Hello, I'm working on a large wooden sphere project with a hollow center. The process will require me to construct it out of rings of various sizes. I.e. one of them is a hollow flat ring 1.5 inches wide with an outside diameter of 2 feet or less. When gluing them up, I need to center the...

Help! I've read a few threads both on here and other forums, but I can not find a solution. I've just purchased a used (obviously) 10" Craftsman Contractor table saw Model: 113.298842. I have been trying to get the blade aligned to one of the miter slots to no avail. I've spent the last three...

Bought a new bosch wormdrive circ saw (1677md) and I keep going back to my old underpowered standby. Even on a short cross cut (2x10) it is tailing off badly to the left. Any suggestions on adjustment/alignment? Improper use versus a standard circ saw? Lemon? BTW - It has not been...
