That's exactly right. I don't think about work while woodworking, and
I think about woodworking while at work ;-)

Hey, how about your impressions of that saw?

I love it now that I can find the serial number ;-)

Seriously, its a fantastic saw. It was dead-on square out of the box.
The lasers needed a tiny adjustment to be dead-on but its a simple
adjustment with a little allen wrench. Setup was pretty easy and the
instructions were fine. Everything about the saw is solid, and it
moves and locks firmly but smoothly. I particularly like the miter
degree markings - they're on the outside of the table, and far enough
apart that you can easily get 1/2 degree precision. I get a little
tear-out on the back of softwood, but I figure tape or a backer block
will take care of that.

The only problem, if you can call it that, is I can't find a padlock
that fits the trigger to lock it. It requires a small diameter
shackle bar (like a luggage lock) but it has to be far taller (i.e.
longer opening in the shackle) than any luggage lock I've found.
