I have a really nice Nobex rig, about 20 years old-no rust, has little use.
My wife and I used it years ago to put up some small molding way before I ever got into WW formally. did a great job with that flimsy 1" judges paneling molding.
But-to cut some hardwood today about 3" wide-totally unsatisfactory.
The Nobex fence is maybe 1 1/2" tall. Of course the stock clamp system sucks.
The saw-am not sure how to tension it.
So, I put it back up, and made my own out of a 2x6, some 1/2 BB, and my TS for kerf cuts. It sucked, too.
Out of all the hand tools, that I have, I can't believe that I don't have a decent saw w fine crosscut teeth and a 4" deep blade.
Maybe I don't need such a saw, cause the wood will be refined on a donkey ear/shoot board---7tpi saw is good enough?
I tried cutting free hand-I screwed that up as well. (I don't want to use my TS for this.)
I looked @ MF, Langdon Miter boxes. From what I see, they are like my Nobex, with a better fence.
So my questions are:
How do you all compensate for the low fence on the Nobex, and how to determine saw tension?
And, how to make a small simple 45* miter box that will support 3 1/2" of saw height?
Should I just spend the $25 on Amazon Stanley plastic one?
Are Derek and Ian going to show us museum-quality miter boxes?
As Always, thanks for your help. D
