The new SawStop is performing well and is extremely smooth. No issues other
than I have not yet had a chance to get my stuff back under the right
extension table so nothing is where I expect it to be. As I suspected the
black color shows all the saw dust, quite a stark change from my old white
Jet. One thing that I could suggest as an improvement would to put a
switch on the internal dust cover door that has to be swung open to change
blades. It is hard for me to remember to close it and sawdust goes
everywhere inside when I forget. If the saw motor cover door or the belt
access door are left open the saw will not start. I think the same should
be true for that dust cover.

Anyway at least one of you thought that I may not be busy, eh Mike? I am on
my second paying job since getting the SawStop and have at least 4 projects
waiting in line. I am just finishing up on a unique sewing cabinet. The
customer wanted an elevated book case with doors and on top of that a short
platform to set a 50" tall sewing spool cabinet, which she supplied. I
designed and built the lower cabinet and the upper cabinet behind spool
cabinet. The unit is about 94" tall..

Looks great. Good job.

What brand/kind of hinges did you use for the cabinet's bottom doors?

Thank you

I used Blum compact 38N compact Euro style hinges, screw in, 1/2" overlay.
I buy these in lots of 50 and have literally used several hundreds of them.
Lifetime warranty and this batch cost me $1.28 per hinge. Smaller
quantities from my supplier are $1.82, IIRC

That's a heckuva lot of pegs you've got there. It has a certain
medieval quality to it when it's open. They never expect the Spanish
Inquisition.

Remember, I did not build that portion, the customer supplied that.

But yes when I had it laying down on its back side you were instantly
reminded of one of those bed of nails when you opened the doors.

I have to think the maker probably used some style of gang boring accessory
on his DP. There are in excess of 400 dowels.

Actually, it doesn't take too long to drill the holes, using a simple jig. My thread racks have about 250 pegs, angled 15 degrees, so the spools don't easily slide off. My dowels aren't glued in, either, which makes for easy replacement if one breaks. They're 3/16" in diameter, small enough to hold bobbins, also, under the large (same color thread) spool. A neighbor does alterations, uses smaller spools, than I. I made her rack, also, a couple hundred pegs.... however many fit onto the allotted space. Open front (no doors), wall mounted framed rack, not cabinet type racks.

I've made 3 for myself, about 250 pegs total. One for my neighbor, with at least 200 pegs. One for my sister, with about 150 pegs. One each for 2 upholstery school classmates, with about 75 pegs each. All pegs angled.

Great workmanship! I don't see why the spool cabinet and the bookcase
needed to be physically attached, but I suppose one shouldn't argue
with the customer bout what they want!

I won't go into detail about what I learned from your photos--but I did.

Not sure why you would not see why they would be attached, the spool
cabinet would easily topple over when you open the doors.

It basically sets on top of the front step and both the spool cabinet and
step up are attached to the upper back cabinet, back cab attached to lower
cab. The upper back cab will be anchored to the wall

This is a lady is a quilter, the top back cabinet will house a portable
ironing board, cutting mats and cutting rules.

FWIW the upper cabinet has 4 doors, 2 on the ends and 2 around the
corners from the ends, on the front, just beside the spool cabinet. The
unit will set in the corner against a wall just inches wider than the
cabinet. Therefore I added the front door on the left front as the left
side door will probably not ever be used because of the side wall
restriction. If the cabinet is ever moved to another location the left
side door might possibly be used. And it looks better being symetrical.
;~)

Oh and FWIW, the back upper cabinet is open all the way through, from
side to side.

I have now finished adding the backs and door pulls and the unit is
ready for delivery.

I added a couple of pictures showing what most hide, the back side. I
started using back face frames on all of my cabinets about 18 months ago
and while similar to the front face frames the back face frame joints
are rabbet on rabbet reinforced with floating tenon's/Domino's.
This rabbet on rabbet joint naturally forms a rebate/recess all the way
around the in side back of the face frame that accepts the 1/4" back
panels. It makes for a very clean looking back and probably doubles the
cabinet's resistance to rack. So far I have built 34 front and back
face frames for 17 cabinets in the last 18 months.

Looks nice. I think I would have put on 4 legs on the bottom -
maybe half circles cut out of he side feet. Likely it will have
feet to keep it from rocking or such.

That suggestion was offered but declined by the customer. The wide side
legs have another function of hiding from side view the stuff that will be
stored on the floor.

One thing that I could suggest as an improvement would to put a

switch on the internal dust cover door that has to be swung open to change

blades. It is hard for me to remember to close it and sawdust goes

everywhere inside when I forget. If the saw motor cover door or the belt

access door are left open the saw will not start. I think the same should

be true for that dust cover.


Hmm, I wonder is the pro model different. I change the blades form the top, no side door to open. Do you maybe mean the access door to set the clearance of the brake? I did that once and it works for every blade so far.

I change the blade from the top too but between the end of the arbor,
the end that receives the blade and nut, to the plastic swing door that
helps contain the dust there is about 1" clearance. I can't put my hand
down there to remove or replace the arbor nut without opening that cover
door. Not talking external doors.

If yu look at this first picture you will see the cover door in the
close position, it is directly above the dust hose. It has a single
hinge bolt on the front just to the left, in the picture, of the top of
the dust hose.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb1121...n/photostream/

In this second picture you see the cover door opened at about a 30
degree angle. This is the door that I often forget to close after
changing blades. BTW the yellow bolt just behind the arbor is the one I
adjust the brake clearance with.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb1121...n/photostream/

I have resorted to immediately opening the outer motor cover door when
I open the dust cover door to remove the blade. This prevents the saw
from starting until I close it. When I close it I remember to check the
cover door.










On the industrial you have access to the brake adjustment hex bolt by
simply removing the throat plate.
