Simple and effective! I suppose you have a stopper below that small blade that limits the depth of the groove, don't you? Impressive high tech water dripping device! ;D I suppose one saturated sponge is enough for one cab at least, is it? So you don't have to stop during the grooving process and re-fill it.
PS. You already are a movie star, so how about "Saw 5 - cutting the groove"? ;D

Adrian, I don't have a stop on there yet and I jsut wing it. Its something that I need to look into for Amber. The comes with the machine. There is actually a reservoir of water under the table that the sponge sets in. It does soak up enough water to keep the bits wet and it creates a lot less spray. Amber just watched Saw5, without me of course. I can't stand bloody slasher movies, yuck.

This is a pretty cool little machine-isn't it funny how us rock polishers use equipment for everything BUT what the tool was designed for? I might just have to get me one of these-not having much luck with the grooves with what I'm using (of course, it's a a little trim saw, so who would???) kj

Oh, Tony, I had no idea they released Saw5, Saw3 was enough for me. Go for Saw6 then!

OK, who cares about grooving.......LOL
Yes Jigsaw died at the end of Saw 3. Saw 5 was terrible, but it does a good job of piecing things together, I won't say what all happens for other Saw freaks like me, but I will say the most compelling scene was where 2 people had to stick their arms into moving saw blades to drain 5 pints each of their blood. Tony won't watch gore with me, I had to sleep with my son that night because Mommy was scared. Although the ex wife goes to the attorney settling Jigsaw's estate and gets a box and she has the key, well she opens it and we never see inside and never see her again, so I guess that will be the plot for Saw 6.
Ok, the groove machine is really cool, I am scared to cut the grooves in the finished cabs, all that work I hate to ruin them.

That seems to really work well! I wasn't sure where the cutter would go when I first saw it. I thought it might attach to the top and I wasn't sure how that would work. That works great with it raised just enough to make the grove in the center. Looks to be pretty accurate too! Thanks for the demo Tony! Fran

great demo! Who do we contac to get a machine like this? I have been very interested in the groove cutting but didn't know how to go about doing it. Your demo was perfect!

I got mine from Johnjsgems, a member here. I believe he is a dealer, even if he's not he gave me a pretty good price and excellent service.

Thanks for the play by play! So the slide fits on the shaft and locks the blade in place. So if you lifted off the slide and pulled off the blade could you put a washer the size of the shaft down on the deck to act as a stop so you can control the depth of cut? Tony

Tony I really haven't explored putting a depth stop on it yet but it should be pretty easy. I might need to turn it out of wood to get the depth just right. So far I have just been judging the depth by viewing where the diamond stops on the cutter. This seems to be the right depth for 20 gage wire.

Thanks for posting this tutorial. I've been wondering how it was done. I'll have to get me one of these.
Thanks, Dan
