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: http://www.buffaloreuse.org/GreenDem...reenDemolition Kewl... 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... -- |

I mainly use my girlfriend's Makita 5277B, it totally rocks. I would trust Milwaukee or Porter Cable any day. 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. |

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. -------------- "Leon" wrote in message ... I think what "we" might dislike even more is the tattle tale net nanny.

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... http://www.mlsmachineryusa.com/onlineCatalog/details.asp?cat=1270&auct=0&liq=0&id=25925&p=1&rpp =10 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. Your tag line below makes a lot of sense. Don't be afraid of the troll. It's not fear.
