Gordon, The problem as I see it is in mounting. My first inclination was to remove the sides of the piano and mount the jig with a brackett directly to the piano, which still seems to be the best solution. You can buy panel saw kits that include all of the hardware and the glides for about $200.00. The beam cutter is $125.00 and the worm drive saw, I think, is about $300.00. The stability thing is something, I'll admit, that I hadn't thought of I was thinking that all I would need to do is mount a track and slide the saw right on down. I hadn't considered binding or kickback or any of the important thingsthat prevent one from losing limbs while working with power tools. Part of the reason I wanted to open this up for discussion is because I tend to think simplistically and I needed the type of minds that frequent this list. I appreciate the ideas so far. Keep those cards and letters coming. Whomever (aka Michael Campi) _________________________________________________________________ Get ready for school!
