Combination Chop Saw and Table Saw

Walking around Bruges on my recent Europe trip, I spotted this interesting tool near a construction job site. It’s a combination table saw and chop saw. Not probably the best thing in the world for building fine furniture, but I bet the owner of this tool likes carrying one tool around instead of two! Pretty cool idea, actually. I think the table saw fence doubles as a guard for the top of the blade when you’re using it as a chop saw.

Posted a bunch of our trip photos to Flickr yesterday. I have some more things to share from the trip, and I’ll be sharing those over the next few days. For now, it’s out to the shop!

    That saw looks like it would be scary to use. But it is a cool idea. I have never seen anything like it!

    I am glad you had a good trip. I checked out your pictures on flickr. Looks like some really interesting architecture and plenty of good beer.
