Kragax Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) First of all I'd like to thank my friend the Amazing Kevin, for the design and the encouragement. This is done in Basswood. I'm still learning how to cut thicker hardwoods like Walnut.

Multifasited Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Looks fine to me ,tention and slower speed needed to keep the bow out especially on turn ,center of the blade has to catch up ,true on stacking also,looks like you did fine !!

DWSUDEKUM Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 There is several ways to reduce and eliminate the "bow" in the cut. One is to use a #9 blade cut slow turn slow and not push too much. The other is to use a spiral blade this has the advantage that it will cut a straight kerf but has the disadvantage that you have to practice using them. Either way your box looks great. Practice will make them easier to make. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
