David Ivy Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 I am looking to replace a motor in my mini table saw. It is a 4 inch harbor freight mighty mite. I want to use it to cut fret slots faster, but I Boggs down cutting hard wood. I am using a jewelers blade. When I did use it to cut fret slots I had to go back with a hand fret saw to cut them in deeper. Can any one help??? Thanks in advance, David Ivy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADFinlayson Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 I wonder if a lot of that trouble will also be down to the size of the blade, even a 7" blade in my kitty can struggle with ebony, I just do the slots in two passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ivy Posted April 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 @ADFinlayson I am thinking it is pushing the wood across the blade. I have a friend who is going to try to help me rig a way to use the saw like a radial saw or a mitter saw. To pull the saw across the wood rather than the wood across the blade. Maybe that will keep it from bogging down the blade. Thanks for your helpful comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
