Yes, and I see Herb has the same one. Second question: Yes. But it will only bring the blade as far as just barely inside the edge of the wheel, not to the center. I can just barely feel the tips of the teeth when I run my finger on the front of the wheel. When I was putting the blade back on, I set the blade on the center of both wheels, do the rotation of the wheel, and the blade walks to the edge of the bottom wheel, where the teeth are just even with the edge (and only on the bottom wheel.) On the top wheel, the blade sits perfect. Frustrating to say the least. Stick was great, walking me through this nightmare, and talking me through it. I only wish we could have video called, so he could see it as it was happening.
lol I just realized that one of my empty bottles of beer I was drinking yesterda is sitting on the cabinet portion of said desk (It's a 3-pc where the two cabinet portions with drawers are separate.)
We'd never get along lol You're too neat and orderly LOL Of course, I get mad at Ken for just throwing things around, like yesterday; he needed the air hose to blow out the bug zappers. He came over to my desk, took the air hose off the hook on the side of my desk, walked outside, blew off the bug zappers, to come back to the door, and toss the nozzle just inside the door.... I wanted to scream "NOW THAT'S NOT WHERE YOU FOUND THE M FIN' AIR HOSE, IS IT!" But I not-so-calmly walked over to the door when I needed it to blow off my sign, picked it up off the floor, and took it back to where it came from.Herb Stoops wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 10:56 pm
After I finish every project, I put all the tools back where they belong before I start a new one, and tidy up the shop. Then do it all over again.

You'll notice I have a retractable up on the wall... I hate it. One: it leaks. Two: It Leaks Three: It's a pain to get it to stay still, it's on the wrong side of the shop and it can't be moved because that's the only place I have for the air compressor.Herb Stoops wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 3:41 pm . My air hose is on a retractable reel and I have 4 plex outlets on the ceiling every 8' ,4' apart so that I can make a drop anywhere in the shop without using cords..

The lower wheel is adjusted with the 4 bolts on the outside...the upper and lower bolt tilts the wheel in and out while the two horizontal bolts tilt the wheel left and right (as you look at it from the open door side). The adjustment is very critical and I hesitate explaining it to you but it takes whatever you do to the upper bolt, you do the opposite with the lower bolt (we're talking 1/8 of a turn on the bolts makes a difference). If you call WEN they might walk you through it or they might tell you it's a factory adjustment. Not doing the adjustment properly will leave you in worse shape than you're in now. If we were closer I would do it for you...(my Rikon needed same adjustment when I got it). I suggest giving WEN a call...OutoftheWoodwork wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 1:47 pmYes, and I see Herb has the same one. Second question: Yes.

You're quite the comedian! LOL Ken's done with it, and refuses to touch the adjustments, and told me last night "that blade comes off, and you're on your own!" I laughed at him and said "who do you think got it on this time!?" (Well, with the help of Stick, but still.... AND I used the adjustment on the back, thank you very much! Well, now that I did that part....)Nickp wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 6:41 pm @OutoftheWoodwork
If you and Ken want to take a shot at adjusting the lower wheel, I've attached a PDF with pictures...
