| I went out to cut some lip slots on a bunch of cranks today and set my table saw up where it is comfortable for me to work with it and checked the depth of the cut and made an adjustment and started cutting. By blank #3 something didn't look quite right, but I thought, what could go wrong? I've done this before, it must just be my head. So I cut a couple more and then I stopped, something looked off. So I shut off the saw and checked the blanks that I had cut slots in and every one was different. When I set the depth for the cut, I must have loosened the tightness on the blade because every slot was getting steeper and steeper just a little bit with each cut. I'm glad that I caught it right away, and now I have 5 crankbaits with each one running just a little bit shallower than the one before it. Now that's precision depth control for you. "This one runs 6',this one runs 5.5',this one runs 4.75'...... I better take some time away from the garage. |
