An die Serviceabteilung:
sehr geehrten D. u. H.,
habe eine KS 54 und damit seit eine Weile kein feiner Schnitt(Rattenmarken? durch ein Lagerspiel des Sägeblattes)
Die Werkstatt von Agencias Generales in Santa Cruz, die eure Marke importiert und Service anbietet hat nicht mal den Schalter zum Verkauf, desto weniger die Lagerkomponenten, da sie teurer im vergleich zum billigen chinesischen Lager wären...
Ich zerlege dann die Maschine und stelle fest, dass der wichtige Kugellager fuer die maschine ein chinesischer Billigprodukt ist...
Was für eine deutsche Schande! So billig mochte man die Gewinne steigern?
Gut... Der Vertreter eurer Marke Metabo in Santa Cruz hat keine Erfahrung in den Wechsel des Kugel- und den zusaetzliche Nadel-lager fuer diese Kreissage... Der Junge vom Service hat es nicht gemacht und wollte einfach mit der Druckpresse von der Seite der Nadel lager die Achse mitsamt den zwei Lager hinausdruecken. Da die abgebildete Explosionzeichnung eine groessere Abdeckplatte als die Nadellager zeigt, habe ich behauptet, dass die Sägeblattachse muss gezogen werden -mit Hilfe der Schraube an der Achse, dann die Deckel der Nagellager von innen gestossen werden, und so die Nadellager herauszudruecken oder stossen.
Der Leiter mischte dahin, das seine Werkstatt das Lagertauschen nicht machen koennte.. wegen der moegliche Anspruch meinerseits auf Ersatz des kompletten Teils, falls etwas schief geht...
Und diese Murxer haben das Recht auf den freien Eingriff in eure Datenblaetter-datenbank.
Ich bitte Sie, mir den Zugang der speziellen ServiceDatenBlaetter eurer Firma zu ermoeglichen (pdf oder andere digitale Dokumente)... um diese eure Murxer in Bolivien zu händigen und übersetzen, damit ich mit der Werkzeugeinrichtung dieser Servicewerkstatt meine Kreisäge mit (selbst gekauften) japanischen Lager austatten kann..
Ich erwarte dass Ihre Firma mir keine komplizierte Ausreden mitteilen wird und anstelle von dummen Service- und Repräzentanz-ausreden... einfach den freien zugang zu euren Serviceblatter mit den passenden funktionierenden Link in euren Webseiten ermöglichen.
Danke im voraus

exact with- dados jig
The secret to making perfect dados with your router!
For a PDF and SketchUp plan of this project, head to
http://thewoodwhisperer.com/exact-width-dado-jig


In the Weekend Wall Shelfepisode, I showed you how to use a parallel jig to create dados. But the jig was originally created for making coves at the tablesaw. So here’s a special jig made specifically for the purpose of creating dados with your router. The best part is, you can get exact-width dados EVERY TIME!
This jig was developed and demonstrated in the current Guild Build as part of the Wall-Hanging Cabinet series (it was originally inspired by this Wood Magazine Jig). This video is a little sample of what Guild members are enjoying every week during the build season. If you are interested in joining the Guild, learn more here.
This jig can be made to any size for any bit/guide bushing combination. Just remember that once you use a particular bit/bushing combo with the jig, you are stuck with it. Using a different combination will defeat the purpose of the jig. I used a 5/8″ guide bushing and a 1/2″ router bit.
Don’t forget to download the PDF and SketchUp drawing for the Exact Width Dado Jig!

Jig Modifications

I requested ideas modifications to the jig, and a couple Guild members were quick to off suggestions. If you have a modification, upload it to our SketchUp Library and share the link in the comments below.

Robert’s Suggestion (SketchUp File)
==================
Router table and fence

Commercial router tables often have concentric inserts to handle different sizes of router bits. For my router table, I figured concentric inserts would be too hard to make, and that I could just make different inserts with different sizes of holes.
The insert is supported by two ledges screwed to the bottom of the table on the left and right side. To hold the insert down, it has a lip that slips under the table on the near side, and a door magnet on the far side. Before I added the magnet, the air blowing out of the front of the router would often lift the insert out of the table.
For the table surface, I just recycled the piece of plywood that I already had in my router table saw extension. I had previously drilled holes in it to mount two different types of router, so the piece has a few extra holes.
My first thought was to cut the hole for the insert with a scrollsaw. If I used a fine enough blade, I would get a perfectly matching hole and insert in one go, even if I didn't cut it all straight. But getting the shape right for any additional inserts would be much harder.
So instead, I decided to make the hole exactly square. To make sure I had the sides cut all straight, I cut the sides by making plunge cuts with my table saw.
Plunge cuts can cause dangerous kickback if your work piece is not rigidly secured. I held my work piece by fixing the position of my table saw sled with a small clamp - see bottom left of the picture.
I used my smallest, 6 1/2" blade to make the plunge cuts, so that I could cut relatively deep without making my cuts overly long. I then drilled some holes in the corners to finish the cuts in the corners, and the middle part fell out. I used a carving knife to square out the corners of my cutout.
With both the insert and my router table top made from the same thickness of material, getting the insert to be flush with the table was a simple matter of attaching some pieces of wood to the bottom of the table to act as ledges.
And with my cutout being a 12x12 cm square, making more inserts that fit exactly is straightforward as well.

I also built a fence to attach to the top of the router table. I had previously always used my table saw fence to hold a temporary router table fence, but I figured while I was at it, I might as well make a nice fence with a cutout in it for the router bit. My design was inspired by Uli proppe's router fence
The front of the fence is a sacrificial piece of wood. I may replace this with a split fence eventually, but I figure I'll use this one piece fence at least until I end up cutting too much out of this one.

The fence is held down by two screws, which go into T-nuts on the bottom side of my table. The sacrificial fence is held to the front with some screws held with wing nuts.

The knobs are just hex bolts mounted in pieces of hardwood. The heads of the bolts are mounted in holes that I chiseled hexagonal to match the screw heads. I also glued a small washer to the bottom of the knobs. A larger washer in turn is used to span the slots that the mounting knobs go through.

The router fence itself is joined relatively simply. The base is rabbeted into the front side, and the two braces are doweled into the front with just one dowel, and butt joined to the base. I don't expect this fence to get a lot of abuse, so I figure the butt joints should hold.


I cut the slots for the knobs with my home-made slot mortising machine. I'm very proud of myslot mortiser and use it every chance that I have!

The only other slightly tricky aspect of the router fence is the bevel I cut into the base at the back of the cutout for the router. I figured if I beveled it at the back, it would be easier for the router to eject the chips out that way, without them getting stuck. I cut this bevel by passing the cutout slowly side to side across my table saw blade, moving my work piece forward by about a millimeter each time.

I also made a short video of the router lift in action.

Table Saw LS Super System
The Incra TS-LS offers the one thing that every table saw fence should have, but none of them do: Automatic Positioning Control. All other table saws depend on a tape measure and your eyesight to position your work. That's why all table saw users are resigned to the fact that a good cut requires long set-up times and endless trial and error.
The Incra TS-LS completely eliminates the need for these tedious processes by using Incra's patented lead screw technology to position your work instantly and automatically to within 0.002". Even better, if you want to repeat a cut, you can return to any former position in less than 5 seconds with ZERO repeatability error. This kind of accuracy and perfect repeatability are luxuries that woodworkers could only dream about before the Incra TS-LS.
And because of its structural design, centrally placed carriage, and optimized side mounted clamping system, the entire unit virtually welds itself together into one solid block of steel and aluminum when locked in place. The result is exceptional strength, rigidity and stability.
With the included Wonder Fence Heavy Duty Split Fence and a full complement of Incra's routing accessories including the Master Reference Guide and Template Library with 51 Joinery Templates, the LS Instructional DVD, the Right Angle Fixture, and the Shop Stop Positioner, you'll turn any table saw into a powerhouse work station for all your ripping, cross cutting and routing requirements. (Router table extension wing sold separately.)

Router table for the table saw
My Delta Hybrid saw came with very long fence rails that extended way past the table. But to effectively clamp the fence, you need something to brace the fence rails at the right distance from each other against the force of the fence clamp.
So the logical thing to do is to build some sort of frame to go on the right side of the table to extend the table. And the logical thing to do for this is to make it so that a router can be mounted under it. This has the advantage that both the table saw fence, and potentially the T-slot can be used with the router.
I built the frame out of spruce from 2x4's. The corners are joined with a simple double lap joint. The picture at left shows the joint before gluing.
Note the rabbet on the inside edges. This is to support the plywood panel under which the router is mounted. Also note how the left part of the lap joint is stepped to be narrower where the joint is. If the lap joint were to go across the full width of the piece, then my rabbet would cause a gap in the frame at the corner, which would look sily.
The lap joint assembled, and trimmed to size. I made the pieces so the frame would be slightly larger than needed, so I could cut the frame precisely to size and the joints flush.
To support the frame vertically in the fence rails, I cut away part of each corner on the bottom side of the frame, so I could screw small pieces of maple in to have them extend into the slot on the fence rails. I guess I could have made this an integral part of the frame, but by making it a separately screwed in part, I could still shim it up to bring it exactly level with the table.
And with he piece of maple screwed in. The piece of maple extends only a little past the frame, as the slot in the aluminium rail is not that deep.
I also added a bolt to lock the frame against the fence rails. The bolt head on the nearer side slides into the fence rail. The gap in the aluminum rail is just narrow enough to keep the bolt head from turning.
Shown at left is how the bolt head fits snugly into the aluminium rail.
And here the frame is mounted on the saw. I also added a leg to the frame to support the extended table.
Also note the piece of aluminium on the far side of the frame. This part came with the saw, and I guess the idea was that if one didn't build a table extension, one could always move that between the rails where the fence was to be clamped, to give the rails a little bit of bracing against the fence clamp. Kind of a feeble approach, but I figured I might as well use that piece of extension to extend the table a little bit more.
And with the router mounted. I still need to build a fence to attach to the saw's fence. That way, I get the adjustment feature for free.

Finger joint (video)
============
Box joined drawers
front of drawerA traditional method of joining the drawer front to the sides of a drawer is to use a rabbeted dovetail joint. This is an elaborate and time consuming joint to cut, even with a dovetail jig. On top of that, a dovetail joint is not even as strong as a box joint if you make the box joint fingers at all reasonably narrow. Not that all this matters so much, even simply rabbet joined drawers hold up well enough.But after having built my super fancy box joint jig, I explored an interesting idea for how to use it to attach drawer fronts. The main problem being that a box joint normally forms a corner of a box, and not a T-type joint that is needed for a drawer.

cutting the box jointBut with my fancy jig, I can safely and accurately cut box joints that are quite deep. This enables me to make a bit of a T-joint for the drawer front.
Basically, I cut the box joint about 2 cm deeper into the drawer front than I would if I were to just make a box.
test fittin the box jointWith the slots cut very deeply, the fingers stick out way beyond the corner joint, and I can then just use another scrap piece with fingers cut into it to fill the gaps. The image at left shows a test fitting of this.
gluing the box jointHaving the extra piece with the fingers in it is actually quite handy for gluing the drawer together, as it's a convenient spot to put a clamp on, without getting glue all over the clamp.

cutting off the excess
After the glue has dried, I cut off the rest of the excess of the fingers on my table saw. I am as usual using mytable saw sled to do this.

The next step is to shave just a little bit off the drawer front with my jointer. The resulting finish actually looks quite nice, and would make for a very intriguing drawer front.

Update: I have since built my slot mortising machine which I have used to make similar drawers and T-joints but without cutting a slot all the way to the edge.
gluing on drawer faceAlthough the drawer front looked kind of intriguing as it was, I wanted the drawer face to be made of hardwood. I had some nice pieces of white oak that i had been saving, that I resawed to thin slabs to glue onto the faces of these drawers. That way, the drawer fronts won't get banged up as quickly.
drawers in the workbenchI used this same method of construction for the four upper drawers of this workbench.
The bottom drawer is also box joined (see in this video). It rolls on wheels just like these under bed drawers that I had built earlier.

The Stickley story

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9tP4h-MsPk&feature=endscreen&NR=1
Gustav Stickley (mainly - but also his brothers) followed the tradition of William Morris and the European Arts & Crafts school of design (and philosophy). Possibly there were some Dutch influences, artistic culture draws from many sources. And if you did a bit of research into the company, Stickley has a long tradition and the company has an exceptional foundation. No intellectual property was stolen by anyone.

Screw advance box joint jig



See also: Version 2 of this jig
I built my new screw advance box joint jig to allow very precise cutting of box joints in a whole stack of work pieces at once. Rather than the traditional method of doing box joints, which involves indexing each finger off of the previous finger, this jig uses a screw to give absolute position to each finger in the joint.
I had previously explored the idea of using a screw advance for box joints with my box joint jig and with my computerized table saw jig
The jig consists of a sort of table saw sled, which has a metal bar mounted to the bottom of it for sliding in the table saw's slot.
The base has two rails that go side to side, on which the carriage that holds the work piece can slide. Sideways movement of the carriage holding the work pieces is controlled by a threaded rod, which is turned by a crank via a set of wooden gears.
Different primary gears (the gear with the crank on it) can be swapped onto the jig, so that different finger spacings can be achieved without having to resort to making partial turns for each finger advance. Each advance may thus involve two whole turns, for example, and always stops with the crank handle in the same position.

The carriage slides on a sort of half-dovetail, which is on the operator side of the jig. On the other side, it just slides on a simple square slot. A spring loaded roller keeps the carriage pushed into the wedge of the half dovetail, so that the position of the carriage on the sled is consistent and precise.
The slot that is used on the other side of the carriage is actually relatively loose. Really, the carriage is pushed down against the support at all time, and the slot is just there so that the carriage doesn't pop off the base sled when I pick up the jig by the carriage.

The carriage has an opening that is 30 cm by 15 cm for the work piece. This allows for multiple boards, up to 30 cm in width to be cut all at once. Realistically, some of the 15 cm space will always be taken up by a "sacrificial board", to prevent tearout on the end, and by the clamps to hold the boards. So I wouldn't cut a stack of boards that total more than 10 cm in thickness at one time.
In this photo I was cutting the box joints for some drawers, some of which are 21 cm deep, the others 12 cm deep. So there are two narrower pieces in the jig along with two wider pieces, plus a fifth sacrificial board to prevent tearout.

To allow for different amounts of advance per turn, different set of primary gears can be swapped into the jig. There are also two sizes of gear on the screw shaft, one has 12 teeth, and the other has 16 teeth. That way, I have more combinations that I can use to get different spacings.
When I first used the jig, I just clamped he block with the primary gear in place with a clamp, but later I decided to use a screw to hold the blocks in place.
       

The image at left shows the gear block, mounted in place with a carriage bolt. If you mouse over the image, it shows the gear block in the lower position. The gear block is shaped such that it fits nicely in two positions.
<--- Mouse over image to animate
So far I have made five primary gears, with 20, 24, 26, 35, 39, 42, 47 teeth. There is no system whatsoever in these sizes. Whenever I need a particular spacing, and I don't already have a gear of the right size, I just make another one. The 39 tooth primary against the 12 tooth secondary, for example, results in a 5.12 mm advance per turn, which is perfect for making very fine box joints or finger joints with my regular thin kerf saw blade. Three turns of the 42 tooth gear against the 16 tooth gear is just the right amount of advance for making box joints with the two saw blades of my dado set, without any spacers and chip removers in it.

I ended up making a lot of primary gears for my jig and eventually came up with a better method of mounting the gears for my improved version 2 of the jig The bolt to hold the gear gets locked in place as the block locking knob is tightened, so gear changes are fairly fast, and there is no need to make a separate gear mount for each primary gear.
To get different spacings, I can pick one of a number of primary gears, and mesh that with the 12 tooth or the 16 tooth secondary gear, and decide how many turns to turn per advance. If I want a particular advance per cut, it makes it difficult to figure out which combination of primary, secondary, and turns per cut gets me closest among the gear sets I already have. So I worked out all the combinations of primary gear, secondary gear and turns on the crank. I worked out the advance for each combination, and made a sorted list of these. Now, if I want a certain spacing, I can just look up on the spreadsheet to see how close I can get to that spacing with the gears I already have before deciding whether to make another gear.
I wrote a program that allows you to enter which gears you have made and automatically generate a custom table based on your gears. It runs in the web browser on any computer (mac or PC), no 'install' necessary, and it's included if you buy the plans for the improved version 2 of this jig

Alignment of the jig works by continuously pressing the carriage part against the half dovetail on the operator side of the jig. This is done with a set of pinch rollers, which always pull the carriage towards the operator side and into the half dovetail rail on that side.
I couldn't find a suitable spring for spring loading the rollers, so I just used a thin piece of wood, with a block under it. I'm sure the thin piece of wood will eventually need replacing, but it's just a thin piece of maple, so that's no worry.

I mounted a big drawer handle to the operator side of the jig. The first time I used it, I realized I didn't have a good place to grab the jig to pull it back after making a cut. The handle in that position is a good place to grab, and it's far enough from where the blade goes through the jig to be safe.
In terms of safety, this jig is much safer than the typical way of cutting finger joints. The drawer handle, and the crank on the gear are about as close as one gets to the blade when cutting a set of fingers.

One of the first projects I built using this jig is some drawers for one of my workbenches. I made four drawers, and joined all the corners with box joints, which made for quite a lot of fingers to be cut. Most of these I cut with a stack of four boards in the jig at one time. The fourth photo in this article is actually of these boards being cut.
You may notice that the boards on top have the box joints cut quite deeply. They are the drawer fronts, using my super strong joints for drawers



A video of the jig in operation:
The biggest thing I made with this jig so far is this storage drawer:


The video is of me cutting the boards for this drawer on the jig. The boards are the maximum width that the jig can hold, and the maximum length I can put into it without hitting the ceiling in my workshop.
