Same here (Safari on a Mac)
Mike G wrote:Simmer, gents. No-one has implied that it is anything to do with the forum. I assumed that it was a simple balls-up by Paul. Turns out it isn't... The thing is, it's a different sort of non-show from those I've had before, with just a blank white square rather than the more typical little thumbnail/ icon thingy, so the immediate "it's my fault" reaction didn't apply.

Good point Andy... I'm going to gauge the filter at regular intervals and see how it's doing. I think it will only extract the very fine dust which is what I'm hoping to achieve.
It's a shame some of you guys can't watch the film, but following Mark's instructions will no doubt get you there.

I set my SCMS up yesterday outdoors, and then the wind changed direction. I spent the evening in great discomfort, wishing for bedtime to arrive so that I could finally leave my eye shut to sort itself out. Sure enough, in the morning there was a great deal of crustiness around it, including presumably the offending piece of sawdust and my eye was pain-free again. So your solution is awaited with interest here.

I watched it on youtube. That set up looks like it would work OK, but it takes up too much space to be applicable in my workshop.
Just as an aside, Paul, to you have a special blade in that saw to prevent tear-out? Can you use stuff straight off the saw in furniture?

Or use a false fence that runs all the way along the back of the existing fence (well, front...but you know what I mean, I hope) and then make your cut. The saw will cut through the timber and also the false fence. That is also now your cut line and useful as a future aid but also the false fence should stop tear out..........

Yeah, it's the faffing around with that when you've a production run of cuts that bugs me. I just wondered if anyone had used blades that did this job cleanly, without having to find endless pieces of scrap.
