Yesterday, while cutting pieces of wood trim with my miter saw, the blade caught a small chunk that must have slipped into the space below the plastic kerf plate. The saw emitted a loud WANG and bucked slightly.
Not good.
When I inspected the saw, I
immediately noticed considerable damage to the plastic kerf plate. I've had the
saw for years, but I was hopeful I could find a new plate somewhere on the vast
stretches of the internet. For my first attempt, I popped onto Amazon and input
the model number of my saw. A dropdown menu immediately appeared, and “Miter
Saw Parts” was one of the items listed. When I clicked on it, I was pleasantly
surprised to see that my saw's kerf plate was the very first item for sale.
In just a couple of clicks, a new
plate was on its way to me. Apparently, busting up your saw's kerf plate is a
common occurrence.
As a final note: “kerf” is a pretty
cool word, and I’d like to find a poem where I can use it.
