Tablesaw Wire Wheel Redux

Dec 11, 2004 4 Replies

Folks -



Put down your remote controls, I didn't put the wire wheel on the tablesaw. I ended up finishing things with the lathe, without incedent. About half of you thought it would be okay, half of you thought it would be insulting to the saw (these kinda choked me up, you guys know how to hurt a guy) about a third of you wanted to know what the hell I was doing to good redwood and about a quarter of you wanted to know what I'd been drinking.



China headed you all off at the pass. I *thought* that the wheel was good for 6,000 RPM... I was correct... The worn out wheel that was good for 6,000 rpm, got tossed out last month. The *new* wheel, with either a picture of Homer Simpson, or perhaps some guy wearing safety goggles, was only good for



3,750 rpm... The arbor speed of the General is 4,000 rpm, and I didn't trust Ch John Moorhead

I can safely go out in the local gravel pit and bang a few shells of birdshot into my new Levi jeans...all is well...

Might I suggest not wearing them at the time?

Had I only know that when I was 'antiquing' my ball cap...

But I haven't run any experiments to check.
