That explains it! I grew up (though that's sometimes in doubt) in west-central PA, not far from Ohio.

Dave

Thanks, Jim. Though I've been there many times, I drew a blank on them for bits. Will give them a call tomorrow.

Dave

PS They're a long way from Ohio, how'd you come to know them?

Thanks, Joel. Am still looking for someone closer to the "left" coast.

Dave

Highland Hardware, also but was hoping to find someone here.

Thanks,

Dave

Thought I'd better post a picture...
The 4 tall posts and deck with the hole in it (for a large ficus nitida) exist. We're adding the rest (except the adults will do the railings later) as part o...

Help!

I'm managing a project with the third-grade at my son's school. Each year the third grade builds something. We're adding onto an existing play structure, but doing all of the work with...

Mark,

I thought we were doing good to replace all of our windows during that rain. I can't imagine how you got all of that concrete in place between the raindrops!

I also received one. The carefully worded letter does state something to the effect that you "need not return the book because you did not order it."

Dave

Great stuff, Frank! Way to gloat!

I love my 650 (with HTC base). Barely got it rolled into the garage before I started cutting trim for my new windows.

Enjoy!

Dave

They advertise this coping foot quite often in Fine Homebuilding. I should try one: I've been using my jig saw to cope "freehand."

Dave

Rick,

Makes sense, I like it. I'm going to do it!

Thanks,

Dave

Thanks for all the leads/advice! I'll check them out. I have a small diamond stone, but it's probably too small to be effective. Drywall screen on glass sounds interesting.

Dave

I'm new to this, but have a set of Norton combination waterstones. The 220 grot is hard to keep flat. What do you recommend? Diamond stone? Sandpaper on glass? The 220 grit really gets messed up.

Mike,

Had no such part or instruction with the 650. There's nothing on the back rail. Which saw do you have? In General (pun intended) I found their instructions less than clear.

Dave

Mike,

Are you trying to equalize the gap from the table top to the bottom edge of the fence as it runs from the front to the rear of the table? I just last week finished assembling a General 650...

Tim,

Great buy! I've had a Turbo II for a few years and it never ceases to amaze me, and anyone who uses it, with its combination of power and quietness.

Dave

For those that find the pictures of the Canadian flag weren't "satisying," here are a couple more telling shots.

Dave

Frank,

Knew you'd enjoy this view of new saw.

Dave

PS Thanks for "picking nits."

And I'm glad you didn't, I deserved that one!

Dave

Mark,

I think we're also neighbors in profession.

I believe you are an architect? I'm an industrial designer. I know all industrial designers are frustrated architects (well, at least this...

Well, after a LOT of soul-searching, budget analysis, forgiveness from my wife, and consultation with my Canadian friends, I bit the bullet and went for the 650-T50. Just had to have that flag on the...

:D Walking through Costco in Irvine the other day, I saw a set of 6 Marples chisels and a mallet for $20 flat! There weren't many left. Couldn't resist.

Dave

Great! That's the one, a 50" Bies.-style. At least I can claim partial 'citizenship'!

Dave

:)

Frank,

Here I thought I was getting one of those nifty Canadian flags on the front and helping to support our wonderful neighbors to the north!

Budget's a big consideration. Will let...

Greg,

Welcome!

Haven't seen the article reviewing the saws, but I just ordered a General 50-220
