Zen and the Art of Novice Woodworking
Something about this little forum post’s tone resonated with me some reason, in some abstract zen way. SCMS = Sliding Compound Miter Saw.
I made do with a 10 inch SCMS of one brand or another for years,
using the, “if there is a will there is a way principle.”
So when the next opportunity to justify a new saw presented itself,
I purchased a 12. On its first day at the job, that thought ran again
through my pointy head. Why on these little green acres, did I not get one
like this in the first place?
Because I am not clairvoyant and neither is any one else.
The fact is you never know just what job is on the horizon.
Remember the book of “I nevers” is never completed.
This may or may not help in your decision.
