This is not a hate blog or a troll blog. We’re not interested in bringing down the entire Dutch Angel Dragon concept, starting a harassment campaign against any one person in particular, or telling Deanna Biesemeyer what she is and isn’t allowed to do with the fictional creatures she’s created.

Our goal is to present evidence of community members displaying behavior that’s harmful or hypocritical, and ideally, relatively recent. In addition, our server has always been a place where those who’ve been burned by the community can come, share their stories, and make characters however they choose; this blog is an extension of that.

We’re not out to destroy anyone. But we’re also not going anywhere.

Understanding Table Saw Terminology

   If you're in the market for a table saw, you'll have a number of options and features to consider. To make the best decision, a basic understanding of the "inner workings" of this woodshop standard is essential. Below, I'll describe the primary table saw components, what makes them important, and what to look for when it comes time to buy. The Table Saw Base - More Than Just a Firm Footing Beginning at the bottom, the table saw base houses the working parts of the saw, including the trunnions, the arbor assembly, the sector gears, and sometimes the motor. On some saws, the base is a "cabinet" type, meaning that a fully enclosed base extends all the way to the floor. Other saws have an open base, meaning that the base consists of a metal box that surrounds the internal working parts of the saw on four sides, but not the bottom. Open base saws have legs that extend downward from the bottom of the base to the floor. A few recent additions to the table saw market combine features of cabinet-base saws and open-base saws. These "hybrid" saws have both a completely enclosed base and legs. The small, enclosed base of the hybrid saw promotes dust collection and limits noise. A popular choice for hobbyist and small professional shops, hybrid table saws are also lighter and more affordable than traditional cabinet table saws.  If you cherished this article and you also would like to receive more info about Table Saw nicely visit our own website. Table Saw Motor, Trunnions, and Arbor Assembly The motor, trunnions, arbor assembly, and gearing make up the essential mechanical components of the saw. These quality and robustness of these components varies considerably and can greatly impact the durability of the saw, its capacity for cutting heavy stock and its ability to stay in adjustment and hold settings. Most table saws - other than small bench top models - are equipped with induction type motors in the 1 - 5 HP range. On larger saws, you'll most often find a "totally enclosed, fan cooled" (TEFC) induction motor. A TEFC motor is designed for continuous duty and is sealed against dust and other contaminants - a significant advantage in a woodshop. Saws specifically designed for hobbyists and home use are usually outfitted with motors under 3 HP and can be operated on standard 110 volt residential circuitry. In general, motors in this class are powerful enough for routine cutting of sheet goods and hardwoods up to 1'' thick. Professional-class saws, on the other hand, have motors in the 3- 5 HP range and require a 220 volt power supply. Motors in this category are designed to stand up to hours of continuous duty, and have enough power to cut thick, heavy hardwood stock without bogging down. The The Table Surface and Extension Wings The quality of the table saw surface (or "bed") is extremely important to the overall performance of the machine. The table surface needs to be reliably flat and rigid to properly support the workpiece during a cut. As one of the most massive parts of the saw, the table surface also plays a major role in absorbing vibration. Because of the need for mass, rigidity and flatness, cast iron is the material of choice for the top of a table saw. On a quality saw, the table is made using a hefty quantity of cast iron and state-of-the-art foundry methods. The end result of the casting process is then precision ground to flatness in the .0005'' tolerance range. Many table saws can be purchased with optional extension wings. Table extension wings bolt on to the right and left sides of the table and increase the surface area of the saw to help support wide stock and sheet materials. On a heavy duty stationary saw, the extensions are usually cast iron, while on smaller saws, they may be made of lighter stamped steel or the lighter "webbed" style of cast iron. One drawback of lighter-weight table extensions is that they have less mass, and the overall mass of the saw is what soaks up the vibration crated by the motor and other moving parts. The added mass of heavy cast iron extension wings decreases vibration, which in turn helps the saw stay in calibration, and also helps it stay planted firmly on the shop floor. On less expensive saws, extensions made of stamped metal, or ones that aren't precision ground, can also compromise the overall flatness of the table surface. The Rip Fence and Rails The rip fence guides the wood as it is being ripped (cut along its length) and can be positioned to any width of cut within the saw's range. The fence rides on fence rails attached to the front and rear edge of the table. Ideally, the system keeps the fence perfectly parallel to the plane of the blade, regardless of where the fence is positioned. The quality and accuracy of fence systems, however, varies greatly across the spectrum. The quality of a table saw's fence system is an extremely important consideration: A poorly designed or inaccurate fence greatly diminishes the quality and accuracy of the cut, and can be a source of significant frustration. For saws in the price range of most hobbyists, the famous Biesemeyer T-square fence design sets the standard. Fortunately, many smaller, more affordable saws come standard with a reasonably accurate system patterned after the tried and true Biesemeyer design. The Miter Gauge Most table saws use the miter gauge and miter slot system to allow for crosscutting. A miter gauge consists of a cast metal protractor head attached to a length of metal bar. The bar rides in corresponding "miter slot" in the table saw's surface. Protractor on the "no frills" miter gauges that come with most table saws can be set to crosscut stock at any angle between 90 and 30 degrees and, if well made, do a serviceable job with most "routine" crosscutting. One of the more useful add-ons for just about any table saw is either an upgraded system offered by the manufacturer, or an aftermarket miter gauge or crosscutting sled. These tools provide, in various combinations, repeatable incremental angle positioning, longer fences, stop blocks and other advanced features that can come in handy in projects that call for precision crosscutting.

What you need to know for Saturday, Feb. 10

USA TODAY Sports

The 2018 Winter Olympics are in full force with five medal events during Saturday’s action in South Korea. We’re here to catch you up on what you missed — and what to watch for throughout the day. 

WHAT YOU MISSED

The first medals of the 2018 Winter Olympics were awarded Saturday in five events during the first full day of competition in Pyeongchang. Here’s a look at the winners, as well as other notable action from Saturday:  

MEDALS

Women’s cross-country 15K skiathlon: Charlotte Kalla of Sweden became the Games’ first gold medalist of 2018. Silver medalist Marit Bjoergen of Norway also made history. Bjoergen’s second-place finish made her the most decorated female Winter Olympian of all time with her 11th overall medal.

Men’s 1,500m short track speedskating: Lim Hyo-jun took gold, winning the host nation its first medal of the Games.

Women’s 3,000m speed skating:  The Netherlands swept the podium with Carlijn Achtereekte (gold), Ireen Wuest (silver) and Antoinette De Jong (bronze).   

Women’s biathlon: Laura Dahlmeier (Germany) wins, followed by Marte Olsbu (Norway) and Veronika Vitkova (Czech Republic) 

Men’s ski jumping (normal hill): TBD, currently airing on NBCOlympics.com

Other action of note: 

Women’s ice hockey – The unified Korean team played its first game of the Olympics against Switzerland. The Swiss were out to a 5-0 lead in the second period. 

STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW

– Skiing superstar Mikaela Shiffrin said Saturday she might compete in all five Alpine events.

– In the ongoing saga surrounding Adam Rippon and Vice President Mike Pence, Rippon’s agent said Saturday that he was told Pence “wanted to have a direct conversation on the phone with Adam as soon as it could possibly be arranged” after the publication of a USA TODAY Sports story Jan. 17 in which Rippon, who is openly gay, was critical of Pence.

– In snowboard slopestyle, the U.S. needs to find some creativity on the rails.

– We’ve all seen the Tonga flag bear who walks around shirtless. But can you find him on Twitter? These folks found an NFL player instead.

– MEET TEAM USA: Get to know every American athlete 

What to watch Saturday night

Snowboard slopestyle: 17-year-old Red Gerard is the only American to reach the final. He finished third among the field of 18 riders in the second round of qualifying. He was behind Canadians Max Parrot and Mark McMorris. Gerard is considered one of the best up-and-coming riders in the sport.

Figure skating: The team event continues with short programs for women and dance along with the pairs free skate. Maia and Alex Shibutani, the Shib Sibs, will compete in the ice dance program. Bradie Tennell, the U.S. champion will skate her short program and the husband and wife team of Alexa-Sciemca Knierim and Chris Knierim will represent the USA in pairs. The Knierims saved the U.S. team’s medal chances in the short program Friday.

Alpine skiing: The men’s downhill is the first Alpine event. Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal, a three-time Olympic medalist, is a favorite. He won silver in the event in 2010.
