Is that circular saw a plunge cutter? mate that thing up with an itty-bitty ez guide and you'd have a great inlay/veneer setup.
who's it for?
zak
"so it goes"
Just something I do. Still need to make cords for them.
How many amps they pull?
ya gotta make sure the cords will carry enough current.
I think 22 guage will be more than enough for such a small motor.
Hey Doodabug,
I think that circular saw is just totally "bogus".
Anybody knows you gotta have a deployable fully operational blade guard on circular saw. It was hard to tell from the picture but you either have removed the guard or you "jammed" it up so as to fully expose the blade at all times.
You know this leads to all kinds of accidents and can get you a big fine if OSHA ever catches you with that on a job site.
Have a nice day,
Cork in Chicago
The guard is on. I haven't put the blade on yet.
