It's possible that I just got lucky, but I haven't had that problem.
Ooooo! Nice shiny bait - maybe just a /tiny/ nibble...
Should be do-able *but* I would expect that SWMBO might object strenuously if the smoke collection system were anything less than absolutely perfect.
IMHO, damn things don't even make a poor boat anchor..
Good for re-melt in an electric arc furnace.

Ah, the double whammy of experience plus a resume builder. Bueno, bwana.
Yeah.

IANMD, but, sure. Hmm, wouldn't the 4' wide, very charred kerf be a sales killer, though?

Didn't Goldfinger do something like that? ;~)
Come on Larry. ;~) If you use a broad stroke to wipe out Craftsman you will never know that some of their tools are made very well by reputable manufacturers like DeWalt, Bosch, etc.
Made by reputable manufacturer good tool.
Sears still controls the specification and the price point.
That is ture, however the products in particular that I am referring to probably have Craftsman/Sears input only in color and badging. Sears had a red Bosch 1617EVS router and had a black DeWalt biscuit joiner. Both had Craftsman lables. I highly doubt that more than color was the difference. These were not tools that were designed specifically for Sears so much as simply had a color change for Sears.
With the Bosch jigsaws they sold the only change that Sears made was to use black plastic instead of blue and change the stickers.
And if you say "plastic gears" you're a buffoon--Bosch jigsaws don't HAVE gears.
Seriously, it costs a lot more to make two different designs than it does to simply rebadge an existing design, so the notion that Sears has Bosch make them special cheapened saws is based in total ignorance of the realities of manufacturing.
Now they're doing the same thing with Triton tools.
On the other hand, this reminds of the Intel Celeron processor--which I believe are those which come out meeting 2nd rate tolerences. Sort of like graded lumber. If you were Bosch, what would you do?

We could put a giant laser on the moon, use the sun's rays to power it and set our boards outside to have them precision cut from space!
Or maybe we mount a giant "laser" on the moon and ask for one million Kpax saws (pinky finger on corner of mouth.) [Mixed movie alert.]

One correction. The correct word should have been "were" reputably made. Anything made pre-1975 was pretty good. After that, I got burned far too badly to ever give them another look or try. Effem!

FWIW, the Uzbeks are running a one million watt solar-pumped laser at a research facility.
Yeah, but Bond was supposed to die and he didn't. So it must be faulty technology. :)

I think that was Stinkfinger...
I think I just figured out how to make a (simpler) wooden jig to do the job. It takes a piece of scrap and six cuts on the table saw.
It doesn't adjust for blade thickness, but it's so cheap and easy that I may just knock one out whenever I get a new blade.
I'm still looking forward to the arrival of the KM, tho. :)
