Thanks Mark for the close-up look at the old Crosby edger. Looks like a very sturdy piece of equipment that has stood the test of time and has paid for itself many times over. Still does a beautiful job of edging boards and maintains very good accuracy. That guy tailing the edger looks familiar for some reason. I know that I have seen him somewhere before. Anyway, are you still planning on doing any Friday Eve videos or is that on hold for the summer? Thanks again for the quick look at the edger in operation!

Good video, mark. One question - does the scale for the blade adjustment on the machine correspond to the fence engaged or flipped back out of the way? Bill

@lwilton

2 жыл бұрын

The board width is between where the fence is and where Mark sets the other blade with the scale. When the fence is down, only the right side of the board will be cut, like a normal table saw. When the fence is flipped up, any rough edge to the left of where the fence would be when it was down will also be cut off, thus edging both sides of the board at once. When you watched the video, you probably noticed that most of the boards had two scrap pieces, one for each side of the board. These were cut with the fence flipped up. A few only had a scrap cut off one edge (the edge closest to the camera). These were cut with the fence flipped down and the existing good edge of the board along the fence.
