This is a 3 in 1 set up for a portable bandsaw. If you have been looking to make one or about to buy one definitely check it out. While it's a wall mounted/table top design, it can be used hand held at anytime without the use of tools. This design is something that's been progressively improved upon, tweaked, and modified for the last 20 years and it's perfect for me and my needs right now. There are similar concepts and designs but if you're going to buy or build one like it please ask yourself a few of questions. Is it a unitasker? Can I change modes without using tools or fiddling with fasteners? Is it simple to operate? You'll be glad you did. Those were the things that guided me to build this configuration.

Fictionality issues?

What are those?

I couldn't resist, since it's so close to being a real word...

I almost liked it better the way it was.

I think "Fictionality" is a great candidate for a new word. It could be defined as the status or quality of an "alternative fact", as in "That statement gets high marks for fictionality."

You do know the OED not only accepts new words regularly, but recognizes a "ten best" each year?

I so wish that were the case. Vocabulary, spelling, pronunciation, grammar, and syntax are where I express strong OCD characteristics. If there were a record for post edits in the moderator logs, I'd certainly be at the top for fixing the tiniest things in my comments. I even had a friend on facebook add me to a group called, "Grammar Nazi Party". I'm not that jackass who corrects strangers, but the group is a great place to bitch about the poor language skills we encounter every day. Professional journalists irk me the most, since they should know better.
