Sliding Miter Saw - Choosing Between a 12 Inch and 10 Inch Model
The 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 inch models are generally purchased for very specific work by a tradesman and are not used as general purpose machines due to their size. The real battle arises when the choice has to be made between the 10 inch and the 12 inch models. These two sizes are the stars of the sliding miter saw market and manufacturers pull all the stops to advertise these particular models. So if we are going to buy, we have to choose between the more attractively priced 10 inch model and the more expensive 12 inch model.
In general manufacturers include the bells and whistles on both their 10 inch and 12 inch models, therefore the choice comes down to some very basic factors which we will analyze.
The terms 10 inch and 12 inch refer to the diameter of the saw blade in the machine. A sliding miter saw has a distinct advantage over their less glamorous family the non-sliding model in that sliding saws have a much wider crosscut length.
A saw with a 12 inch blade has the ability to cut thicker pieces compared to the 10 inch model. For the tradesman who has to dimension thick pieces, the extra 2 inches on the blade makes the 12 inch model indispensable on the work site.
Conversely for the majority of handymen and weekend warriors, a 10 inch saw will complete just about all the projects they will experience such as dimensioning 2x4's for framing, large picture frame molding, crown molding and weekend decking jobs. The extra $250 for a 12 inch sliding miter saw is hard to justify especially for the handymen and weekend warriors.
When deciding which model sliding miter saw to acquire one must also consider the weight of the tool. A 12 inch sliding miter saw is quite heavy compared to a 10 inch and if the tool has to be frequently moved it can be quite frustrating and hazardous moving a tool from point to point on a work site. The blade size also adds an increased replacement cost as 12 inch blades are more expensive and even when having the blade re-sharpened the extra teeth on the 12 inch blade are an additional cost.
It is good to remember that even if a job comes along suited more along the lines of a 12 inch saw, most of us have a portable table saw which can also do crosscuts with a suitable jig. A cross cut jig for a table saw is very easy to construct within 15 minutes and this solution frees up extra cash for the purchase of other more critical tools.
In the final analysis a 10 inch sliding miter saw will be sufficient to satisfy the needs of the weekend warrior and the handyman. The advanced tradesman however will need to consider the 12 inch sliding miter as a viable addition to his tool kit, even though he may already own a 10 inch model, based purely on the increased volume of work he has to do on a daily basis and the sizes of stock that may be involved.

How A Model Made Workboots Chic
Fashion has everything to do with image and very little to do with substance. A designer dress can make an otherwise normal woman look extraordinary. Conversely, a supermodel can make an ordinary pair of boots look fashionable.
Jenn is a household name now and needs little introduction. Everyone knows that she started modelling when she was just fifteen and was in demand on the Paris catwalks by the time she hit her twenties. Then Lancome offered her the deal of a lifetime. All she had to do was put on a little Lancome eye cream in front of a camera and she was set for life.
Jenn had it made, but unlike a lot of supermodels, she didn't take herself or her success too seriously. She stayed out of the limelight as much as possible and enjoyed nothing more than traveling incognito and seeing the world.
She wanted to see it all, but she particularly liked getting away from it all and hiking in remote mountain areas, jungles and deserts. Everywhere she went, she took her favorite pair of old dirty leather brown boots. She loved those boots more than any of the haute couture she had ever worn on the catwalk.
Jenn was in Nairobi when it happened. She had just returned from a safari and was staying at a five star resort. After taking a well-earned shower and fixing her hair, she got dressed and went out to do a little shopping. Although she was wearing a fashionable skirt and top, she felt like wearing her boots, so she did.
She went out onto the street and went for a walk through the fashionable district of the city. While Jenn was browsing, a leather watch captured her attention. It was a perfect match with her boots, so she went inside and bought it. The purchase put her in a good mood, so she called her friends and told them to meet her in the hotel bar.
A paparazzo recognized her in the bar and snapped a picture of her as she was admiring her new watch. A week later, her picture was on the cover of a glossy fashion magazine. Within a few weeks, girls in the most fashionable cities in the world were seen wearing brown workboots.
The story doesn't end there, though. While it was the boots that caught everyone's eye first, they then began to notice the watch. It was just a cheap watch and besides, its brand name wasn't visible. Jenn's manager had a brainstorm and had a watchmaker make duplicates. They marketed them as 'Jennwatch' and they sold like hotcakes!
I need the manual / directions for a Craftsman Laser Sabre Saw - Model 320 17256?
Sears will send me one for $10 and I won't receive it until Monday. Is there a way to obtain this manual quicker and cheaper - maybe even free??
Sears does not put this info online. Unless someone has one and wants to share, you will need to buy it. I have done this with a few tools I bought used. I have found that if you have it sent to a store, you can save shipping charges. At least thats the way it is here.
