I have been as busy as a one arm wallpaper hanger but I finally got the 20 degree angle band saw scarfing jig finished.
I used a piece of 3/4 aluminum square stock and some 1/4" aluminum plate I had on hand to build it.
I used 5 minute epoxy to hold the 3/4 X 3/8 Neodymium magnets in their mounting holes. They hold the blade like it was clamped onto the fence, so strong in fact the blade has to be lifted and levered off the fence, it can't be pulled straight off.
The pic of the magnets embedded in the aluminum shows them grimy. I don't know where that dirt came from, I didn't notice any dirt on the blade try piece when I put it on the fence, I guess it could be rust.. I was in a hurry to finish, I didn't notice the grime was so bad or I would have cleaned it off before I took the pictures.
Next pics will be of the blade silver soldered together.
Thanks for looking.
