Why should it? I've never understood the antipathy that many guys here have
toward radial arm saws. One person used to call them "radical harm saws"

I've seen radial arm saws that weren't aligned correctly, and that had
missing guards. They ARE dangerous. It's all correctible, and I've
corrected one or two.

Table saws, likewise.

I saw a couple of old houses being demolished in Buffalo the other
day. I was pleased to see how they were doing it. The organization is
"Buffalo Reuse". See:

Was too young back then to have thought of their expedient... :) (or :(
more like it) altho access would have a trick where the particular house
was located w/ large equipment like shown there. But it's the trick for
speeding up the demo but still have mostly salvageable stuff in the end.
Hate to see the old plaster castings/carvings in ceilings, cornices,
etc., get destroyed as well...

Alas, the passage of time changes the qualities of
our favorite brands. I've seen two killer faults in circular
saws (corded), which are plastic frames (if the soleplate
isn't metal-to-metal at the pivot, do NOT buy that saw),
and aggressive bladeguards. Both made straight cuts
nearly impossible, and plunge cuts dangerous.

I think what "we" might dislike even more is the tattle tale net nanny.

Your tag line below makes a lot of sense. Don't be afraid of the troll.

Trolling is in the eye of the reader and each post needs to be evaluated
under it's own merit.

Trolls are mostly created and not born. Many have been created here. When we
**** people off with snark they retort, all differently mind you.

Usually for every bully there is at least one troll.

Yeah, they'll just load the UPS truck on the semi, no problem... :)

From FL out here will have to enter in to the picture for sure. I
bought a JLG 40H 40-ft boom manlift the year came back to the farm owing
to needing the reroof job on it and the house plus several other high
jobs could see including trees. Broker was in FL while machine outside
Chicago--he had arrangement w/ private trucking and guaranteed it for
$600--ended up costing $800 but he kept his bargain. It weighed about
12k lb and took up most of the load; if they can find shared load one of
these is probably about 2000lb and doesn't take up much space so
shouldn't be _too_ bad but it's been a while since I've shipped
something sizable; fuel surcharges have to be a factor.

I've not heard on this one; they sent a $3500 quote for a 12" Crescent
w/ a "make an offer" disclaimer. I'm sure I'll manage to fight off the
urge, but it's a temptation, sure... :)

BTW, they've a nice-looking 16" General up north closer to you; somebody
has even retrofitted it for single-phase...

That'll prep some stock for the carver... :)

OMG, you're right. I've turned into that Cherman guy who bailed a few
years ago, haven't I? OK, I'll shut up.

It's not fear. It's merely the persistant annoyance of a yapping,
ankle-biter, mini-dog. Ya just gotta hate 'em.
