Yesterday was a bad carpentry day. No table saw = crappy outcome. I go to canadian tire site and they have a table saw on sale for 100 bux off. I just could not resist,so i grabbed the boss's truck and went and bought it. Set it up after work tonite, and for the money it works fantastic.Could not be happier.So no real point but i had to tell someone

Wait, you built your VP160 cabinet w/o a table saw? But didn't that prove to you that you don't need one? I'm kidding, of course, every household should have one, but you were sure a determined little caveman if you did it w/o.
No, no, don't tell me if the truth is otherwise. Hey, it's just more content for your mythic retelling of it, 25 years from now. "Yup, all I had was a rusted backsaw with 17 teeth missing, a #1 flathead screwdriver, a pencil and some glue. Not bad, eh kids?!"

So it's a Walmart competitor. Do its patrons also dress like nobody is watching?

Peter dances like nobody's watching. He also loves like his heart's never been broken.
So courageous.

Actually , Walmart ( your source for cheap plastic crap ) is not in the same league as CT. Up here we call it philipino tire, not a white guy in sight. No one wants to work for what they pay,and the owner is a douchebag. He sponsors philipino's and brings them here and they are more than happy to do the jobs us canucks wont do.
Oh yeah, i used the saw tonight,and it works great I dont know how the hell they can sell something like a table saw for 169.00 .

Of course you do. That saw was born on the same side of the Pacific as were the salespeople who sold it to you.

Although I loath their in aisle & counter customer service, Canadian Tire does have some good products. Their hand tools, wrenches etc, are a good quality and have a lifetime warranty that is super easy to deal with. If you do happen to break it, bring it back and they hand you a new one immediately, no questions asked.
If you are careful, you can get a really good deal on a good powertool because their sales are many and are usually big percentiles. But you have to do your research on the make and model number. They carry mostly low end, consumer model stuff but if you watch the flyers closely and get there fast, you can get a sweet deal on a decent make/model.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

I miss the days when Sears sold tools. ...and I mean tools, not injection molded cased "who's a good husband" sets... Bren R.

You mean you're not supposed to throw out that injection-molded plastic case -- with a hinge that's probably only goof for 500 open/close cycled before it lets go -- and throw all your tools in the 4' high wheeled steelcase cabinet you keep in the garage next to the vintage car?

i would recommend getting one of these blades... http://www.amazon.com/Freud-LU83R010-10-...9272&sr=8-1I have one on my compound miter saw, it cuts VERY nice and smooth.. Also, since it cuts with carbide tips it lasts quite long... they are not crazy expensive either...

Progress, i finally got a frame built for my speaker grills. First try was with pine, too soft, second try was with oak,the wood was right but it did not come out square. Third try after much thought, i cut a piece of scrap to the inside dimensions of the frame,then built the frame around it and it came out just right. I forgot to take pics of the back side,but what i did was inlayed small metal corner braces on the back which will attach to the magnets in the front face of the speaker cabinet. I cut a mortise with my router to inlay the corner braces. Scrap wood for jig Completed frame
