Just a note of caution here about working with those power miter saws. I realize most of you need to use your hands to align and fix measurements; so be careful about getting your paws near that blade. Here's why I mention this (because I suspect you are all very careful without me sounding like "Mom"); about a year and ½ ago I was working on a small project and had just put a new blade on the miter saw. As it turned out, I hadn't adequately tightened the bolt holding the blade in place and it had loosened up a bit. When I shut the saw off I heard a very peculiar sound, like a wheel turning. The blade was loose enough to continue "rolling" even though the power was off. Had I stuck my hand near that blade I would've been hurtin' for certain. So always be on your toes when working with this machinery. ---------------- Bill Gallik E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "An idealist is a person who helps other people to be prosperous." - Henry Ford - "By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy.
