Hey Morris, think we could use the sun's rays to make a laser saw?


Didn't Goldfinger do something like that? ;~)

I have other things to do with what a stacked dado set would cost, and
other tools that do its job even better. I can live with my wobbler.

Yabbut, it's a _Crapsman_!


Come on Larry. ;~) If you use a broad stroke to wipe out Craftsman you
will never know that some of their tools are made very well by reputable
manufacturers like DeWalt, Bosch, etc.

Made by reputable manufacturer good tool.

Sears still controls the specification and the price point.

That is ture, however the products in particular that I am referring to
probably have Craftsman/Sears input only in color and badging. Sears had a
red Bosch 1617EVS router and had a black DeWalt biscuit joiner. Both had
Craftsman lables. I highly doubt that more than color was the difference.
These were not tools that were designed specifically for Sears so much as
simply had a color change for Sears.

With the Bosch jigsaws they sold the only change that Sears made was to use
black plastic instead of blue and change the stickers.

And if you say "plastic gears" you're a buffoon--Bosch jigsaws don't HAVE
gears.

Seriously, it costs a lot more to make two different designs than it does to
simply rebadge an existing design, so the notion that Sears has Bosch make
them special cheapened saws is based in total ignorance of the realities of
manufacturing.

Now they're doing the same thing with Triton tools.

On the other hand, this reminds of the Intel Celeron processor--which I
believe are
those which come out meeting 2nd rate tolerences. Sort of like graded
lumber.
If you were Bosch, what would you do?

We could put a giant laser on the moon, use the sun's rays to power it
and set our boards outside to have them precision cut from space!

Or maybe we mount a giant "laser" on the moon and ask for one million
Kpax saws (pinky finger on corner of mouth.) [Mixed movie alert.]

FWIW, the Uzbeks are running a one million watt solar-pumped laser at a
research facility.

Yeah, but Bond was supposed to die and he didn't. So it must be faulty
technology.

I think that was Stinkfinger...

You know Morris when I realized that it would only handle 2" I wondered if
It would be satisfying. hummmm

Uh meee er uh.... I had the same thought. If I need bigger I'll build a
bigger one. The BCT jig is elegant and compact, I thought with smaller
needs that it may be a better choice for the smaller applications.

Because of the intricacy in my drawings and the small parts I think it would
be easier to mill longer pieces and cut up several.

I think I just figured out how to make a (simpler) wooden jig to do the
job. It takes a piece of scrap and six cuts on the table saw.

It doesn't adjust for blade thickness, but it's so cheap and easy that I
may just knock one out whenever I get a new blade.

I'm still looking forward to the arrival of the KM, tho.
