Pretty! Hope your saw is not smoked.

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
~ C.S. Lewis

Thanks!
Me too.
Sigh. 😞
Keeping my fingers crossed.
If it is maybe it can be fixed.
Either way I'm not going back to my old saw.
I'm spoiled.

Does it have a belt? Motor smell like burned plastic?

I don't know I'll take a look.
It's actually more of a grinder on a stand than a saw. I didn't even see a model number but it looks like an mk-370.

Hopefully the TP hunt went well. It's ok, just a temporary setback. 😁 It went pretty well, hoping to get some pictures up tomorrow. Thanks Evan.

Thanks, I was nervous- I've never cut Chevron Amethyst before and didn't know quite how to do it.
