The Day the Laguna Shipment Arrived!
|
|
|
Here's the shop before the Laguna shipment |
| Here's Jeremy directing the truck |
 |
 |
Easy does it--don't take out the neighbors!!! |
| It was all the way in the back? No wonder it took so long... |  |
 |
The bandsaw came out first but had to wait to get in because it was too tall on the pallet |
| The pallet jack had no trouble moving the tablesaw right into its new home. |  |
 |
There's the fence for the tablesaw. |
| Bye bye Mr Truck! |  |
 |
Off he goes... Now we get to put all this stuff together...
(about 5 hours later...) |
| Oh no, the little fence goober was cracked... |  |
 |
Someone was asleep at the wheel in the machine shop on this one... |
But it's one really sweet tablesaw! |
 |
 |
And I can't forget about this spectacular bandsaw! |
I spoke
with Laguna and they agreed to send me another blade instead of shipping
the rail back--it's an easy fix, as seen below, and I don't have to wait
for shipping. The missing blade arbor adapter and replacement view finder
will come with a new glue-line rip blade. I've made several cuts with
the TS, including a 45" rip of a piece of plywood--very nice, clean cut
with the scoring blade. I've also made my first resaw cut on a scrap
piece of black walnut and I'm suitably impressed with how clean the cut
came out. I can't wait to make some significant sawdust with these tools! |
|
5 minutes with a jigsaw and there's a mitre slot. I simply traced the proper cutout by using the rear rail as a template and cutout the 'L' with a metal blade in my jigsaw (using masking tape to keep from scratching the surface). After that, I filed down the cut edges to match the existing opening. Once that was done I could tighten up the rails and get the fence tuned up. A few adjustments later and the fence is sliding like a champ. |

I used the support plywood from the fence box to make a more stable platform for the TS. Also, note the routing of the power cable through the lift hole--neatly tucks the cord away. The table is now perfectly flat, level and the fence is working great. |
