I like your idea of using grooves to fit any type of jig, I use an L shape jig to register my pieces against but is not as flexible. Thanks for the great idea!
It's not an original idea on my part, but I think it's a great system. Thanks for the kind words.
What happens when you take the honeycomb bed out to clean it?
That's something I rarely do. The clearance on the screws that hold the honeycomb in place is very close so it goes back in the same location. I have not removed it since installing this system, but I wouldn't imagine there is much if any movement. I would recommend checking the positioning of the L fence after reinstalling though. Worst case scenario, you would need to make a new L fence. Any jigs that you've made you could adjust the positioning within Lightburn if it has moved.
Thank you very much
Sometimes I have problems cutting all the way through a piece so I will use the "Start from" option to repeatedly cut over one area till it cuts all the way through.
Yes, that can work sometimes, thanks. Sometimes the glue in the plywood won't burn through no matter how many times I go over it.
I sure hop you look at this soon I'm looking at purchasing this Saw and have not found much here on RUclips about the saw other than generic computer voice overs of the base product info from the website your the first person video I've found related to the Shop Fox 1820. I would like to get more input from you on what you think of the saw itself
Bottom line is it's a good value for the money. Plenty of power, the top is flat, needed minimal trueing out of the box. If I had it to do over again I would have bought the smaller rip capacity. I find that I don't use it like I thought I would and it takes up a lot of space as is. I purchased an inexpensive track saw setup and use that exclusively for breaking down large pieces of plywood.
