    Always use a sacrificial top. Cut into it about 1/16th to 1/8th so you can complete the cut. With use, the kerf will widen out until you decide it is time to replace the sacrificial top.

    It's a 925H. The first 4 numbers on the motor plate are the year and month it was made. Probably 1959 or 1960. I have virtually the same saw and love it.

    The manual can be downloaded from the...

    Peter,

    I think it would lead to a really good thread if you forwarded your opinion to Marc and asked him to respond here on SC.

    It could be an interesting debate. I am sure we would all benefit...

    I agree with the SC choice. I have one and love the 6" quill travel. The split head is great for the quill lock and the light is a nice touch.

    Hitachi Router template guides

    My router came with a few template guides. I would like to use one to follow a template made from 1/4" MDF. The part of the guide that the router bit fits through is more than 1/4" long. The only way...

    I disagree somewhat. However, the OP didn't ask if he should get it or not, only if it was a good price.

    Does over $90 sound right for a 111" 1/2" blade? That doesn't even seem to compute if you used $14.09/foot sale price. I must be doing something wrong.

    I also like the Freud LU83R008 blade. Unless you have a really big saw, all you probably need is a 8" blade. A blade stiffener also works really well.

    If you are in a rented townhouse, there may not be enough amperage in a line to your shop to run a BS of that HP. It will probably either trip the breaker when it starts up or when under a load.

    Just glue a sheet of formica to your -3/4 table top and it will bring the thickness to as close to 3/4 as can be measured. Plus your table top will look great.
