Steve--
	We have had the Jepson for a number of years now.  The noise is 
comparable to an abrasive saw, a bit more shrill, and depending on the 
number of tooth fillings you may have, perhaps a bit more irritating 
but by no means overwhelming.  Hearing protection is still recommended.

	When the blade dulls, or breaks a tooth or two, it throws a 
respectable amount of sparks.  It does favor a bit more finesse by the 
operator, especially when cutting thinner stock.  The saw should be 
eased through the vertical legs of square tubing for example.

	Definitely buy an extra blade, and budget for re-sharpening.  W/o a 
sharp blade the thing is not particularly special.

	The advantages over the abrasive saw are more accurate cuts (no burr 
or burning with a reasonably sharp blade), sharp miters, you can cut 
threaded rod w/o having to chase the threads afterwards, and shave off 
that 1/32" of stock for a perfect fit.

	The Jepson is a pretty cheap tool, perhaps a domestic brand may be a 
bit more solidly built and make less noise.  I  have  replaced the 
blade guard handle when a student pushed too hard on it while the guard 
was not free to move, and the entire guard when it got bent by a short 
cut off piece that was jammed into it by the blade.

	Despite it's shortcomings, for a low volume shop like ours that cuts 
mostly lightweight stock, I'd definitely buy another one.

	Of course a cold saw would be my first choice if I had the money and 
the amount of work to justify the purchase.

I've used a dry cut (carbide tooth blade.. like
http://northwestpowertools.com/chop/1410.htm) and would never go back to an
abrasive cut saw.  The difference to me is like that between cutting a
mortise with a chisel or a screwdriver.

... okay, a really sharp screwdriver.

They're both loud and they both throw crap everywhere, but the dry cut is
faster and more accurate and gives a finer cut.

Laters,

Paul

Don't little lambs become yearlings just about the time the new model lambs
become available at the dealer?

I was able to download the Spectra Q Specification Sheet, which
includes the listing of the colors on the pre-fabricated strings.  I
couldn't copy the list out of the PDF, so you're stuck having to
download it yourself :)

Hey Jason...

Thanks for the congrats!  We'll see how it pans out.

We've got some work coming up at the end of the month.  I'm not in the office right now, so I'm not sure if it's there or not--but you should email me at work with your contact info.  Send to:  mccarthy [at] shakespearedc.org

As soon as I get replies from our "regulars" I'll email you the remaining calls.

Thanks again Jason!
