The 3560 vibrates a little at startup but once it's going it passes

Coin on edge?


Uh, what would be the point otherwise?


I was asking what the "nickel test" was?


Coin on edge. If the coin on edge does not fall during start up, while the
saw is running, or during shut down, it passes the nickel test. There are
varying degrees of this test, the minimal you are looking for is for the
coin to stay upright when the saw is running. Start up and shut down is
really not a factor since you don't normally cut during start up or shut
down. Now if the coin stands up and does not roll or spin you are really
headed in the right direction.
