[OT] As opposed to "but their webmaster s*cks"? Tried to view the page
yesterday and now, but had to go to Canada Post to find a postal code
first. Here's one for other people that didn't get in: M4P 1V8 [OT]

As to the machine itself: although I like the design, not for me,
thanks. As a newbie, I want to be mobile and be able to cut more than
1-5/16 inch on the spot. Is a circular saw really that much less precise?
In relation to the Porter Cable referred to by nailshooter41, I noticed
Morris Dovey works with a similar design, maybe you could ask him.
See here for Morris's machine: http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/OFT_06m.jpg

it is on with some text from Morris.
