Hello Everyone, my name is Gary. I am from Florida. and I am hooked.
This place is crazy with so much information, I've stayed up until 5 am or so just browsing and learning..
After purchasing a Crafstman and cutting a few things, I realized right away that the saw needed to be returned to the store, simply because it would look weird sitting next to the Dewalt that I was going to get. After cutting a few things I knew I wanted something better and so far I am happy that I made the leap.
I have cut one thing since I got the Dewalt up and running, a letter Wow what a difference..I actually wanted to cut something with inside cuts instead of something without. Im a letterhead at heart so I expect alot of my projects will be letter related at first. Anyways, thats my intro, thanks to all the people here with sharing their knowledge, their pictures, all of it, so that others can get better. Thanks.
