: Paul--

: If my memory serves me correctly, I think a similar discussion came up on
: this board within the past year. The safety aspect stirred up quite a bit
: of controversy. While I have no doubt that a conscientious mechanic could
: set up a circular saw to function safely as a table saw, I am sure there
: are at least a dozen points in your description where cutting a corner
: would lead to an unsafe device.

I agree totally!

I know more than a few woodworkers who can't count to ten on their fingers

Don't get a sawblade in the head like this guy!

All the best,
Rob Macks
