Miter-Pro questions

[fixit]

...Your earlier post reminded me of one of my favorite cartoons. Picture a guy standing in front of an awful - uneven - leaning bookshelf. The caption says "His bookcase finished, Chuck only has to complete a million more projects to justify the cost of his tools?...

I wrote off the cost of my Shopsmith on the FIRST project I made - a frame to hold the certificate I received when I took the basic woodworking class at the Shopsmith store (yes my machine is that old!) where I bought it. That $1,300 frame still hangs in my shop. LOL:D

Hi,

The latest update is I have an RMA number and this one is going back and a new one is coming... and someone is going to look at it before it gets shipped. I'm hoping this is going to make me happy.

And, just to be clear the burr is on the edge towards the table and would be scaping the wax off the table top mode. A standard note on drawings is "break sharp edges" How ever if this was once a anodized part the finish tends to build at these locations and everything would have been fine... Now I guess but if and when going to a brushed finish this area should have been "fixed" with a note on the drawing to break the edge.

Chuck, yes I have seen the Rockler version, and I also noted that the shopsmith one has "patent pending". Wonder what the status of that is?

My first projects were all jigs out of PTWFE so I guess I have some expensive jigs over on the shelf with my old 500 parts. Well only $745 of them, if I recall the sale price at the time I got mine.

Anyway I like the prospective you have!

I've had my Miter-Pro since the late 80's. Does a patent really take that long?:rolleyes:
