what is this about climbing? I can see that the blade pushs the

really do that? Isn't the saw sufficiently solid to prevent any
movement,
or are you talking about something else.

I did find that pulling the saw makes it want to shoot out and it takes a
bit to control that.


Yep, climbing, shooting out, chasing your a$$ back to the house, All
the same thing.

Motorized feed? What has happened since I've been to Sears?

You attach a cable from the saw to the top of the post. There is a motor
that unwinds when you squeeze the handle at a variable rate. It stops when
you let go and won't move back. A spring pulls the saw back to the post.
So, no matter what happens, the saw can't shoot back because it is
restrained by the motor.

I tried it and didn't care for it, but after cutting the dados I can see
there is legitimate need for it.

Tom in KY, maybe I need to get out more.
