• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

I have a 6” version that I’m going to try with the 1/2-1/2-1/2 drawer lock joint.

Groove width is adjusted by undoing two lock screws, and rotating the blade relative to its bosses. The problem is, the screws are concealed by the securing nut, or in my case the top hat adapters, so adjustment requires removal of the saw for each tweak.

Would it be feasible to leave the locking screws slightly loose, and rely on the clamping pressure of the arbour nut to keep the setting? Then I only have to loosen the arbour nut, tweak setting, and tighten.
 
I'm not sure, I've certainly seen wobble saws that purely relied on the locking of the spindle to hold its setting and I have a Leitz 4-8mm "Dial-a-Groove" which also relies on that method of locking to hold the setting. It all depends on the design of the blade holder.
