Re: Radial arm saw
Thanks Ed for the correct info on the recall. Just got a 30% off from Wood Workers Supply, ordered up that Freud negative hook blade.

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

That has changed, at least for the RAS my roommate found for free.Ed in Tampa wrote:The recall was the installation of a safety shield. However some machines were not adaptable to the fix. So they offered two options. For one set of serial numbers they would send you the update kit. For the set of serial numbers that could not be upgraded they offered $100 if you sent them the power head,thus rendering the machine useless.ERLover wrote:On the recall, they gave you a whole new top and blade guard with anti kick back stuff for ripping, that did not go over so good, so then they would give you $100 and shipping to send them the power head.
No I always had the wood against the fence, put not a negative, hook blade.
I think Freud just came out with them in the last year or 2 for miter saws, on my to get list in thin kerf. Since I have a Freud 80 tooth full kerf on the miter saw now, and think it is a positive hook, I bought it about 8 years ago.
It had nothing to do with how well it went over.
What they're doing now, is sending you $100 when you ship them the power head.
Get on their website, sign up, they send you the box, you pack up what they want,
and send it back. When they receive the stuff, they send you the money.
$100 for a free saw, not bad.
Now to figure out what to do with the base and mast.

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.
Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.
