Can you explain why it has two cutter positions? When do you want to us the rear position and when do you want to use the bull-nose position?

If the rabbet you are planing goes to the edge of the board, the normal position works fine. If, on the other hand, you want the rabbet to stop short of the edge, the bull nose position allows planing to a vertical saw cut to stop the rabbet.

The regular position is the rear position that use ro make rabbets (simular to a router). The front position is used when uou need to finish square corners.

The front position is for planning and cleaning up stop rabbits. This forward position is not as easy to use as the regular position because it does not have a depth adjustment for the blade at the front. The rear or "regular position" is for making a regular rabbit, this position is also handy for cleaning up larger tenons. Hope this helps you out Pierce!

If the tilt is the wrong direction then cut from the opposite direction. I really love the cordless saw .I might use it as often as my corded saw. Allen R.

My response to your questions is: I haven't tried it that way yet. I didn't realize it can go 3 different ways to drag until I read some more reviews more carefully yesterday. I tired it smooth side, and tines going back side. Didn't try the tines forward way and don't think for our property sake it will work correctly because lots of rocks are mixed in deeply with the soil. I think from just using it the 1st time, for me the drag corners tend to flip over - from going to fast and possible flipping from bigger rocks when I used it. I think it will for my intended uses take some time using it for what a harrow is designed to do. My response to your questions is: I haven't tried it that way yet.

When I built my heavy duty cross cut sled I used one of the kreg mitre bar the tight fit made it so I did not have to use the other slot. Some mitre sleds they use a hard wood runner I was going to use a 1/4" x 3/4" bar stock from Home depot but the bar stock was not perfectly straight so I did not use it. The cross cut sled still cuts straight and it was not an issue. If you feel the need two put two on it will make it superior or buy one and use a hardwood runner.

If you don't cut it, you'll have an awkward turn, it's not really made for turns. If I were you, I'd cut it and solder a small piece of low voltage wire to connect the two halves.

Yes to both. I have had two. Accidentally left last one on my trade in (road king for new road glide). It can go as low or all the way up to middle of back. It makes a world of difference. Hope this helps.

Hello Everyone!Thank you all so much for the great answers and taking time to answer J. Algers question! All of your answers have great techniques to make the trimming process easy and simple as it should be. The technique that Dave posted about scoring the panel on both sides really stood out to us because it sounds like such a great idea to make the trimming process even easier. Again, we thank you all for your great answers...We wish you many happy skies! :)

I think a narrower nose piece is desirable, especially if you are nailing in tight corners. However, the larger nose piece is very stable and effective. Based on the overall construction of this nail gun I prefer it to Bostitch, Hitachi and Porter-Cable.

I had to think about this one for awhile. The cutter head will not cut backwards. It only cuts in one direction of rotation. This is because the individual blades are mounted on a individual studs machined onto the axle. The blades are mounted such that the rear of the blade is nestled against a retainer and the cutting edge (front) overhangs the stud so that it can bite into the wood.

There's a safety you need to pivot down(?) while squeezing to remove the pressure. You can see the safety on the bottom in the picture on this item between the lower handle and the point where the two halves meet.

I assume that the yellow section you refer to is the cutting head. If the head is locked down, it really shouldn't move. Assuming that the gears, chains and bearing are okay, my intuition would be that you're doing too big of a cut in a single pass or this is a first pass on a board that has too much thickness variation. If that doesn't seem to be the case, I'd bet it's worn out bearings. I don't use that machine anymore, but I always have a spare set of bearing because that go out fairly frequently. If I recall, they aren't too expensive and you can easily replace them yourself if you're somewhat mechanically inclined. You should be able to visually inspect them. Instead of be perfectly round they become somewhat oblonged.

In the lower position it trenches (deeper cut), in the upper position it edges (shallow cut). You can also adjust the wheel depth for a deeper or lower cut.

The cutter head holds two pieces of string that you load one at a time. It is not bump to feed. I HATE the bump to feed systems. This single piece loader head is much better

For a simple response, the straight side is the cutting side. But in actuality, both side are wavy as the blade dips up and down because it is a mulching blade.

I saw your question and am using mine now, it works well in either position. I usually use mine in the horizontal, which stays upright just great.

I had the same saw, I had to re drill and tap the rails and add supports to the side wings. But it was the best money I spent on a fence, I have since moved it to a 1953 delta unisaw. If you can drill and tap buy it and don't look back!
