A spiral saw would be a terrible choice for this type of job. The blade is not very long, and I have found that you need to make several cuts by increasing the depth each time to do this on thick boards.
You could easily do this with a hand saw and a board as a guide, clamped across the piece you want to cut. A circular saw would work great, too. ----- Original Message ----- From: carlhickson To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 2:15 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] question I am wanting to trim about half an inch of a board that I have made up buy gluing planks to gether so the end is level any other ideas? I don't have a table I was thinking about a trim saw or a circular saw with a inch blade ----- Original Message ----- From: Mickey Fixsen To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 6:23 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] question They aren't very friendly for use by a blind person. They really need to be used with a jig by a blind person. The rotary action of the cutter makes the tool want to pull strongly in one direction. It might work for you, but it would depend on the task you want to perform. Without knowing exactly what you want to do with it, I can't help you much more. ----- Original Message ----- From: carlhickson To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 8:23 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] question can anyone advise me on or about spiral saws [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ---------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
