- I don't know about anyone else, but I had to reread your post in order to
- figure out that you actually wrote something. I'm in the habit of assuming
- any lines preceded by one or more >s is included text. But I didn't post
- to talk about that, I posted to talk about the draft.

- Oops, my apologies to Arlo Guthrie ;-)

- That flange on the Delta is for a padlock. You stick one through the holes
- on the flange, and noone can turn the saw on (or off, if you should happen
- to put the lock on with the switch in the on position). Remember that, although
- it may well be the most commonly used shop saw, the Contractor's Saw was
- designed for use by contractors (surprise, surprise). So many of the "features"
- make a lot more sense on a job site than in the shop (like a padlock on the
- on/off switch, lightweight extentions, no dust collection port, etc). If
- Delta were clever, they would make a CS equivalent designed for home shop use
- (at the same price as the CS) with a few differences more apropos of the
- home shop environment.
