I'm hesitant to post this and before anyone suggests taking me out back and hanging me from a stout branch I emphasize that I am just mulling this over in my mind and before I do anything I might regret I thought I would ask so....here goes.
Recently I indulged in my eBay habit,I know many of you can relate,when I came across a Disston mitre saw steel-backed looking in fair condition and at a price that I couldn't pass up,I use this rationalization with my wife to justify my purchases....it never works.
I really didn't need the saw I already have a mitre saw I'm happy with(did I mention I have a habit?)
but I began to think about modifying it into a carcass saw, the plate is over 20" long so a cut down would be necessary as would changing to a cross-cut configuration from the original rip config.
So, what do you think,good idea,bad idea.
