My Hitachi job site saw was none of those good things.
15 amp direct drive motor screamed like a Banshee - aluminum top was lightweight - miter slots were stamped out of the aluminum, were not a...

That's why I said it "sounds like it might be".
I shy away from most electrical usually.

I do think one of those little testers is a good idea though.

Tried that with my Hitachi job site saw.
I never solved all the problems I had getting it to work with the fence.

Prime it with a rattle can of B*I*N, that will insure that the stain won't bleed through, then hit it with a rattle can of Krylon or Rustoleum.

A lot of manufacturers are offering 40 to 60 volt cordless circular saws in the 7 1/4" class.

I have two 18V cordless Makita circular saws and one 12V cordless trim saw.
The 12V is very weak in...

This sounds like it might be a case of reversed polarity.
They sell little plug ins that you use to check outlets for things like that....

I had trouble reaching the site for a couple of hours this morning.
I just chalked it up to some updating or something being done to the servers.

Having spent 20 years in IT, I know how those 5...

Instead of saw horses - get yourself a Bora Centipede.
They store great and have enough support to hold up a couple of mating pachyderms getting frisky with each other.

How is this going to affect the owner of the shop you are working at now?

You will need accounting, tax, legal and insurance advice before you go much farther.

I have one on order. They aren't in production yet so it will be a few weeks until it arrives.

Have you looked around to see if you can get it somewhere else?
I called Woodpeckers to cancel my parallel guides a couple years ago because they were doing this same sidestep.
A set miraculously...

Yeah - 11 year old thread.
My experience with MRIs is - it's really, really, really difficult to stay awake while it's going on.
Make sure you don't have any liquids for a few hours prior to having...

I use mine just about every year.
As mentioned above, there's always something that I can find.

Yes..but...it's a "watch what you asked for, you just might get it" kind of things.

Caulk is only supposed to span a 1/4" wide space.
I've tried to plug a hole about an inch in diameter.
The caulk just fell out after about a month.

As mentioned above by Ron Selzer - they make foam backing rods that you stuff into wide cracks to give the caulk some added support.

I think I'd just try some white paint on the screw and see if that made it blend in better.

A lot of people - myself included - make it a policy to really avoid lending out tools.
The list is a really short one of the people I will lend a tool to.

What about - borrowing a tool?

Yes - I'm sorry I didn't mention that along with Derek. Thanks to both of you also for the suggestion.

Derek's big giant screen filling pictures, showing the points being used in thicker wood just...

Derek - Thank you! Great idea.
I don't have the dowel points - but - I can get some easy enough.

W/Porter Cable bushings - a little and I mean - a very little - movement would be desired wouldn't it? That way a cone and centering bit could do their job and bring it dead center.

George - I think they drift apart simply because there is air movement.
When I say drift, I'm only talking about a very small amount also.
What make is so pronounced is that the dining room side is...

Exactly my conundrum.

Here's one I've been going over for the last 6 months.

We have sliding pocket doors that separate our dining room and our family room. There are two of them 30 inches wide and they meet in the...

Speaking of different "back then".
When I was in 3rd grade, a game called "stretch" became popular.
2 kids would stand facing each other and flip a knife into the ground by the other's foot.
