Jesus christ it literally is a circular saw blade... I was expecting to see a 4" cutter from a horizontal mill which is actually designed to cut metal!

Those blades are designed to be used in counter‐rotating pairs. The teeth of each blade come together from opposite directions and act like tin snips. When you only use one blade, it is extremely liable to kick back. e: You can get an idea of how it’s supposed to work in this image (also I like their slogan):

 If you tried that in Australia, Safework would have you bent over removing the contents of your bank accounts violently before throwing your stupid arse in prison, ESPECIALLY if someone got injured by it!

I've done a bunch of wood carving with an angle grinder blade and it's a whole lot of fun and not very safe overall, but using one for metal fabrication sounds crazy.

I picked up these guys a couple days ago on Amazon for $5 flat. I am not sure why they priced it that way. I hope it wasn't a scam from a 3rd party seller.

Kids! Go find your dads fingers! They weren't able to re-attach them so it was futile anyhow. But hey, life loving experience was had by the 3 of us!

Having grown up in a farming community, I've seen many people take unnecessary risks and more than my share of missing fingers. And I've seen a few friends who stayed in that area end up with mangled hands, feet, and legs, from factory jobs.

In an estate sale on craigslist someone listed a circular saw in its original box for $35. I got it for 30. It was a Makita 5402-a I'm not a small man, but drat, I would have a hard time accurately wielding this 16 5/16" blade motherfucker.

Christ, the saws I use at the firehouse to cut up roofs, cars, and other poo poo are 14" max. That thing is loving huge. The torque on that thing when it's spinning must be insane.

It's a scam, the order won't go anywhere and it's incumbent on you to remember to get your money back a month from now or whenever. I've bought similar vaporware things from ebay, amazon, and even some crappy sketchy site called dealscube, alll instances where the price was too good to be true. Just don't do it, I had to do a credit card chargeback on the last one, it's just a huge pain in the butt. Also, Amazon's customer service is pretty much nonexistent, just fyi. E: Here's a good article about it: http://www.pymnts.com/amazon/2017/sellers-lose-thousands-as-amazon-marketplace-is-hit-by-hackers/ Also, check out haveibeenpwned.com to see where you've been part of a hack and what information was stolen there. This site is fantastic, they'll give you details about exactly what's been compromised so you know for instance that you shouldn't be using your linked in password or something like that.

 I've literally never had a bad experience with amazon customer service. Maybe being a prime member helps? I mean, it's not as good as it was a few years ago, but it's certainly better than most

It will be the first time getting scammed on Amazon since I joined, but I have read about what you're describing happening more and more. I've requested an order cancellation already. I guess I'll see where it goes.

Have you ever actually tried to find a contact link to talk to someone? They bury it quite well, and in their latest iteration of the website you basically have to go through the automated process with your order return first before being given an option, way down at the bottom in the fine print. Anything that falls outside of generic option return/replacement is quite difficult. For instance, they shipped me a wrong model of something, and it was a nightmare to try and get it replaced with the right thing, at the price I bought the original hot air rework station for. Or you buy something and two days later it drops in price 75%, good luck getting them to refund any difference, you'll have to return it paying the shipping, and reorder it at the lower price. Or you get the other extreme, where their system just doesn't show either you or them an option to return something, so if you can actually talk to someone, they may just refund you the entire thing and tell you to keep it. That's what happened with my 140$ battery UPS backup. I wanted to return it because it was half off somewhere else, but the return option was greyed out for some reason, so they just refunded me and told me to keep it Amazon is great for a lot of things, but if you fall outside the vanilla automated order return options... Good luck.

I replaced all the interior door hardware in my house last night with the help of a new Wera Lasertip Phillips, and it lived up to the hype. Worn stripped screws came out like new ones, and it never slipped out of a new screw. I was even able to leave the driver hanging 90 degrees out of a new screw.
