Just dropping in, whatsup, I have been planning some benches in one of our
rooms, still drawing up final plans, but while cruising through the local
classifieds I bought a 10" DeWalt 7730 (it's like an overhead compound table
saw) in great shape for perty darn cheap I thought might come in handy,
since I only have a sawzall, jigsaw, and a 7&1/4" circular saw.

Anybody still have one? The motor seems strong enough, and I can easily rig
a dust collector with some tubing and a shop vac, and all the stores carry
plenty of different blades, but setting up the table took a few tries and I
might be a hair or two off still. So I'm here fishing for some time-saving
tips, ideas, or links if any. I'm pretty sure rule number one is walking
away from the cut with all fingers still attached........

Later!
