What's in the mail?

@woodtickgreg - Greg, please share a review of them after some good use. I'm interested to hear how they do (both cut quality and lifespan) compared to OEM knives. I'll be needing a set of knives for my 735 sometime in the not too distant future.

Will do, they cost slightly more but are supposed to wear better. I think I'll change them over tomorrow and then run an ash board through it to dimension it. That should be a good initial test. But time will tell. I use rough sawn wood almost exclusively so I use my planer a lot.

I changed to the Grizzly spiral head for my 735 and I’m happy with it. Cuts very smooth and significantly reduced the noise.

If my plan was to keep this planer I would do the same thing, and I almost did when you changed yours over. But after thinking about it I really want to upgrade to a larger planer with a spiral cutter head. So I don't want to put any more money into the dewalt than I have to other than maintenance.

I get that.
 
Whether you know it or not, Little Mikey's got this thing going on with birdseye. It jiggles his jowls! This is a piece of old growth redwood stump with birdseye. Don't think I've seen it before. About 18" x 1 3" x 2 1 /2" . Mikey likes!

I've got the same planer and been looking at those knives and also these which had a few referrals on Sawmill Creek

I've thought about doing it too but it's hard to justify spending more on the cutterhead than I did on the machine.
 
Over the past couple days I have been very happy to open the mailbox or find something on front porch. First, I am upgrading my rod building supplies. Very excited for this endeavor and really appreciate the encouragement form folks on here. And then, someone on this site gifted me something that I had forgotten we discussed. Can’t thank him enough and just proves haw great a place this is to hang out. Not to embarrass him, oh, heck yes, thanks @Mike Hill Mikey!!!

Oh Mikey that is not pretty enough for your wood stash as it doesn’t have enough “freckles”- send it to me instead as I can fit a guitar body out of it:wink:

Ok, it didn't come in the mail today but I went and picked it up. Been thinking about getting a small saw for months and found that this saw was on sale and was also in stock. I only do small stuff and have plans for some bird houses, some jigs and whatever around the shop here. My neighbor has one of these and it has worked out well for him. Something to look forward too this weekend.

Ok, I'm gonna ask what seems like a stupid question. The one at the big box does not have a fence, the pic on the box does not show a fence, the pics on the big box website does not show a fence and neither does the pics on amazon. Does it come with a fence?

It looks like its stored on the back of the saw at the top.

I have a stupid answer. I have not opened the box yet but my neighbors saw came with a fence. Worthless to me without one. The narrative online described a fence and how well it worked.

Understand Trev. In reality we will be assembling the saw together. She has helped with other equipment to include the Grizzly dust collector. A real asset she is. But she did tell me she could weld before we got married. I found out later she can't.
