- Wellllll.... actually, having been keeping an eye out for tools
- of various sorts lately... I've come to the conclusion that nobody who
- makes these tools actually *uses* them. Not a chance. Not just Sears mind
- you, but Ryobi and (gasp!) Delta too. I have yet to see a damn table saw
- that is easily and repeatably adjustable, has a decent fence, has a decent
- mitre adjustment, has a decent safety guard, etc... same for other parts
- on other types of power tools... They appear to be designed specificaly
- for occaisional inconvenient use, and made ready-to-break. The truly
- annoying thing is, that for $1.00 more in materials and some common sense
- in design, they could build a perfectly wonderful useful machine that
- would last for years and years.

- Flames to /dev/null...
