As to buying one ... I called the Wagner Company in Broken Arrow, OK. They asked if I had a Woodcrafter's Store nearby so that is a place to get one. However, since I live in the boondocks (about half way between Tree Stump and North Succotash), I bought it direct from them ($42 + $5 shipping). There are apparently two different designs--one for the rotary saw, one for the drill press. Alan R.

(I know that the original manufacturer has sold the rights. And I suspect, that there may be more than one manufacturer, as well. Hence the conflicting information! Yikes!) You really got me wondering, so I went and checked mine. The only reference I could find, in the reprints of "Popular Mechanics" sheets, was "not over 5000rpm! Hmmm?! One thing that dawned on me was the fact that there are many different machines that this thingee can be used with. All, except the drill press are constant RPM! And, all turn at speeds in excess of what Tom and I have been using!!! So, the conclusion I would make, is that both of us have been using the tool a TOO LOW a speed! Thanks for the heads-up. Next time I'll try it at a higher RPM. Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Been There, Didn't Like It, So I'm Here To Stay!
