How much runout on TS is too much
My latest project requires me to rip some 1 1/2" Maple so I deicded to
check blade alignment. I cobbled together a jig similar to this http://www.newwoodworker.com/dilindjig.html to check my setup My alignment, which I think is OK, is 0.001". Not bad considering I used this method to align my blade http://www.woodmagazine.com/wood/sto...l&catref=wd146 (whoever came up with that technique is a genius) The runout measuered on the body of the blade is 0.003". I think this is too much but it could be the 'silver' coating on the Avanti blade I just bought. Is 0.001" alignment close enough? Is 0.003" blade runout too much? Is it OK to have the dial indicator angled so the measurement can be taken closer to the table or does it need to be 90deg? (as seen here, but not my site) http://home.comcast.net/~kvaughn65/dial_indicator.jpg |
