I posted a thread about a week ago asking for some tips on aquiring handtools and received so many good replies. Within that thread was a picture of a miter saw posted by Mike Winzloff that got my blood rushing. I researched and asked around trying to find what I was looking without much luck. I then contacted Mike who has been an excellent friend in the past in helping me. Bingo.... Mike put me onto this and now I own the darn thing. What a deal as well... only $32 plus shipping.
I want to thank Mike so much for all he has done for someone he has never even met. A really cool guy he is :cool:
This saw is in better shape than I have ever seen one in. I feel like I'm gonna bust :D

Bob, that is great, you got a winner there. That is the same miter saw I stared off woodworking with back in the 60's. It was very accurate and a pleasue to use. I sure would love to find one of them. I have looked for a few years but have never been able to find one. I am happy for you buddy.

Great score ! I wish I was your neighbor, not just to try it out, but your post have shown you to be a really nice guy, truly happy for others. One question? How do you hook up the dust collection to it ?

Scott,
I'll have to correct you a little here..... the "nice" guys are here the ones found at SMC and Mike is certainly one of them among the best of them. As far as DC goes, I have an electric broom on order :D

Hey hey......congratulations. You might consider mounting the saw to a board with a cleat placed on the front edge. That way a single clamp will hold it rock solid in use, but it still mobile.

I'm constantly on the lookout for one like that. My Dad has one back home which I really love. Haven't located one yet at a reasonable price in the right condition. Congratulations!!! :D

Good thought Roger and a nice tip. Sounds like just what the Dr. ordered ;)
