Self Service Saw at Menards
Found my local Menards has a "self-service" saw. It's a compound miter saw
with a nice long infeed and outfeed table. The sign said basically "if you feel comfortable using this, you can. PPE is near the saw in a box." I had brought my own circular saw, but wound up using their saw instead. It was really nice to control the tolerance of my cuts, rather than hoping to find the guy who actually can read the tape measure and hold better than 1/4" tolerance. Really neat, I hope they keep this for a long time! Puckdropper |

I forgot it was a Canadian company. I know there was a Menards in Fort Wayne and Indianapolis Indiana and several other mid western US cities. It was my favorite place to shop when we live in Indianapolis. I wish they would come to Raleigh, but I doubt if they ever will in my life time. |

Maybe they're trying it out here. I wouldn't put much stock in the fact that the sign looked official. It wouldn't take much for a manager to walk next store to Staples and have them make up a sign that looks like any other sign in the store. For all we know, the stores all have the ability to create/obtain signs using the logo and colors. Special sales of excess inventory, local sales ("Riverview High Class of 2019 - Take 10% off this week"), etc. I'm not saying that corporate isn't aware of the situation, just that the sign you saw shouldn't be assumed to be prove. In terms of saws, the easiest and safest to operate is the compound miter saw. It's all relative. DAGS for miter saw accidents. From minor nicks to entire hands having been cut off. Wet wood can kick back and I'm sure you've seen PT at the home center that was literally dripping wet. The blade only moves in one arc, so it's easy to predict where the blade goes and keep your fingers out. Heck, table saw blades don't move in any kind of arc and yet many people have reached into the spinning blade. Mistakes happen. Ignorance happens too. I've seen people using hand saws at the trim aisle cart who had no clue how to support the wood. I wouldn't let them anywhere near one of my power tools. I'm really surprised that the store is doing that. Do they let you climb the stair ladders or use the fork lifts too? ;-) |

I'm really surprised that the store is doing that. Do they let you climb the stair ladders or use the fork lifts too? ;-) No kidding ! For in-store hands-on seminars - there is always a safety demonstration ; insistance on PPE and guards ; and the Instructor is watching like a hawk until he gets a feel for the participants. ... even then - stuff happens. If a local store manager is going rogue with something like this - or anything that is safety-related - he won't be around for long .. John T. |
