Bill, I figured that out after I replied. I first thought that you were referring to the case a few years ago where some parts of metal from a saw blade at a meat packing house ended up in some meat on the store shelves. - Original Message - From: "Bill Gallik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To:

Bad influence is right. I ordered the set of punches. I didn't see the three spring loaded punches. I did order the pocket hole jig and drills. Also cost me about a hundred. Regards. Max. K 4 O D S. Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Transistor site http://www.funwithtransistors.net Vacuum tube sit

I've always thought you'd need a guide that would 'surround" the blade just above the work so you could follow a scribed line or other pattern on the work with the leading edge of the guide. However how such a guide would be made to stay close enough to the blade without getting cut, and close eno

There is a lot of information here. Unfortunately it is very disappointing that there is not one single piece of information as to how a blind person can use a band saw. I was hoping for some tips, tricks, and techniques for a blind person safely and accurately using one of these saws. ---

If you put in turns you need a 48 inch square turning platform, although I don't know how it works if you actually curve the ramp, there is one at my usual "bart" (train) station that is constant slope at ADA grade but is curved so it looks like a kind of #2. I can only assume it is ADA compliant
