Title: Look what I just rec'd from Harbor Freight!
Post by: GrayBeard on June 28, 2011, 11:03:32 pm: This was in my email from HF a few minutes ago...

Hello,
I wanted to take a minute to personally introduce you to one of Harbor Freight's great new tools, the DoubleCut Saw!
Please go to http://www.harborfreight.com/doublecut-saw.html (http://www.harborfreight.com/doublecut-saw.html) to watch a video on this great new product!
Thank you for being a valued customer,

Eric
Chief Executive Officer

Anybody tried one of these things yet?

It does look interesting though! (Although that "no sanding" claim didn't hold true in the video when cutting that piece of plywood. :o )

Post by: tux_linux on June 29, 2011, 03:09:49 am: hmm, a bit too big for working on our kind of projects ain't it?

Also looks to me a bit dangerous, the blades of that thing can hurt as hell (I recently saw a TV show saying injuries gathered from saws have to be fixed at an average of 110 stitches :o )

But this might be an idea for scroll saws too - 2 blades working together...

And as you have probably read there will be no Sears by the end of 2012

Harbor must have got a good buy on the close out stock==add says less than 1/2 price.

Sorry about my ranting,its one of those days.
