Today was a Trip to the Good Will with the wife.

Skillsaw for $25 less the senior discount. Main reason was "The
safety switch is where I can 'use' it." (The one I have has the thumb
switch located in such a way that I can't reach it with my thumb.)

And the Delta bench grinder, with two good wheels, for $20. Happy,
happy, I've been meaning to do something to sharpen plane knifes and
chisels.

Happy, happy.

You have attain suckage

I spoke too soon.

Or did not check close enough. The Saw is missing the "blade
bolt", and the washers and flanges. I _might_ be able to replace
them with expedites, the bolt is "tricky" as it is an "off size" -
from what I see. Who knows, it might actually just be a fine version,
or metric. Nerts.


Those parts are readily available - and should not cost enough to
double the price of the saw - or even raise it 50%.

Check with your local Skill service depot - they may have the parts on
a dead saw they will give you for free or very reasonably - but even
new they are NOT expensive.
