Fuck, headed to Harbor Freight on my lunch break to pick up an angle grinder and they closed the damn store! (Fredericksburg Rd for those in SA) They moved over to Vance Jackson but I didn't know that till I got back and looked it up...waste of my damn time

That sucks. Maybe it's less ghetto now though. You should have just gone to Northern Tool

I wish we had a Northern Tool in B/CS, I'd never go to HF again.

 

[texasislandboy]

i looked back to back on a few products and they are made by some of the same people and around the same price

I go by one all the time south of the woodland on 45, I can stop for you anytime you want. there stuff is just a little bit better then HF though.

Yeah but I had burnt time eating down the street from HF and only had enough time to run in and get what I wanted. HF's 4 1/2" is cheaper and its not a pos.

I'm not a HF fan myself. Good news for me is that Northern is opening in Austin. http://www.northerntool.com/stores/texas.htm Woot!

not truck related per se. but the wife just scored me this sweet bench top band saw. her boss was giving it away free. this has been on my low priority wish list for quite some time.

band saws are the shit dont loose a finger!

childhood memory of mine. my dad damn near cut off his finger in the garage using his full size band saw. i want my children to experience the same thing, when the time is right.

Human skin has a higher conductivity rate than wood. The blade has sensors at each end the detect skin and stop the blade before damage is done, at the expense of the internals of the saw...

Robs buddy has one and him and Rob did the finger test on it.

Rob stuck his finger in it?! How much beer was involved? LOL A guy I work with has one, but I've never seen it in action.

no but his buddy did, said that if he is going to be using them then he needed to make sure it would work. I think Rob said he ordered more of them.

 

[Silverback]

You know... I recall Rob telling me that story now that you mention he bought more of them.
