    Yeah, all the build (so far) is cherry. I have no idea how often it'll get moved. I was planning on having two braces splitting the open area into thirds. At this point, I'm probably just into...

    Yes! it's that front to back rail segments. Those are what I'm trying to wrap my head around. I've been pondering sliding dovetails. They'd be easy enough, but will they be strong enough.

    My ATF55 has hit thermal a few times in the almost 20 years I've owned it. Still works fine.

    I take it yours didn't recover and you don't want to have it repaired, then go get the makita. I guess?

    It's two part. First the only definition of success, for most companies, is share price/share return. That's a hugely short-sighted problem that I do not believe will change. Secondly, consumers...

    If a tool isn't inherently dangerous to operate, no training is required to use one without injury. I don't go off saying that scuba diving isn't dangerous because I'm trained to do so. Because I'm...
