I see. My saw is going to be the do all saw in the garage, as soon as I get the fence from Arthur Fuege. I've got a loaner motor on it right now. I've been looking for an old GE or a Howell to run the saw, you wouldn't happen to have any spares, would you?
Mine runs about 2450 so I can put the 20" on when needed. Have you ran any 12" blades on it? I'm a little concerned with the rim speed on my dado set mostly in plywood and laminates.
@morpheusduvall I've only run the two blades that are on it so far. I have two other table saws set up currently and one I leave a 12" solid (not stack or wobble) dado head on. I also use the pin router for a lot of my dados and rabbets. I almost never use plywood or laminates. I work almost exclusively with hardwoods.
@morpheusduvall I did the calculations once. I think its somewhere around 2600. The motor is a 1200 rpm and the pulley is roughly twice that of the arbors.
@73SDR The shiny blade is basically new. It's a Freud ripper that hasn't seen any miles. The other blade, the cross cut, is an older one with a triple chip grind.

I like the linkage for drawing the sliding table out, my Oliver requires you pull it out by hand. Whats the arbor speed, about 2900?

How is it that one of those blades is as shinny as a mirror?
