<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Thanks for supplying the web link for the
DeWalt saw. I assume that the shoe of this saw, unlike that of an ordinary
reciprocating saw, and due to its “flush cutting” capability is
able to ride directly on the pinblock (not on the stretcher top) and still make
a cut only 1/8” from the stretcher. Did I get that right? The photo of
the tool found at the link below suggests bulk and girth that would not really
allow that due to the height of the stretcher from the top of the block. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

“lock-on” switch? I like that this tool is relatively lightweight,
compact and powerful; and if it indeed rides on the top of the block there is
much to recommend it.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
