Or just make all of your projects out-of-square, then cut one leg shorter

Otherwise, there was one owner I read of, that sawed off the cast ears and
replaced them with pillow blocks.



Im going to have to do that with a largish Spartan automatic saw in the
not to distant future. Previous owners didnt bother to lube anything,
and over a period of years, the unbushed saw frame pivot holes went not
just out of round, but keyshaped.

It will be faster and easier to simply install pillow blocks with
movable mounts and dial the sucker in, than busting it all down, welding
the holes up, then finding someone to line bore it, then putting it all
back together again

that Roosevelt would be remembered as a great president, "maybe even
alongside Washington and Lincoln," opining that Roosevelt "had every
quality that morons esteem in their heroes.""
