I wrap mesquite with painter's tape and cut with FD UR # 3 or #5.  No burning.

I do not know of any oiling points on the 694.  I have read several posts where the 694 did not have enough grease in the bearings when sent from factory.  Re-greasing fixed most of the complaints.

Brag Forum / Re: First spiral blade attempt

« on: June 09, 2020, 04:48:38 pm »

Flying Dutchman makes a Spiral Reverse.  (SPREV) I have not used them.  I almost always use a scrap piece under the ply I am cutting when using spirals.  Here is some information on spirals I posted in Feb 2017:

Posted February 9, 2017 (edited)

If My memory is correct and if I understand what I just looked up:

Spiral Blades came first and are pretty much a flat blade that has been twisted into a spiral.  Pretty much needed to use pliers to un-twist the end to get it to stay in the holders.  hard to control - hard to get into holder but the best there was at the time.

The Flat End Spiral was brought out (The flat end spiral - as stated above is not really flat.  It is close to half spiral and half flat making it easier to get ready to place in the holders.)

To bring about better control, The New Spiral Blade was developed several years ago and has teeth on both sides of the blade - a flat blade with teeth on both sides and twisted into a spiral.   better control. Still has some twist on the ends. Sometimes I flatten the ends some and sometimes I put them in right out of the package.

Spiral Reverse is latest design of the spiral. - spiral blades for all around cutting with reverse teeth on the bottom for a close to sand free finish.

There are several ways to do this:

  Wrap the pieces in painter's tape or packing tape

  Wrap painter's tape or packing tape around the edges

  Use pin nailer and put pins in the waste areas of the wood

  Use a small dab (pin head size) of wood glue in waste areas and clamp pieces together

  Use hot glue around the edges of the wood

Also, you can change the page size in Inkscape (Document Properties >> custom size).  Save as PDF and Acrobat Reader in poster mode will split the pages and add the cut marks.

Thanks Don.  I did not know this.
