    That is when you go back to the second store and tell them you have found a better price and demand that they beat it by 10% and watch their faces when you show them that it is another Bunnings

    I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

    Blade arrived Wednesday - over a week to deliver thanks to Australan Post
    Finally fitted it today and look it for a test run on some scrap 6mm ply.
    1) Had to alter the top wheel position to get the blade tracking central. It wanted to run at the rear of the wheel using the 1/4" blade position.
    2) had to alter rear bearing position
    3) seems to cut O/K. Straight lines fine (probably won't get used much for that - more a job for the 1/4"), nice tight curves no problems although it does leave some "burn" marks which is probably just me trying too hard
    For the price, it's a keeper as far as I'm concerned.
