Re: Tailstock vertical or not
I apologize for my slow response to you assistance--other projects have taken priority I think Ed's response probably is my answer and will be taken the next time I'm drilling pen blanks.

Tilt the table to the right at 45 degrees, blade height set for a deep cut, and the miter-gauge in the left miter-slot set for a 90 degree cut and you get all kinds of aluminum shav...

Re: Blades for Bandsaw Model # 505641
I just put on a Bosch 1/4" 72 1/2" blade this past week. I tracks fine but I really had to adjust the rip fence for drift--more so than with any other blades. Though I'm pretty sure I have used a Bosch in the past without this much drift. Fence had to be adjusted (cocked) to the left as yo...

If in doubt, use toxic wood precautions. Can't go wrong.

Re: Headstock heat?
Excessive quill pressure to drive in the drive spur into the wood and against the tailstock will result in more heat buildup. Procedure is to drive the drive spur in with a non-metal mallet or precut grooves in the end of the turning stock for the drive spurs to seat in, place work piece between the...
