Redesigned Accu Stop for the Accu-Wedge Segmenting Carriage
This video will describe the newly redesigned Accu-Stop for the Accu-Wedge Segmenting system. The Accu-Stop is used to adjust the lengths of the segmented wedges when slicing the segmented wedges on the band saw using the Accu-Wedge Segmenting system. This video will describe the design of this new Accu-Stop, describe its new features, including a new indexing system, and also demonstrate it use and applications.
The main advantages of this new Accu-Stop is first of all its cost - it will be selling for about half the cost of the previous model. This cost reduction was mainly due to the elimination of the MagJig clamp. This new Accu-Stop uses two permanent magnets on its base which will securely hold the Accu-Stop onto the band saw table for the accurate slicing of segmented wedges.
The other main feature is the indexing system, which enables the accurate linear movement of the screw to adjust the lengths of the segments being sliced on the band saw. This adjusting knob has 10 indexed positions for the linear movement of the adjusting screw in increments of 0.005”

      I bought the rotating tailstock adaptor about 10 years ago. Apparently it is no longer available since I was not able to find any source for this item when I did an internet search. I will be working on designing and machining these units in the near future since I have had several requests for them. I just finished designing a prototype which I 3-D printed to check out my design. As soon as I can find some time, I will do an initial test by machining one out of aluminum.

      I made a significant number of drawings on the vacuum chucks and I had to modify the drawings several times to print out accurately on my 3-D printer.

      I did search the web and I could not find a rotating live center 1.25 x 8 tpi unit like I have. I also saw on the web that many others are looking for this item. It seems like it should be readily available, but i could not find it. I am not sure where I got it. I added to my system about 10 years ago. I thought that I bought it from Nova, but I could not find it on their web site. What Nova does have is a live center kit which I found on the Nova web site. NOVA LATHE ACCESSORY 2MT LIVE CENTER SYSTEM (SKU 5015 AND 71074) and then I found a Nova 1.25 x 8 tpi Tailstock Chuck Adaptor which I found on the Rockler web site. But I could not locate this on the Nova web site. Perhaps joining these two units will do the job, but it seems like an expensive way to go.

    Why print them so tall? PLA is plenty strong in compression. But the offset way above the clamping axis is adding unneeded torque to the jaws. Shorten them up so the printed "parallel" surface is just above the top surface of the vise. You'll get more clamping force with far less load on the jaw.

    You CLAIM that you cut the wood to 1/100,000th of an inch? do you know how ridiculous you sound when you said that, a cigarette paper is 0.02mm thick yet you think that your bandsaw can cut to 0.000254mm in thickness, even your claim of 1/10,000th inch is 0.00254mm. You need to go back to school and learn basic math. But at least in your video description you wrote down the correct measurement of 1/100th of an inch and 1/10th of an inch which is 0.254mm and 2.54mm respectively (you're still being optimistic with the 0.254mm thickness).

    It's lovely to see the pursuit of perfection in such a specific subset of a craft. For aligning glue-ups precisely, I wonder if you could use a tiny dowel system by drilling 2 holes down through the body of the cylinder before slicing it into discs. Hole 1 in the bottom disc gets dowel-aligned to hole 2 in the next disc up, ad nauseam. The dowels would be smaller than tic-tacs!

  • @PaulMorley1

    John, thank you very much for the informative video. I do have a question I hope you can clarify. At 3:53, on the tool offset tab just after you reset tool 10, you stated that both the X and Z are zero because "they have been setup to be the same value as the X and Z values for the System". Initially I wasn't seeing the same zero values but I then realized you had pressed the 'Zero button' in the lower portion of the screen earlier. This was the key I had missed. Then at 5:32 you mention "Do not change the values of X and Z in the center of the screen". I take it that this means, after setting the first tool, I should not ever type in values in the X and Z in the lower portion of the screen (assuming my physical tools do not change from day to day), EXCEPT for those times when a small overall adjustment might be needed like you mentioned at 15:14. Or if I do a complete library reset. Does that sound right? Thanks again for the great content.

    I would suggest looking into PLA+ or just printing with polycarbonate as its more consistent and almost exactly as strong as the carbon impregnated filaments. the CF filaments are also really abrasive running through your machine and you will have to replace the nozzle a lot more often. I would also recommend printing the jaws with the 2"x1" side or 1"x6" side so there is less of a chance of the layers delaminating as that is almost always the failure point of 3D prints. Another good way to increase rigidity is using the largest washers you can get away with to distribute force more evenly. you can also run bolts through a tapped hole vertically through the part to spread force out through more layers.
