Hi, wondering if anyone has used the Veritas Truing Disc to minimize table saw runout? How much runout is acceptable at the blade? Thanks RodM

Jet JWJ-8HH Helical Head 8-In. Jointer
This machine joints a very good surface, with a fence that is flat and smooth-moving. The fence is easy to set to 90°, and it stayed that way. The 90° stop was also easy to set and reliable. The start and stop buttons can be installed above or below the infeed table.
Tite-Mark Marking Gauge
These gauges can be easily and precisely adjusted with one hand, which allows you to set the tool while holding a ruler or workpiece in the other. The quality is exceptional, and all have sharp cutters that offer great visibility.

Pretty sure the disc is discontinued. Seems like locking the door after the horse got out. Can't give and exact number to spec but if it interferes with cutting and such I don't use the blade. My saw sharpener can straighten out a blade within reason if it's a quality blade.
Hi Rod...........I've used it in the past,but only on some very thin, very cheap ,100 tooth blades I found at a flea market that I use for veneer.As far as good quality blades go,you should'nt need it.If they are'nt straight return them and if you treat them well they stay straight or a good sharpener can straighten them.I would guess there was a reason for LV discontinuing them,they really are'nt needed for the majority of blades made today.
Hi Brent, thanks for your input. I saw this product mentioned in the latest ShopNotes magazine, sounded like a good idea if it really worked. I'm using a Forrest Woodworker II on my Delta C.S. I don't think I have a problem but I'm going to invest in a dial indicator so I can measure the runout and know for sure. Do you or anyone else what runout is considered normal? RodM
Hey Rod,
Before you check the blade for run out, check at the arbour flange.It should'nt be more than 1-2 thous. there,even better if 0.As far as the blade goes,I would want to see the same max. of 1-2 thous. on a quality blade like that.

Hi:
I've used the truing disc; on better blades it's not required. It limits cutting depth. Since I've switched saws and now have enough funds to use better blades, I've stopped using it. Too much fiddle factor.

Truing Disc
I know these are getting hard to find but I have seen a stabilization disc that is very similar one being listed on e-bay. It would be a good find for someone.
