Wossit for ?
For making false teeth.
The teeth are held in the plaster, the wax is lost. The plastic is added. The press is used to form the final shape.
Then it is baked, the set removed and cleaned up.
Gross!!!!
No Claws on mine, but it did have the top guard/dust extractor which was attached to the top of the riving knife. I had a look and replacements were less than 20 quid so just modified the one that was fitted knowing I can replace it in the future.Great job, I've been meaning to make a sled for mine for a long time now,.....did your saw have the 'claws' either side of the blade? I'm guessing that it's OK to totally remove these? I can't recall seeing them in use once a sled is fitted??
The claws are to stop kickback as is the riving knife - be sure you know what you are doing if you remove either and or the guard. (Acceptable HSE in the states - but they have far more accidents than the uk!!)
Removing the claws is fine. Not a huge number of saws that come with them, that I've seen. Lots of yanks who remove the riving knife, I probably wouldn't.Yeah, I knew that the claws are to stop kickback, just know that some saws come with them and others don't, any idea why? Mines got the riving knife too.
I'm guessing that folk just remove them claws if they make/use a sledge, how advisable/safe is that, not sure??
I love bonsaiToday I tried to make this Abies look more like a Bonsai!!

Needed to calm down after a friend caused an "incident."
So I found this lump of wood in the bag of fire wood. Too good to burn.

The knot looks like an eye, the shape reminds me of "Glove" from the Yellow Submarine movie.

The Horse head is drinking teak oil like it is going out of fashion.
No. I don't know what I will do with them, yet.
But it was fun making them.
