Yay for the Princess Bride quotes (an obviously well educamated Dad!)
while making plunge cuts, Last night at Men's Shed I was cutting a hole in a sheet of customwood that was held upright in a vice (the only one in the shed) with a hand held Skill Saw as various other guys were wincing about safety and all. Plunge cuts into a vertical piece of material, no less, but all good fun. We're attempting to resuscitate an ancient (~1950) flat bed planer which came without a motor. We got as far as firing up the scrounged motor we had for it to discover it was rotating in the wrong direction. So next week it's drag out that 1/4 horse 110VAC motor I rescued out of an old computer about 15 years ago and see if that will do the trick. And yes I do have a 240VAC in 110VAC out transformer to go with it. It's currently configured as a fan, but We Can Fix That!
