    Broken blade guard

    Set up my 10 year old Delta 36-220 miter saw to cut 2x's today and the screw that attaches the blade guard to the control arm broke out of the plastic.

    Great Dado Blade!

    Hey Guys, I just picked up a new Freud Dado Pro blade, and it is really sweet. I was using an Oldham previously, due to using my router table for dadoes more often, but this thing is accurate, and makes seriously flat bottom dadoes. Later, Dom

    Freud Blade Stabilizer

    I just bought a Freud Blade Stabilizer for my 10" Delta Contractor saw. When I opened the package, I found 2 stabilizers. Does one go on each side of the blade or are there 1 stabilizer for 2 applications? I thought that they only went on the outside of the blade, but must be wrong. Thanks...
