Although it just means that if you test the voltage of what you are plugging it into that multiplied by 15A (not really sure if it would draw quite that much except under heavy load) the number you get would be the actual wattage. yeah, these days plenty of different voltages are tossed out for the standard 110/120/125 and even 130.

Am I missing something? If current times voltage equals watts, then volts equal watts divided by amps, which means 1950 / 15 = 130 volts? Am I missing something?

While the heat of the summer sun might be expected to be the cause , I find that it happens even more in the winter when its dark and cold. Re Dan Says:

Smoking? Gambling? Staying out late at night? Get a grip! A vise clamps with a twist, but releases with a counter twist. A vice clamps without request and never lets go. I feature both vices and vises, by the way. Which vice does this saw feature? Smoking? Gambling? Staying out late at night? Get a grip! A vise clamps with a twist, but releases with a counter twist.

Nothing too fancy. They don't have a lot of bells and whistles, and they seem accurate enough. I used them both to install trim and they both were accurate enough to do that.

I've used a couple of Dewalts, and I'd say it's almost as good. But it can be had cheaper than $100 - it's $75 including shipping at http://www.reconditionedsales.com/Hitachi_C10FCE2_10_Compound_Miter_Saw_(Reconditioned)___i350.aspx (reconditionedsales.com).

I've had particularly good luck with their angled finnish nailers and coil roofing nailers. We also use some of their construction staplers and 1 inch roofing stapler.
