    Sweet keg-a-rator. I miss my old college one. During the cold months I have to smoke my cigars in the shop, this would make a great addition to my "man room".

    O yea, the saw is nice too.

    It's nice having bragging rights on "mine is bigger than yours", but doesn't having a 12 inch saw limit your choice of saw blades somewhat?
    It's a biiiig mistake to allow any mechanical object to realize that you are in a hurry.

    Hello there,

    Why do you have your sliding table installed *so* far away from the blade?

    Why didn't you remove the left hand wings and cut your fence down?

    You have about 2 feet where the fence from the sliding table is dragging the material across cast iron instead of being on the sliding table.

    Gotta show these pics (just the last one actually) to LOML. Trying to tell her that if I get a big enough keg it can serve as part of a geothermal heat pump system for whole house cooling...err...well that's my belief and I'm sticking to it!

    Nice saw too!

    I'll stick my neck out on this one

    You guys can call me a prude if you want, but I think it is a crazy bad idea to have beer in a shop. Accidents can happen even when your faculties are at their sharpest.

    Nice setup - the saw *and* the kegerator

    Not sure I'd want to go head to head with Norm, no matter HOW nice my saw was...

    Charlie,

    Nice saw setup!

    Now, to completely change the subject... Do you like pizza and do you ever go to Aniellos (sp?)? I'm about 30 miles south of you and we never pass through Corning without stopping for the best pizza around.

    I moved the slider back far enough so I could cross cut plywood from the front.
    I keep it waxed enough the I feel NO drag on the cast, Besides the Moter sticks out pretty far. I didnt want to cut the fence off a 2000 dollar saw to add a slider that I paid 225 for. It works great the way it is. I dont understand why anyone would give up smooth surface to add a slider when the slider fence adgusts to the surface. I have made many crosscuts on this saw already and it works perfectly.

    read the earlier post. I don't drink during work hours. I have a beer or two AFTER hours. I may wax the tools or clean up with a beer in hand but the main breaker is off by then.

    I am old enough to respect tools. Can you say no to a drink when its Inappropriate? I can. The keg is in the shop because of space. Not because I drink all day. Lighten up! I have paid my dues! If I want to drink in my shop after the power is off to the tools I have that right!

    I find that hard to believe! The best part about their pizza is that it is always made the same. They make it great everytime.

    I'll do that!
