Cool!
If one of those jumped the track that could be dangerous. Can you say missing toes. It reminds me of my first wood job in a cheapo furniture factory. We used to have belt sander races on Fridays when the boss would by beer and pizza for the mostly underaged an d 1/2 illegal crew. Ah, the good ole days.

Well, mine is an old Craftsman from when the name meant more than the front end for a credit card, but it's still working on the rare occasion I need one. Have to use a motor not already equipped with a drive system. Joe |
