Automated table saw fence...

Now all I need is for someone to invent sheets of plywood that will climb on the table saw by themselves and we as woodworkers should be all set!

So my weekend in workshop started normally yesterday. all I had to do was quickly build two columns for extended portion of the island to support countertop overhang. I picked up quarter sheet of maple plywood I had leftover from previous project. all I needed was 8 3-1/2" wide strips with 45 degree miter on edges. easy peasy, right?

Wrong!! dead wrong!.

My first cut, saw started smoking. I mean literally blue smoke coming out from blade cavity. my first thought was to cuss myself for being lazy and not cleaning insides of the saw cabinet. so stop everything, open the cabinet, vacuum out the sawdust .. and not gonna lie, there was a lot. this old saw I have isn't exactly known for it's stellar dust collection. alrighty... so take off the 80 tooth plywood blade, put on 20 tooth rip blade just for test. I know edge will not be glue ready, but I just want to know if it's blade.. even after all this, as soon as I start miter cut, saw starts smoking again. at this stage, I didn't think setting fire to your house for the sake of woodworking is a good idea and decided to change how I am going to build columns. they are going to be painted anyways... so break out biscuit jointer, do straight rip cuts to get 4 sides of the columns and I finally managed to get column finished before 8 pm. Now columns just need some trim work and then I will move on to building doors & drawers.

Went out today and tore down the saw to figure out what is going on, turns out that when saw motor is hanging down at 45 degrees, belts slip. so now I need 3 new belts and I am going to have to take couple of days to tear down, clean and realign the saw. oh well... atleast it was simple fix, time consuming... but simple..I guess I better order length of link belt.
