I had four different people try to undo it as I also wanted a finer blade in it. The supplier said it is because the blade has something on it called lock-tite, to prevent it coming loose in transit. I sent it back to the supplier here in England and it came back within the week, unfortunately they didn't tell me how they got it loose. <br /><br />My table saw has the most unhelpful guard that you could possibly imagine, so I'm making a table sled with a guard over the blade so that I can still see what I'm doing. It can also be a bit bigger than the size of the table. I will put some pictures on my blog idskesminis.blogspot.co.uk, when I get round to making the sled.<br /><br />A full size example is on this video from Steve Marin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69t6MFCUobw&feature=bf_prev&list=PL160053139FD6860F&noredirect=1. You will still need a fence to start with, but once you have the sled you won't have to clamp it to the rather small table any more.<br /><br />I've spotted something very similar being used on one of the Guild School videos about furniture making classes.<br /><br />I love your blog, it inspiring as so many others, Karin Corbin included!<br /><br />I hope that this helps a bit, IdskeIdskesminishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096142682173969377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415024920122956510.post-23613046034086946212012-07-26T13:49:17.483-05:002012-07-26T13:49:17.483-05:00Okay.

I'...Okay. Thanks! I can DO this. I know I can! <br /><br />I'm going over to visit Karin Corbin's blog to see how she made her own saw fence. I remember seeing a post about that...<br /><br />Maybe I won't have to change the blade right now. :DKathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231703268144400867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415024920122956510.post-40457760673812647442012-07-26T12:56:12.867-05:002012-07-26T12:56:12.867-05:00Hi kathi,
you could make your own fence by clampin...Hi kathi,<br />you could make your own fence by clamping a metal ruler parallel to the blade and running your material along it. It shouldn't be done but the only way to increase the cutting depth is to remove the blade guard...I've done it before but it isn't something that I'd advise =0/<br /><br />The diamond blade is for hard materials (metal and plastics). It burns wood quickly by sanding rather than cutting so just be careful, okay. You're making my sawing fingers twitchy =0(Pepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777217200629685759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415024920122956510.post-29998867265715270402012-07-26T09:20:36.520-05:002012-07-26T09:20:36.520-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Minshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116018770240906918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415024920122956510.post-17521208825041067482012-07-26T09:20:28.657-05:002012-07-26T09:20:28.657-05:00Hi Kathi,
That's a wonderful little saw forth...Hi Kathi,<br /><br />That's a wonderful little saw forthe price and you can use a even thinner blade on its long asthe whole in the middle is the same size on the new blade. When you speak to the store to get the bolt lose, as them what the thinnest blade they have is that will fit it. My blade is super thin and it makes all the difference in the world with mini work. <br /><br />Once you customize the saw bench a little, it will become your most used tool of all for sure.<br /><br />Oh and maybe try some wd40 spray oil on the nut, may help you loosen it yourself... We have wd40 in Australia, I hope it's available in the USA too?<br /><br />All the best,<br />Kim xxMinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116018770240906918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415024920122956510.post-86743854756909095372012-07-26T07:40:33.597-05:002012-07-26T07:40:33.597-05:00oh my gosh that's scary looking I was looking ...oh my gosh that's scary looking I was looking on Amazon for this: <br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Darice-NSP103-Cuts-Crafting-Jigsaw/dp/B0024V57JC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343306367&sr=8-1&keywords=darice+nsp103<br /><br />Im saving up to buy it, I think it's safer for me cause Id cut my hands off with anything elseMarisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08484302423812250789noreply@blogger.com
