I looked at it and if I'm looking at the right saw, it's a portable like the dewalt that I have. I want a stationery saw more like a contractor's saw. This is a jobsite saw. I did also look at the Ridgid cabinet saw that is belt driven. That's what I want. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll take a look at it.

How much?

Sounds like an old Unisaw. They were a beast. Cast iron base cabinet? My Unisaw ran on 220 volts. I had to wire my garage to accept it. I miss it a lot but the 3 years we spent Rving full time was worth it. I won't be able to keep my next saw inside my shop. It will live out on the driveway under a tarp. So a used saw makes sense. I'm shopping so that's why I posed the question.

I had a Unisaw prior to our selling everything. The saw I have now is one that I bought used on eBay. I think it's a model 745. I added the mobile folding stand for it. It's a great little saw if you don't need precision. I do. Also, wherr I live we only have 50 amp 110 volt power so I'm limited there too. The Delta contractor's saw looks goid but I'm open to others.

Well, here we go again. I'll open a new fresh can of worms. I've been using a Dewalt jobsite saw on the portable base for about 6 years now. I've done everything I can think of to make it cut like my old Unisaw did. But, alas, it's not gonna happen. I have finally given in to the idea of a better saw. I'm 77 so I have to be reasonable about how much to spend and what quality level will be best for what I do. My biggest problem is I can't keep the darned thing square. I've got a very good miter gauge, I've built a cutoff slide and I've got a really good blade on it. So, with that said, I'll ask the question, what table saw are you using and are you happy with it? I'm leaning toward a Delta contractor's saw with an upgraded fence system. I want a tilting arbor type saw, not a motorized one. I'm not rich so I'm going to limit my purchase to $500. I'll be watching C/L for a good used saw also. So, let the games begin. I'd appreciate all input but please, don't tell me all about your high end equipment. I can't afford it so please, don't tell me about it. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. I've never heard of that brand. I will have to do some looking for it. I bought a used bench top drill press yesterday and it has some surface rust on it. I'll try to find that stuff and give it a try.

Thank you Fred for taking the time to send me your leaf patterns. I have downloaded them and they are in my "to-do" file. Much appreciated.

Praying for Steve Good to overcome this malady that he has been diagnosed with. I've never heard of it but it sounds very serious. Please, keep him in your thoughts.

That's beautiful. I have no imagination so I'm always in awe of those who do. Did you create the pattern? If so, would you care to share it? I'd love to make one like yours. I think others might also.

Very nice. Thanks.

No pics? I don't believe it happened.

"Trained your wife"? Tell me how you managed that. I've been trying to "train my wife" for 50 years and have not done it yet.

Well, I can't say "I feel your pain" but I will pray that you get through it quickly. I know a few folks who have had both knees done with a minimum of discomfort so it should get better every day.

I bought my wife an iPad 8 years ago. It has never been used. Sits under my desk. $600 wasted.

Excellent work. A piece to be proud of. Nice frame job too.

Congrats Barb. Very nice.

Just to be sure, you folks do know this post was posted 2 years ago? I posted it and since then have purchased a very nice wood burning kit use, on eBay. $50.

A very good deal for sure. Congrats. The Gods shown down on you.

Les, I think that's what they mean when they refer to a "woodwind" instrument.

Dick, by all means, download and install Irfanview. It is a great program and nothing to afraid of. I have used it for many years. It is set as my default viewer on my computer so whatever picture I click on, it opens in Irfanview. You can do all sorts of manipulation with it and as mentioned, do a "save as" and it will convert and save whatever you want. Open a PDF and do a save as into jpeg. Simple as that. Just tell it where to save it. I always save everything to my desktop so I can find it.

After Kevin posted this quick fix, I did the same to mine. I also painted a line on my knob so I can tell if it moves.

That sounds like you did very well. How did you get the Hegner? No mention of it in your OP.

Brenda, you might want to take up a new hobby. Maybe something with "PlayDough" comes to mind. LOL>

Where'd you find a $20 phone?
