I've been working on a job building custom windows. My shop and all, literally all, my tools were either broken, dead, rusty or otherwise in need of rehabilitation. Spent the better part of a month repairing and rebuilding and dialing-in the shop and tools.

Got to work on cutting the parts. No problems so far, knock wood. I needed to make a spacer for my dado set so I planed a piece of wood to the desired thickness and I put a new blade on the band saw to cut the circle, I set the tracking and tension and the new blade was fantastic. I needed to re-adjust the guide block and as I was tightening it the screw didn't snug up; the %@#%& casting split at the screw hole.

No biggie, $6.00 part except... except... no one has this discontinued POS in stock.

Fuckers.

I'm going to see if I can silver solder whatever shitty pot metal they used.

0/10 Would not break this part again.
