Thanks for asking Roly. Wife Susan went thru a couple serious operations.
She is recovering and being taken care of by a good friend and neighbor.
Just lonely, life has changed. God Bless
Hey Jim. Got a great saw. I have a 40-690 & a 40-694 .... Like both.

BY the way... you did not get small blades from lowes.
You can call and get advice from Sloans on blades to use.
