A hollow ground planer blade has no "set" in the teeth, i.e. the teetharen't bent out from the plane of the blade like on a normal "free-cutting"blade. They make a beautiful cut, but do tend to bind and burn unlessthey're really sharp and the wood is straight-grained and stress free. Butthat's a pretty good description of what we use for our planes. I boughtall of my capstrop material cut to size and had very little ripping to do onthe project, so a smooth finish wasn't an issue. I used inexpensive carbideblades for everything.Kent, let us know how the inverted sabre saw works for you. I had such anarrangement before I could afford my bandsaw, and hated it. My sabre saw isabout one step better than asking a beaver to gnaw through.Gene HubbardSan Diego________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2001 11:24:19 -0500

Kent,When I was a kid about 40 years ago I mounted my dad's Sears sabersaw upsidedown in an old wooden milk crate. Worked really good. Just be real careful.There aren't any guards on the blade. Make sure the motor has goodventilation.Good luck,George AllenHarrisburg, PAGeorgeA(at)PAonline.com(wait'n for wood Peit'. builder)> Kent, let us know how the inverted sabre saw works for you.
