Cutting and Cleaning. If you get any body part near that blade its a really bad day. Really fast. Worst thing is...

    Lowes is running OKJ  Highland for $254.00 for Labor day and I think I saw its til the 15th. I just got 1 and going to get 1 more as you can't buy metal for that and it a good starting point. Regardless of the simple complaints. You sure couldn't get the metal cut and weld it yourself for $254...
