at angles other than 45 degrees... what is the best vs easiest method for getting a clean cut at an arbitrary angle? tia chris |

Don't really have access to HF up here in Canada...
Wonder If I could get an appropriate blade to use in my compound miter saw? almost seems like swatting a fly with a buick... but hey... if it works. "Moonraker" wrote in message ...

I have a small table saw (about 18"x18") and I use an "Inland tuff
steel" thin kerf blade for non-ferrous metals. Works great on lead, zinc,brass |

Inland huh? So I could most likely aquire that through my local glass
supplier? Thin kerf is good... how thin is it (less than 1/8" I would assume)? Whats the diameter? thanks for the tip. "vic" wrote in message om... I have a small table saw (about 18"x18") and I use an "Inland tuff steel" thin kerf blade for non-ferrous metals. Works great on lead, zinc,brass |

i may be able to find some old ones( carbon tuff) i used in a cheapo saw i
finally replaced with the Gryphon. It uses abrasive discs. MUCH safer on the fingers. If you would like me to dig for them, e-me. i would sell them for half what your price is plus postage.m "vic" wrote in message om... "Chris Gibson" wrote in message ... Inland huh?
