Happy Birthday to Me (way early)

Oh yeah baby. This machine is mine. This week, Dad decided that I desperately needed a new chop saw. An avid cruiser de craigslist, he found this beauty and it now resides in the basement. It has a laser system which outlines exactly where the cut is going to be BEFORE you are committed.

In the Fall, I was using a chop saw to cut aspen branches for a project. Things were going well until the saw jammed.

Since Dad has been helping with trim projects, he was highly disappointed with the old saw as it wasn't making perfectly straight cuts. I fessed up to the "event" and he took it to the shop to inquire if the the blade was warped. Bad news, the shaft was bent. Yikes eeee Oops eeee - guess I won't be using a mitre saw to whack branches anymore.
