_used_ one might come up with.

Adjusting that fence is going to be a stretch. Art

Yeah.... you'd probably get your tie stuck in the blade....

Imagine using that thing with an outfeed table.

of something only the Government could come up with. Kinda reminds me of Air Force One fly over. Can't even get a simple picture of a table saw right and they're going to run health care, God help us!

Requires a 2nd worker to adjust the rip fence safely from the back.

My saw looked a little like that yesterday when I put the blade on backwards.

Hmmmmmm.. That's been up there since DateTime: 2005/07/28. (Which means it was commissioned likely a couple of years prior.

Silliness factor $ 10.00

Failed attempt to politicize this out of sheer desperation? Priceless

Looks like the saw you get back after loaning it to or letting your friend use it

Ummmm did you notice that the fence controls are mounted on the back side of the saw? I don't know what kind of saw you have but mine has the fence control/clamping lever on the same side as the hand wheel blade control, the front side.

This time, I am going to use the excuse that I stared at the government site too long and it affected my ability to convey a message. ;~)

And the 3rd photo show a guy making a miter cut at some angle. I'm having a hard time seeing a miter gauge in the photo. Surely he's not making the cut free hand.
