Anybody know of a place to get a decent chop saw for cheap? I have about destroyed the Makita I borrowed from my buddy cutting flat stock and 4" angle. Was looking at Milwaukees but I cant justify the cost yet...

Beer is always considered good for trade. How thick are you trying to cut? 1/4 is about the max for the cutter and you have to go very slow. Just FYI.
i happen to have access to the scrap wood that comes off the bodies of the guitars we make... >.<

i still cant figure something out. i replaced the water pump on my rig, same thermostat (superstant 195*, not even a month old), new upper and lower radiator hoses, but here is the thing.

my jeep can idle at 210 with no electric fan, just the mechanical. i have to replace the fan switch in the radiator (i know the relay gets power). as soon as i get on the highway, temps drop to 160 and stay there untill i get off the highway. my theory is that the hoses i got from pepboys were less in diameter (not by that much) than the hoses they replaced. is it possible that by putting those smaller hoses on, increased the flow of coolant and is causing it to run too cool on the highway? im stumped.

Continuing on the chop saw post, anybody ever use one of the dry cut chop saws? They are the ones that look like a miter saw on steroids lol

yeah that is true. besides, i dont even think anya has a phone. besides, i only know dukie and anya's online personalities, and like dukie more. anya almost made me the next mike (he asked if he could use my driveway to repair his jeep, so i made the excuse that my lanlord said that it isnt allowed, and that my gravel driveway is crooked, maybe some land mines...)
