I thought of that, but my cutoff facilities aren't that great until I bought a cut off saw about 6 week back, and TBT, its a POS. A Kawasaki that turns about the right speed to be a good cut off if it was plugged into a 240 volt circuit. Friggin 14" wheel is rated for around 6500 revs & they turn it 3800? Thats false advertising to call it a cut off saw. You have to put about 40 lbs of push on the handle just to get a pretty poor fire started. 5 minutes to saw a piece off a 1x2 bar, which it should fall thru in 30 seconds if you can ever get the damned fire started. The vise will not hold an allen wrench in any way shape or form. The bed is swaybacked and sunk left of the wheel, so just about the time it cuts through, the outer piece, sitting one the straight part of the bed, closes on the blade, with no clue which way its going to throw parts. Spooky SOB to run, but its slightly better than a hand hacksaw. > I was thinking of the wrong screws, those clear by about 5/8", still no > > > room to get a short arm allen into them. > > > > > Cheers, Gene > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > ------- Is your legacy SCM system holding you back?
