I went ahead and accepted the blades supplied and they have 7 teeth for every 2". I whacked a piece of old 3by2 hardwood framing timber, species unknown, all I know is it is hard and dense, through...

Come the revolution Comrade.....

If there is any truth in this, why did you bother writing a constitution
