   Bioman,
   This was a popular item until they started overcharging on the accessories.It also got a bad review in The Medieval Woodworker magazine.

   You guys are all SICK :-) (and to think, I laughed at all of your posts. I guess that makes me just as bad).

   Thanks for a good chuckle...

   Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with chalk, cut it with an ax.

   Mark,
   Hey, who's the sick one here -- is it us, or the manufacturer who made The Saw without splitters or blade guards? Do you know how many operators lost a finger with one of these?

   Matt,
   Showed this thread and your post to my wife. She chuckled too...After using one of those saws, can I say I'm "half the man I used to be."Mark

   I hear Grizzly is going to carry a Taiwanese knock off at half the usual price...

   Paul,
   Will Grizzly also sell the riser block (for taller folks)?

   Matthew,

   Lie-Nielsen makes a reproduction of this saw but with an excelent depth control mechanism and the handles are solid cherry (Rosewood 25$ extra)

   Veritas has come out with their own modern version of the saw with the Japanese style, cuts on the pull stroke, tooth pattern.

   By the way, you're all a bunch of sicko's for laughing at these tasteless jokes.

   brianmexico,
   That's terrific! Who says hand tools aren't useful anymore.I hear there was a time when some people tried doing this with a power saw, but...well, the results were rather nasty.

   Matthew,

   There's a powered version offered by delta but I fould the dust extraction less than satisfactory because of repeated clogging.

   Hand tools are just a little cleaner and you don't have to wear eye proteccion (ear proteccion in this case is recomended to drown out the screaming)

   FWW should do a review on these things.

   Where do you get that kind of saw sharpened or don't they bother? KDM
