That blade will die an early death anyway, so be careful with it.
You could always cut the bad part off and save the rest to make
a bow saw.

I'm the expert on those saws around here (with almost 1 completed
saw under my belt now, not counting the prototype) so just ask if
you need any help with it. chuckle

Gee, glad you reminded me Larry. I'd almost forgotten the bow saw. It's
almost as old as(What was your antique cabinet saws name again?) isn't
it?(G,D & RLH)

No, it's older.

Dina's doing well, but she needs a new set of teeth. That $4.99
HF 40T 10" C2 carbide blade has lasted a couple years, and I have a
new one to go on her, but I have to drill out the arbor hole first.
She has a 3/4" arbor.

Didn't you see her in her new clothes a couple years back?
I gave her a new coat of paint and added nice dust collection panels.
Her mouth is still a gaper, though, at about an inch shy of zero
clearance. ALL small/short stock goes on the _sled_, period.

She also has an occasional outfeed table, but I've yet to make it
permanent or cut the groove for the miter slide. Since I haven't
used the miter for ripping with it yet, that's not a problem.

My preferred way of doing tenons is on the bandsaw, so I may never
make a tenoning jig for Dina. We'll see.

I'm waiting for 4 clients to give their updates to me so I've had a
chance to go out into the shop this morning, too. The carving bench
legs are going to be glued together today, and I should be able to
scrape and smooth the top, too.


It's 11am and the newspaper is almost dry. The rooter man just left
so my kitchen sink isn't full of black water any longer. What a way
to start yer day, eh?
