@horati0nosebl0wer I had watched this video :

I’m no expert, but I suspect the second time the board was probably pinching (sp?) the blade as the blade would stop spinning.
The thing also doesn’t appear to have the power for the task I was using it for (which may have saved me from doing something stupid).

Complacency is deadly with this sort of stuff.
Fear is good, it keeps you awake and stops you from doing something stupidly dangerous.

Anyways … I probably should post some more details of my construction in the project system as I am getting to the final stretch. OTOH now I may have jinxed myself 😀

@sundancer *ouch* that does sound like you got taken for a ride by the seller.
It’s a shame such folk have the gal to do this to people that simply need a car that works.

and you just know that if he was to sell that car to the same guy he suddenly would find all those flaws and a half dozen more.

When I was looking for a house to buy I’ve noticed similar things. The folk selling always had pictures from angles that hid flaws and showed the ‘good’ bits only.
I think I’m glad that I was outbid on the house with the wobbly floor as that probably would have been more expensive than the 10k the real estate agent who was helping me had estimated. Even in my current house I’m slowly discovering things that aren’t quite as good as they looked at first glance. Nothing major, but definitely worth taking care of.
