    I do colored epoxy inlays frequently. often with multiple colors. One of the things I have learned is that if you seal the pockets with a white pigmented wood sealer. This gives a much more accurate color (similar to the color in the mixing cup). Without the white background, the poured epoxy reflects the color of the wood behind it. This process also prevents color bleed of the epoxy into the grain of the wood.

THEN I set it aside with the screws sitting in the sprockets in their original orientation just so I'd know how they're supposed to be reinstalled. I did ALMOST forget transferring that spacer-washer behind the large belt pulley.

    There is something wrong with the pricing. It's not acceptable. The technology cost pennies to produce. Modern circuit boards are not expensive, and there are no rare metals or hard to produce parts on a Saw Stop saw. The fact that they are almost 3 times more expensive than a comparable saw without the $20 worth of electronics, is unacceptable. The worst part is that the patent laws prevent any other company from creating their own version of blade stop technology. Bosch perfected a gas cartridge system that snapped the blade down quickly, and due to Saw Stop's lawyers (presumably) Bosch had to stop building their technology. In what world is it ok to prevent other companies from creating their own life saving technology? Stopping a blade is not some small thing, it's a matter of life or death. And no patent should be capable of blocking safety features on any piece of equipment, under any circumstances. This is a case where the government needs to do their job, and they need to actually set an expiration date for the Saw Stop patents due to National Interest. The government has apparently taken away at least 5,000 patents from their respective owners when the patent deals with something that has profound implications for day to day life, so there is already a well established precedent. But in this case, they need to make the patents open source, and prevent any company from holding a monopoly over "machinery safety features." This is a case where there is actually a good reason for the government to take the patent away, because Saw Stop is actively preventing other companies from offering an affordable product. Saw Stop saws are not affordable for the general public. Table saws are the single most dangerous piece of equipment ever created by man, and it it should be legal mandate that all new table saws must include some form of an electronic "flesh sensing technology." If someone wants a saw without the technology, they can flip a switch and shut it off. But it should be legally required to be included on all new table saws. Saw Stop is going about this the wrong way, and unfortunately karma is going to get them in the end. Karma is a real thing, we've seen it with GM and Chrysler, and many other companies. Viciously attacking other competitors who make a similar but sufficiently different technology that helps prevent injuries (Bosch) is not good business, it's just malicious. Allowing all the companies to have their own version of the technology would drastically reduce the cost, without putting anyone out of business.

    Very nice job. Here a question that I haven't found an answer to. Could you have applied a stain to the box after you sanded the Epoxy flat and then apply a finish. I am making a Maple Table that I want a Black Epoxy Compass Rose ,CNC into, but I want the surrounding wood stained to match the interior of a RV Van. What do you think?

  • @AftonWoodworks

Too bad you got some off the negative comments that you did but I guess it goes with the territory. Personally I think some things are better left unsaid. What I picked up on you in your first video was that you are a person that is very attentive to detail. I imagine that’s a quality that shines through on your projects. I appreciate the heads-up on hole alignment with the stand. I’ll keep any eye out for it when I assemble my saw. Happy woodworking to you!

    Tools that can produce similar end products for sure, but the GF is definitely better for those detailed panels. Where the SO shines is in larger applications. I just cut 256, 20mm dog holes (96mm OC), on a 4’x8’ sheet of MDF. I used a 1/4” shank, 1/2” diameter double flute bit in “Helix” mode and I was able to cut all 256 holes accurately in a couple hours. This is very difficult to do using a drill and a PARF system - definitely not doable in 2 hours. Anyway, I like your video. Keep up the good work sir.
