to turn metal let alone with any precision. As I see it, what¡¯s needed is a pin that fits the existing hole precisely such that there is no

Re: Cheap Reset Stop for Rip Fence DRO
Hi Imran, I wanted to ask you, why did you thread the hole and screw in a bolt, couldn't you have simply inserted a pin turned to size into the smooth hole?

Re: Cutter head to outfeed table specification on A3 31
Thank you Patrick. Unfortunately, my new A3 31 came to me out of adjustment. Considering all the hype about the machine, i didn¡¯t bother to check it out. And it was stuck in a corner of my garage

Re: Cutter head to outfeed table specification on A3 31
The Tersa knives can vary between HSS, coated and carbide. And also between the different brands. Not much and Jarred is right they might need resetting after some use. Very slight though. I don¡¯t

Re: Cutter head to outfeed table specification on A3 31
I never liked .001" above the outfeed. Its great for a minute until the edge dulls slightly, and then you are suddenly cutting tapers and not the trailing edge. .003-.004" above or usually 1/8"

Re: Cutter head to outfeed table specification on A3 31
