I bought last year that is still sitting in the case looking all new and stuff. I bought it on a whim but never bothered to use it yet. This is great to learn new things.
Except now I have to buy a Band Saw. By the time I'm done these horns are gonna run me a thousand bucks. So much for .99c vanes.
Now we need a very high quality Back-loaded bass horn to match. And a custom designed tube crossover for bi-amping.
Plus two PP 845 triode amps to drive the bass and a SE 300B for the HF.
Did I miss anything?

Thanks Garman for your continued efforts on behalf of this project all kidding aside.

Unless you're using 2" thick material, a regular old jigsaw will do fine. Get the cheapest saw and install the most expensive blade.

is the second best thing in my shop, my Bosch sliding compound miter is the best. Smooth, sweet, awesome power. I am a bosch dealer, and absolutely love their tools.

BTW, the bosch jigsaw is hands down best on the market. Uses an odd blade however.

Yes; I read the reviews in several publications before I bought my router and they all said the Bosch jigsaw was the best out there. Handplaner also.

The only Bosch tool I own is their jam saw. I've never used it, but our subs swear by it.

I bought a Bosch 2.25 HP plunge router a couple of years ago - best damn tool I own.

Are they using it for an undercut saw? I get occasional calls for those, and they're too expensive to justify. I've looked at this and it would be more general purpose, but I thought it looked awkward.

Might be the same one. I had to give up the garage due to remodeling chores but now I can get back into the swing of the thing. Use it for this horn project ; the Smithy.

Yeah, the tile guys use it for an underust saw. None of the crews I've worked with in the past own one, but they sure love the fact that I have one.

Stupid me did not get the package that included the miter attachment. This would have saved a lot of time in 1/4 round installs and other small trim. There would be no getting up and going outside to cut on a miter saw. The cuts could be done right next to where it's getting installed. Over a couple of jobs it would have paid for itself in saved labour cost alone.....C
