Make a SQUARE piece for the corner that is thicker than the runs on the sides and ELIMINATE the miter alltogether. You can raise the square part with some 1/4" underlament, then hide it with moulding underneath.

Here's a cropped view from a cellphone pic I had already. I'll get a couple good ones up soon, but this should give you the general idea. Your base may differ, just alter the concept to fit your saw. I know it's kinda redneck, but it was cheap and effective. I just put a couple of scraps down as whe...

Micheal, I know exactly what you mean about not moving that saw without wheels. I have an old Craftsman 100 that I needed to move around in the garage to use and then put back against the wall. (4) pneumatic tires from Harbor Freight; (2) 36" lengths of 5/8" round steel; (8) flat washers; ...

That's got me thinkin... If I were gonna try something that huge, I'd see if I could find a 9" or so v-belt pully and fasten it to the end of my project, shimming it to get the pulley to run as true as needed. Then I'd take the 1/4HP 1725rpm motor off my old delta drill press with the 4-step pu...

Is there a 'WANTED' section here I don't see?
Where should I post a specific need?

Can you post a good close up of that relay you are referring to please?

hdtran, Look at the outside of that extension cord you were using and post the jargon you'll find on the outer sheathing. You said the gfi blew. Did it blow INSTANTLY when you turned the SS on, or did it take a while? Also, where is your gfi? at the outlet you plugged the extension cord into?...or a...
