    New Incra Miter Gauge

    Looks like the new Incra Miter 1000HD is the reason the SE has been on sale recently. I just bought the SE for $99 from Woodpeckers. The new HD is listed as $189. :eek: The difference is the number of angle stops (180 vs 41)

    Swing Arm Saw

    First time I have seen one of these. Seems to me that the blade would swing up and toward the operator. How would this be used? It is a listing on eBay and part of the description says: "These saws are no longer allowed by OSHA in commercial shops" Can't imagine why. :eusa_thin
