Re: The blade. What¡¯s the best all-around?

Ralph,
?
Yes, it won¡¯t cut through the wood to fast. (I run a bimetal 10-14)
Probably faster with pine though. I live in Alabama, maybe more oak available,
if you can locate some that bricks or masonry come on they need to be stronger
so may be oak, don¡¯t really have a particular place to get them, just keep my
eyes open, many places are glad to get rid of them particularly if they are
damaged which I don¡¯t care about. Just have to keep your eyes open, there are
tons of them out there.

Carl, you are letting the cut through the wood control the speed of
the cut, interesting where do you find oak pallets? Most seem to be scrap
pine.

thin wall tubing in the vise with a piece of wood next to it, more

Nothing wrong with
that.
Free is a very good price, and also my favorite! ;)
Until you do
add a cylinder, for occasional cuts in thin materials, it¡¯s
easy enough to
control the feed rate by hand. A friend has a HF saw, and
that¡¯s what he
does for exhaust tubing etc.
