    Saw blades should include plastic shims of the same kerf.

    • @gyixtao
      @gyixtao 6 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +3

      not a bad idea, but remember: every saw has a little wobble in the blade, so I find it unlikely it would be exact ENOUGH to make this work. Good test to run I suppose

  • @deziomakes
    @deziomakes 7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +5

    Tip: Most blades are usually 3mm or 3/32 or 1/8 thickness, so you probably already have a drill bit of a matching thickness to use as a shim.

    For setting the blade height, instead of iterative passes, I just count how many crank turns (including the fractional turn at the end) it takes to raise the blade from zero (raising the blade until it barely grazes a flat scrap of wood) to the thickness of the material (teeth barely grazing the same scrap overhanging from the top surface of the workpiece). Then I lower the blade by exactly half what I have counted.
    To cleanup any issues with slack, I end with a half turn of the crank down and then up again.

    Another technique I've used is to use an offcut of the piece you plan to join. Rip it and then glue it back together. The rip takes out one kerf width, and the little bit of glue adds just the right amount of extra space.

    One gripe I have about isotunes is the descriptions on their website. It’s really tough to differentiate between all the over the ear bud style options they offer. Not much can be learned from the product comparison feature.

  • @Gmoceanx
    @Gmoceanx 12 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +2

    This is nice and helps simplify tasks that I for sure was previously over complicating, but it would have been nice if you went a bit more into detail regarding the angled cuts. You mentioned it, the angle and such, but kind of just glossed over it. Given the video's purpose it's fine, just wish it was explained as that is newer information I would have liked to learn more sufficiently.

    • @StumpyNubs
      @StumpyNubs  10 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +2

      It's the same process, you just angle the miter gauge and cut the stop/shims to the same angle.

  • @patrickbink4617
    @patrickbink4617 11 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

    Have you got a video on making a finger joint jig? Had a relative call to see if I have one, which I just haven't gotten around to making one, so after 3-4 tries, he went to the woodworking store to buy one. I may have to save this video, as the last time I made lap joints, I did not have a reason to call my friends and say come look at my wood joint.

  • @TheCheeseBaron

    I use isotunes 8 hours a day in a large guitar woodshop. The orange ones have too short a battery life. After one and a half days use they are empty. My previous 3M ones I would only charge once a week. Also, the comfort isn’t there with the orange ones for longtime use. Sore ears at the end of the day. When these give it up, I’m switching back to 3M

    3:36 “it couldn’t be simpler and it’s virtually impossible to screw up.” Immediately followed by a cut that doesn’t line up with the mark on the wood. 😂

    • @StumpyNubs
      @StumpyNubs  7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      The mark on the wood is a relatively rough line made by a wide pencil lead tracing along the edge of the wood. If you're a woodworker, you know what I am talking about. How it goes together is what matters, and it fits... This isn't the gotcha you think it is.

    I wonder about the ISOtunes ads that appear. I own a oair of Sony bluetooth headphones that cover my ears and offer noise cancellation. These are over the ear phones.
    When I turn on the noise cancellation I hear verry little sound.
    At the same time, these sre excellent sounding headphones, in my opinion and rated as duch in reviews.
    What advantage eould ISOtunes headphones offer over these?
    I don't discount James' reciews and his desire to support family run businesses. But the frequency that James mentions ISOtunes makes me wonder if I am missing out somehow.
    Any thoughts, woodworkers?

    There is no need for your shim....Just mark the kerf of on your sled and align your marks with your piece. Plus in your first cut you were 1/16th off....maybe a 32nd. You usually have great tips, just not seeing how this is one.

  • @chazp3496
    @chazp3496 11 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

    I"m sure you know better but you said suggested something dangerous, "you can use your saw's rip fence as a stop block". I guess when you put the shim against it and then slide the miter gauge forward you leave a gap, just don't want people to think you can use the rip fence with the miter gauge normally.
