Can you trust a DIY channel host who thinks a SCMS is a RAS??

Or work as an overarm router?

Or a drill press?

Or a rotary planer?

No, I think it was Norm. I recall the TS blade being set very low and the stock he used was more like 3X3. It was set at an angle to the blade and he explained that varying that angle would change the height dimension of the cove. He lacked the mitre fence in place and just puched the stock straight into the blade. Then he ripped the completed molding off the stock.

Did Norm ever nake a program of just little general woodworking "tips"? I think that would be worth keeping.

That was Nahrm, making a cove, not whomever it was making a bowl with plunge cuts.

This similar to last week's CSI Las Vegas where they pulled a crow bar from a trunk and kept calling it a tire iron throughout the show.

Or how about the mulberry tree they examined that looked suspiciously like a eucalyptus tree?

The technical screwups on CSI Los Vegas are legion.

In a recent episode of _Crossing Jordan_, set in Boston, the detective told the coroner he was going to Los Vegas to track down a suspect. The coroner said she was going with him. "Why?" he asked, "you hate Vegas." She replied, "If I have to rely on Los Vegas CSI, we'll never catch her."

The question should be what will a RAS will do that a CS or CMS or SCMS will not.

The differences are, 1, you can rip a board on a RAS, 2, you can rabbet a board on a RAS 3, You can cut a full sheet of plywood in half on a RAS , 4, You can drill holes on a RAS, 5, You can mold edges on a board on a RAS, to name a few.

I would have to say that Bruce Johnson's books were probably written in a manner similar to how you supplied this information about him. Copy and Paste. I have seen him on a couple of different shows and his demonstrations and results tend to be quite basic.

Absolutely not a mistake calling the SCMS a RAS. He does it time and again, over and over. He is ignorant.

I'll agree that rushing can cause mistakes but he makes this mistake over and over. I have never heard him refer to the SCMS or CMS as anything but a RAS.

of course.

The whomever was Tony Kramer. He made a disc, clamped a circular jig to the tablesaw and proceeded to spin the disc while raising the blade. Like driving past a car wreck I was horrified yet had to watch.

On 10/19/2005 5:50 PM Leon mumbled something about the following:

I've only seen him do it once, but then again, I've only seen 4 or 5 of his shows, since that's the only ones they keep repeating. I have my TiVo set to catch any that pop up, but can't seem to get any of them

Dados run accross the grain, by definition.

Actually with the grain is most often referred as a groove however by definition,

Meaning #3: a rectangular groove cut into a board so that another piece can fit into it

I do not watch him often as I still think he is nothing more than an actor regardless of his "woodworking" credentials. With that said, I have never heard the words Compound Miter saw or Sliding Compound Miter Saw come from his mouth. LOL.
