just for you two...

the rest of us would never do such a thing...

unless we were cutting polystyrene or vynal...

I was ripping, on a Shopsmith, have no idea where my head was, but it’s pretty apparent in the first 1/4 inch or so, that’s something is wrong. Now when I had a boat, I was constantly being told that there are only two types of boaters-those who have launched with the drain plug out, and those who are gonna launch with the drain plug out. I managed to avoid that with two boats over 14 years. However I could write a book about all the OTHER goofs/mistakes/bad judgements/oopsies I managed to survive.

Well! How else was I gonna know what to do? I told you I once put the blade on backwards. I am what you call an intelligent moron, I don’t repeat my mistakes, I continuously think of new ones to make.

I have an old craftsman direct drive TS with blade backwards for just such tasks.  BUT, I labeled it as such.:Laughing:

Yeah I was in that group. They say the two happiest days in a boaters life, is when he buys the boat, and when he sells the boat. Not true for me, I cried the day I had to sell her. But we needed a place to live (and the boat was only a 20 footer).

It is important to use thread titles.  Later searches are easier and the tags enhance the searches.  I sometimes look for old threads when someone asks a question and I remember that question was answered with a good link for a video or etc.

 

As far as putting the blade on backwards don't think you are the only moron to do that.  I did once and can top that.  Had the lathe in reverse and couldn't figure why the tool wasn't cutting.  We learn from our mistakes???  Sure, the second time I caught on a "little" quicker.
