Hey all. It's been a while since my last posting but it's been a trying month for the wife and myself. Between a bad back acting up again and us quitting smoking, I haven't been in the mood for much other than eating black licorrice sticks and sleeping. But I have been using my Bosch RA 1170 table whenever I feel kinda pain-free for some projects. Here's a question for you:
If I have a spiral bit installed and am wanting to make dados and also just barely "kiss" the edges of the boards to square them up, how do you go about aiming the spiral bit for this? A regular 1/2 straight bit is no problem to position (or your work positioned in relation to the blade) but I can't seem to find a way to aim this spiral thing without taking too much. Any tricks?
Oh, about squaring boardsd with a table, I took a hint from one of PAtrick Spielman's books about a fixture that rides in the miter slot. I'll splain later on the "table Mounted" forum.
Thanks in advance.
