PV Audio's Carpeting/Box Build Technique Tutorial *56k on hiatus*

Also note that I used the wrong sawblade in the tutorial. It has too few teeth, and I only had it in there cause I was cutting PCBs for my new home audio project and forgot to change it back. Go with a 60 tooth blade and you won't get any saw lines like you see in the close up woodcut pic.

Ohh, I think I get you. You just take a 90 degree bonded piece of MDF and clamp it to the fence to make sure that if it does indeed hit, it hits the wood and not the metal. That's so simple, it's brilliant. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

the jig is simple, its about 2" wide by 2" high by close to the depth of the table saw.

i used some scrap wood i had laying around. i glued the pieces and brad nailed them together. then clamp it to the table saw guide for safety reasons, then i adjust the depth, lock it in place and cut away.

Edit: i didn't see your other response where you figured the jig out. but ill leave it since it has simple dimensions on how to make it. lol

Is your blade dulled to hell and back from two years of non carbide tipped usage? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

It's the miscellaneous blade. Use it for cutting through things that I don't want to use the diamond tipped blade for.

Thx, Ima make me one so that I can just slap it up against my fence and not worry about it.

Its worse.

Its worse.

It can't be worse because I've never seen wood burn or saw marks on your cuts. If your blade were dull, then that's the dead giveaway. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

ill show you pics tommorow of the blade.. The blade honestly sucks. It has to be 5+ years old.

The blade in our local home depot panel saw is worse I'll bet ya. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif

Those blades aren't really bad, they're just bend to hell and back. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
