slept great. woke up early and did some rowing and weights. chinese parts ordered for my chinese bike which cost more than the rest of the frame. now we're here.
Was tuning the sliding miter saw last night and had to throw in the towel. It'll cut square to the fence at 90*, but tilted at 45* it's 1/16" off across a 10" span. UGH.
does.not.make.sense

Slept ok. Up at 5 for first dose of coffee.
Trying a yoga class tonight for the first time. Don’t mind the gray haired ogre in the back of class farting with an awkward boner.
Do you have snow cover or still on dirt?Going north to get a tooth extracted. Raining. looks like some snow coming in a few days.
Dog was giving herself a bath at 3:00 this morning, which is annoying as hell when you are trying to sleep. Anyway, I turned off the 5:00 alarm and slept in for a couple more hours. I'll hit up the local reservoir for a run on my way home from work this afternoon.
I've got a three hour meeting on my calendar to "MEET THE AUDITORS!!" this morning and get a coffee and bagel. LMAO like I'm going to attend that horseshit.

Dirt, dirt, and more dirt. Snow maybe comes back starting Thursday night.
Wet and messy here. I have to drive in the city this afternoon to pick up my passport that finally arrived at the honorary consulate, so I have that going for me. It only took four months.
Only things I can figure at this point are a warped casting or perhaps the weight of the head is flexing the chassis at full extension. Otherwise, I have no more adjustments at my disposal.
It's been hell trying to get tight fitting copes and miters without a lot of futzing, which makes my life miserable as I've got lots of baseboards, crown, and trim work in my future.
Saw some pics of Waterbury trails and they seemed to have snow. You're much closer to lake Champlain I gather?
Baseboards and crowns too high to cut at 45 on the fence?
Cold and clear this morning. However it is supposed to rain again starting tonight. This weekends horse show got canceled because the arenas are mud bogs. The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend and a couple of lakes are reachable and should be fishable so I may go and try out my new fly rod.
slept in a bit. heading for l'aeropuerto. not much else to report. hoping to keep friday clear for a ride in the hills.
No, I can cut upright and will have to going forward, it's just killing me that I can't get square cuts in all orientations.
what model saw?
also, whatever guide/rail that the cutting head adjusts on is probably misaligned if its straight at 90 but not 45
Bosch 5412L. It was their flagship sliding compound 15 years ago but has since been eclipsed by the glide style.
Inherited from my dad. He takes good care od his stuff though so I'm not inclined to think this is abuse related.
Back from Jackson. @Full Trucker and I got a bit skunked on snow conditions but much fun was had, and @rideit and his Mrs. were most gracious hosts. Best part? I ate a slice of gas station pizza and didn't shit my pants. #winning
Back to the grind ova here. More coffee and some breakfast first.

Hanging out with the tiny one and drinking coffee at the moment. Taking the kids to school in about an hour, work eventually.
work from office day today. rode in. it's a "wintery mix of precipitation", which translated to 1.5" of firm slush on the ground. not bad, but not great either. the $20 v-brakes I got off amazon and that I installed on Monday worked great though. they retract properly so the wheel can spin freely. amazing.
I don't think that I slept much last night, so I'm thankful that I can work from home today.
Its full out raining here....again
Much closer to the lake and lower in elevation, maybe 300'. The Perry Hill stuff gets up around 1,000'.
Can you Add/Reduce a 1/16 + to get there? Does not fix the problem but will it work?

Avy
Sometimes castings can warp when they get machined, much like a piece of wood. The balance of internal stresses gets uh, unbalanced.
I know, I'm just surprised that it's such a large amount over such a short span and there's no adjustment to correct. Perhaps my expectations are too high.
Morning Monkeys.
The dog started at 3, so I let them out and went back to bed. Able to sleep until 4:30 before the cat came in soaked. It was dry on walkies, so that's all that matters. It's only Wednesday? Fack.

Also the question of what might have warped and why it's not evident.
@Adventurous you should just buy a Festool Kapex and be done with it. That way you can satisfy your craving for accuracy and high end gadgets while simultaneously preventing yourself from purchasing anymore expensive knives for a while, a long while.
Funny you say that, I was perusing the Kapex this morning, though I seem to recall reading a not so insignificant number of folks dissatisfied with theirs for varying reasons. Stuff breaking, hard to source replacement parts, inaccuracy, all issues you wouldn't expect out of a saw that costs that much.
I'll have to make some test cuts with my Dads Bosch glider next time I'm over their house, see how well it fairs.
It appears I've broken my pinky. Well it'll be taped up to the 4th finger for a while. I wonder how purple it's gonna turn.
In other news, don't run into objects that dont move.

Seems like sage advice.
