Am I to understand it did not fire as you were cutting it, but did after powering down and you inadvertently caused the same piece of wood to touch the still rotating blade? Well, it's also possible that I caused the same piece of wood to slow down the blade significantly by catching a tooth vs wha...

Wood you expand upon that thought? Well, let's just say I know how much a replacement brake costs now. The most recent time it happened to me, I was cutting, and I had finished and hit the power switch to turn off the saw.. then I reached for the wood to pull it away from the blade while it was pre...

I understand your desire to be 'flexible', but would not suggest others to use 30A or 50A plugs and receptacles(or a 30A/50A branch circuit). Truth be told, a 20A branch and plugs/receptacles are too big. A 15A version should be adequate for the pp. I do not know the max current draw of the pp, but...

Ordered a new mark 7 today after Doug Reid's webinar today. Should be interesting to see how long it takes to arr...

I'm 29 and my grandfather gave me his father's 1955 Mark V Greenie last year, and now I'm using it to build guitars. :D It's still working great, and gonna be cutting a heck of a lot more wood for me! http://www.tdpri.com/forum/2012-tdpri-tele-build-challenge/317890-ugly_guitar_guys-2012-challenge-...

39 and thinking about getting a new mark 7.. Nothing but 18v cordless tools and two saw horses (and a car) in my small 1.5 car garage right now.
