Well, I've managed to complete the first three steps (of five) of the DIY adjustable comb riser installation. So far so good, I guess. Let's just say that now I know why Graco wanted $165 to do the job. The day started by running down to Sears to get a new band saw blade (a 1/8" 15 TPI scoll saw blade), since the one that was already on my dad's band saw was a rough cut blade (1/4" 5 TPI). Luckily it was in stock and I was off to my folk's house. Then It took me another hour to get it properly installed and setup. After a few test cuts it was do or die time. Overall the cut went pretty well, although I think there was a problem with the lower guides, as I noticed that the blade was walking some if I didn't keep enough pressure on the wood. The next step was to cut the inlay for the base plate, this was a total PITA and time consuming since It had to be done by hand using a chisel. Step three was to drill the holes in the comb for the posts; since I had no way to secure it to the drill press I had to hold it by hand and make several passes with the bits. Here's where I F&%^ed up, I should of drilled the first hole using a 5/8" spade bit for the support bushing that goes up inside the comb section but instead I drilled the relieve holes for the posts. Now I'll have go find a 5/8" twist bit or improvise something else to get me a 5/8" hole. Tomorrow I'll finish setting the bushings and drilling and tapping them for the set screws. Then step five will be to do the finish sanding and staining (this should be fun finding some matching stain). Eventhough it's not 100% finished (correct height), it already feels a whole lot better in terms of cheek weld. Cheers. Steve
