I can always tell Kevins replies... He repeats what he is replying to.

Imagine a conversation where you have to repeat what someone says before yoy reply.

Lordy, it could be long and boring.

Kev,

I'm jumping into this a little late, but what the heck, timing has never been my strong suit. Let's face it, when it comes to saws you're a beast. You use them so much you dominate them then destroy them. You are truly the "Sawminator". When it comes to your customers, you're kind of a softie. Sometimes you're going to get burned, but generally people love you for your generosity. I say keep up the good work!

You're the winner, Mr. Jim! Stopping & starting, getting to warm, to much tension on the bottom arm, blade size, type & thickness of wood, all these variables contribute to the wear & tear on our saws. Some breeds, such as Hawk, for instance, are built to withstand more hours of constant use, & all the above variables, & keep doing the job they're designed to do. I've got a CW-40 Hitachi w/close to 3000 hours on it. Bought it new. All I've done to it is replace the VS & power switch. And soon, the air bellows. Have never had an ounce of problems w/anything else. My Craftsman, that's a different story. My Hawk gets used 8 - 10, or more hours a day, I bought it nearly two years ago, used. It was 20 years old then. I've done some updating to it, but it'd hardly been used when I bought it. I keep parts around for all my saws, that way there is no down time during projects. As far as your other issue, I agree with what's been said. Get at least 50% up front, regardless of the cost of the project. That way, if nothing else, you're at least able to buy materials, & you're not stuck w/100% of the project. I've learned over the years that folks get big ideas in the beginning, but once they start seeing $$$ & bills, & find out wood & labor aren't as cheap as they first thought, then they don't want the project anymore. And this usually occurs when you're about half way thru the project. Live & learn.
