In this instance, it appears the width of the board being cut would preclude using a vertical blade and a 45 degree miter. I have a digital gauge and it is amazingly precise. It would make it easy to get the 45 degree tilt right the first time and allow one to come back later and repeat the cut with the same accuracy. To me, the hardest part is getting that second screw in the fence in exactly the right place. (And how do you adjust it afterwards if you miss?)

Yikes! Sorry about the triple-post. Your blog is apparently not Chrome-friendly.

This is where I get stuck:

"...But the judge advised in his jury instructions that for this to be true, the plaintiff (Osorio) must have known of the saw’s danger when the safety features were removed, but used the product anyway."

So does this mean if I don't know that dynamite is explosive when I light the match that it is the dynamite manufacturer's fault when it blows up and kills me? Apparently so, by that judge's line of reasoning.

At some point, common sense will have to take hold or these idiot lawyer's will all have us living in padded cells, spooning our meals from rubber bowls because nothing else is safe.

Gads, the whole episode makes me want to vomit.
