Hurricane work?

Right after the hurricane some fence company I'd never heard of in Florida called wanting to know if I needed work. The offered long hours and big money. I don't know where they got my name.

I declined. My plate is full here.

I picked up a new foot switch last week on eBay for $10.00. Supporting the local economy. Linemaster is make about 5 miles from here.... auction...

Now the problem is " Can you find it when you want it " or " Opp's, didn't mean to step on that"

I happened across the auction by error and thought that I would just throw in a bid so I could keep track of it for future reference. I placed a $10.00 bid. I had expected to get out bid, but I didn't. I have found a lot of things like this in the past and have placed bids. Sometimes I get unlucky and win when I didn't intend to. A few weeks ago, I was at a flea market and I saw a Milwaukee portable band saw. It was marked $20, which I thought was a good deal. Had no use for it, but the seller said to "make an offer". I said that my offer would be ridiculous, but he again said "make an offer". I offered him $5.00 for it and he put out his hand. I now own a saw that I really don't need, but will sit in the corner of the garage till that day that I will need it. That is also the reason that my garage looks like it does. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I finally got to using the $5.00 portable band saw and now I am on the prowl for a table saw. My 20 year deck project is coming to a close and I need to rip a bunch of boards to the correct width. I have read all that has been posted, but times change. Any up to date suggestions as to the "best" buy in table saws? I have been looking locally for a used one, but haven't found any. Owned one many years ago, but loaned it to someone who never returned it.... too long ago to remember who. Seems that happens a lot to my tools. Someone asks to borrow them and they forget to return them. Someday, I will remember to keep a note as to who borrowed what that hasn't made it home.....

Cliff,
All the JD power tools are <font color="green">Htiachi</font> products. Hitachi and Deere have an agreement of some sort.
Even their excavators are made by Hitachi.
Hitachi is darn good stuff.
