I wish I could have been there to help. I am not afraid of heights at all. In

the better. Before we installed a metal roof on our home, I used to get on the

Well I was back up on the roof again today.
I have to admit that I was a bit of a weeny today. John was stretching out
on the roof with his feet against the ladder. I could not quite seem to get
myself into that position. I felt like my boots were going to slip off of
the ladder rung. I don't know
HI, I have a circular saw for cutting plywood and large things like that. My
son got me a circular saw guide from sears with clamps that hook on the saw
and you can cut up to 2 foot with it. Works really good...

I will caution once more.
You may want to save up for a while and get yourself a table saw with at least
a cast steel table.

did have problems holding everything together while trying to set the depth
on a circ saw, maybe it's time for a table saw like John has.

There are a couple of ways to perform dado cuts with a table saw. The very best
way is with a stacked dado head. This is a pair of saw blades separated by a
suitable number of what are called chippers. A chipper is a somewhat 'S' shaped
bit of metal wider in the middle with a hole through it to
Bill, yep, I can use it. I even added a board to the gauge to give
it more support. The bar for the gauge is only 14 inches long and
that is one reason I would like to find an after market gauge.

Do you know anybody who does machine work? It sounds like about an hours
worth of work to mill those guide bars down to fit the slots on your saw.

Bill, the standard miter slot is 3/4 by 3/8, I think. So, I can't
find an after market gauge because I have those smaller slots.

Why is the size of the miter gauge slots important?
Are there other tools or gauges that don't fit because of this?

The spring clamps you just squeeze the handles to open. I have a few and
really don't like them.I don't understand the 45 degree angle unless it is
to keep the clamp out of the way.

Bill, I bought the Hitachi c10fr for $200. It weighs about 40
pounds. The only thing I don't like about it is that the slots for
the miter gauge are under sized slots, 5/16 by 5/8. The miter gauge
is a good gauge with positive stops, 9 of them.

If I had open work space of 18 by 12 feet in my shop and the money to pay for

I can move my table saw up and down because it is a job site saw with
fold and roll design. No, it isn't as good as a cabinet saw, but
lack of money and space limited what I could get.
