Popular Woodworking 2008-04 № 168, страница 17--Letters ■- CONTiNUED FROM PAGE 12 I found a stick of 1A" brass rod at my local Ace hardware store then cut the pieces to the required size. If you cannotfind any brass rod you can use 1A" steel rod or perhaps a wooden dowel. But, I would turn to wood in only the most dire of circumstances. — Glen D. Huey, senior editor Hybrid Table Saw Article I can't believe you did an article on hybrid table saws (November 2007, issue #165) and didn't even review one of the first saws to appear in this category - the DeWalt 746. Why didn't you include it? — Curt Clark, Elk Grove, California When we discussed hybrid saws we looked at features we wouldn't work without. One unanimous conclusion was a Biesemeyer or Biese-meyer-style rip fence. This fence system allows many opportunities for extra-curricular work such as attaching jigs — and the stalwart design is all but an industry standard. Unfortunately, the DeWalt hybrid saw does not come with this type offence. That eliminated it from consideration. I wish DeWalt would at least offer the DW746 with a Biesemeyerfence design as an option. We would have pulled one in for testing in a minute. I too, would like to see how the DeWalt stacks up against the competition. PW — Glen D. Huey, senior editor Question? Comment? We want to hear from you.
