Impressions/Review of Craftsman Professional Table Saw

[Silvan]

I know a woman who was born in San Francisco. She's been living here in Virginia for 20 years or so.

A hybrid saw has a battery pack and a gasoline engine. If you're cutting light wood like pine, it runs off the batteries. When you feed in some oak or hickory, the gas engine kicks in to give it more power.

Well, harumph! How about both my wives and all my children. In fact, my first wife's parents were born in California. Grumble. The very idea. Humph. j4

Got an old college buddy who lives near Sonoita. I say near, because a million years ago he bought some desert outside town and has been living there ever since, through a couple wives, girlfriends and a slew of reconstructed motorcycles. Got himself a BS in business admin, and hasn't held a full-time job since. Works at what he needs, when he needs to, to make things work for him, everything from teaching motorcycle riding at Pima College, to leading motorcycle tours in Wales. Added to building fences for ranchers and rebuilding and selling motorcycles, he seems to do just fine.

He's from the Long Island area, in NY.

Americans do seem to move around a bit.

It's a better class than a lo-brid one, obviously.

More seriously, "What do you get when you cross a contractor saw with a cabinet saw?"

I know, I know -- a contractor saw with delusions of grandeur.

Start with a contractor-style saw. make the 'box' enclosing the works bigger. put it on stumpy, permanently attached, legs. Beef up the trunions. Maybe support 'em from the box, rather than the table-top.

Tisn't realy fish, nor fowl. it's a hybrid.
