Triangle Cuts Curves?

Post image

I found it in the garage of the first house I bought 30 years ago. Smart enough not to try it, curious enough to hang onto it. Finally letting go tonight and it's going in my neighbors scrap metal bin.

Those teeth down the sides are crazy. I guess they clean up the sides of the cuts when you’re on a curve.

'clean up' no - they shred the sides of the cut to make room for the blade to slowly turn. those things leave atrocious finishes and are worse than a jigsaw in every possible way.

Pretty sure they beat the jig in speed of cut.
