    the molly bolt is long enough, If it to short, the molly will also do what you describe.

    for two reasons. (1) the brick mold is usually installed last and (2) never ignore what you wife is saying or all h*ll will be raised or you will get a number of ‘I told you so’.

    McSherry, I think a Formica surface would do the job, but for cutting fabic it might be a little slippery. Also, maybe tempered masonite might be a good choice. I have seen the cuuting table that you refered to, but I didn’t pay much attention to the surface material.

    Go buy a cheap analog vom meter, about$10.00 at your local hardware store, use that and you will find that it will read zero. On some open circuits, my DVM will read greater than 0, sometimes as high as 70 volts, but my inexpensive analog VOM will read zero, it just depends on the high impedance of the voltmeter, introducing erronious readings.

    If you are using a high impedance DVM, which most are, you will get a erronious voltage(phantom) reading across the switch. It means nothing and just an artifact of the circuit.

    I couldn’t find the code you needed on my remote code website, the only thing I can think of is unplugging(not turning off) the TV and letting it set for about five minutes. This will usually reset the TV to the factory value.

    Jayshunee, go to this website, you can buy a copy of the manual you need from them. Look under 158.1754, the final zero is not needed. The website is

    I thought the same thing also. I looked into the user profile, as I thought he wasn’t from the US. No info. I am curious also.

    You can get burial-rated cat3 line, if it is not burial-rated, it must be put in conduit.

    Check my arithmetic.

    D = diameter.
    C = Circumference.
    pi = 3.14159 ……..

    D = 8 ft
    C = pi X 8 ft = 25.13274

    Width of finished 2X8 = 7.25 in

    Number of boards = (25.1324 X 12) / 7.25
    = 41.6
    ~ 42 boards
    Sum of interior angles (regular polygon) = (180(n-2) = 180(42-2) = 180(40) = 7200 degrees.

    Interior angle = 7200/42 = 171.428….

    Cut angle is 1/2 of that = 85.714 ~ 86 degrees.

    I think, that is correct.

    you insert a small bladed screwdriver into the slot and push in, It should release the trim plates.

    You might try this website. At a quick glance, I didn’t see you model but you might try contacting them and see if they can get you one. They have hundreds of Kenmore sawing machine manuals.

    jhart102, yes there is. Here is the website for just an item. I am sure their website will tell you, where you can get one and if you can oder direct from them. I remember it because I watch the TOH episode that they are talking about.
