Hello Mike I realy like your index method, (I use it quite often) have you figured out a better way to lock the handle in place so it dose not move while the cutting is being done? I use a peice of scrap wood and a vicegrip clamp to hole the gears, but some better lock or index on the handle would be nice. Just courious on your thoughts on this topic idea? C.A.G.
