    Haven't contacted Jim, I'll probably just get a new belt. Thanks for the reply Pat.

    I think I need to replace or tighten my belt. Can it be tightened, or do I have to get a new one?

    Hi Julie Mo. The Byrnes saw does a great job ripping 1/42" veneer. I start with a zero clearance insert with a fine tooth blade and a metal ruler clamped to the fence to stop the veneer from sliding under. I also removed the blade guard and use the end of it keep the veneer from riding up the blade. This is the blade I used. It's 63mm (diameter) x .2mm (kerf) with a 16mm or 5/8" arbor. You also need an arbor adapter that you can buy from Jim. The strip is 2 mm wide. I don't get any binding doing it this way. I'm using a slitting blade so the teeth are the same kerf as the blade part, so the blade isn't necessarily the problem you're facing. Are you using anything on your fence so the wood doesn't get under? Here is a pic of the two ends together to show the accuracy across the length of the strip. The saw can cleanly cut miters even on a strip this small.

    How long do slitting blades generally last? I have to sharpen mine (by hand) frequently.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
