Can you set blade stop points?

Yes and no...we never got ours to cut good corners so we sent it back for a refund. I think ours cutter head had its blade reference line in the wrong spot. But yes this unit does have position stops.

According to the manual included one has to set the stop according to the actual width of the wood. On the drill bit and on the jig itself.

Yes and no. The safety stop can be rotated parallel to the blades to an "on" or "off" position but the depth of the cut is not adjustable. However, the distance between the safety stop and the cutting edge is only 3/16" so you can cut in small, safe increments until you have cut the desired amount. This approach works very well with my nervous rabbits because I can easily avoid cutting the kwik by mistake.

The system does not have limit switches attached to it. There are various electronics companies (sparkfun, digikey, etc) that sell these. The mach3 software talks about these, and adding them into the control system. You may also want to look at the mach3 docs for setting the work envelope, which allows you to define the max size of the area in which the tool point can move.

With this you have way less scratching or biting from blade uneveness. I have another response on how to get the best setting. If you are good at using a flat surface, and getting it set properly, stick with that. If not, try this.

There was a green plastic tool that you use to adjust for each direction. By inserting and turning one direction or another, you can set the stop where you want it. I hope this helps.

YES ! With the switch on the body you may select either "Clockwise" or "Counter Clockwise" rotation of the blades.

You can youtube point cutting. But they should be point cut to avoid the blunt line.

No, definetly do not try to adjust anything. The blades are difficult to put in purposefully. I put mine in by striking the end of the blade (not to hard) on my workbench top. Basically the opposite of removing the blade.

Yes you can. Trigger by distance is via sensitivity setting. Interval setting is via setup.

Hi,The guide should tighten up, so the blade tracks. My guide goes up and down, and I can adjust it at what ever height I want. Regards, Bill

No. Line comes into sharp focus as blade lowers no matter if it is turning or not.

Hi, This could work but you will have to mount the dial indicator on a square and use your fence or the base of your jointer to set your blades.

Yes you can. Go to the race settings, go to options, go to cautions and black flags, and the go to left until it says off. I hope this helps.

When you say "grinding halt" do you mean that the blades literally stop instantly or do you mean that turning it to Med or Low is like hitting the off switch and the blades just slow down until they stop? Because if it is like hitting the off switch, then it just means you need a new switch. If the first hing is happening then you have some other major problem.

There's a good size circular button (I think its green) located on the housing near the blade that you push in which enables tilting the cutting angle.

I have not set mine up yet. With the info I received with the planer/molder it states that you can use custom blades.
