nice column saw in the background Mike (y) Behringer?
Nah it's from UK Saws, it works away fine, double mitre with digital angle readout works good, like everything else only works as good as the operator at the controls

the Bauer 350 I had from new, was a double mitre on a turntable .. material stayed in line and the whole saw turned under it 30/90/45 was a very accurate tool (with the same proviso as yours)

This should be in today's f×××ups rather than today's job...
Layed 8 paving slabs as pads for my soon to be positioned semi mobile shed a few days ago, ground dropped off way more than I thought but cracked on. Decided that the lower ones would need more than one slab to bring the height up, not ideal but never mind. Going to trim them off and haunch it up after I've landed the shed.
From the second mix onwards I was struggling to get the mix to darken, no mater how much cement i put in, and what was coming out was very very hard to work, then didn't set nice at all.
Anyway, had a bit of time this morning, got started on a mix, pulled the tarp off the bags of 'dust'- its bloody Postmix!!!🤬😮🤦🏻😂😂😂
How I failed to read the label on 3 bags as I used them is beyond me!
To be honest I was relived, thought I was going mad, couldn't make a mix and I had no idea where 20 bags of 'cement' had come from, but I know exactly where the post mix has come from 😅 😂

As it turned out was ok. 7' deep, 8' long, 7' wide, it went in fine. Was an old pet, but inherited by the current owners so not too emotional. Fair way from their house as well, across a couple of pretty wet fields. Took about 3 hours from start to finish, big open field shelter so was easy enough to extract, sloppy ground meant it slid well, tidied everything up after. Did a bit better than @doobin 's recommended 65 per hour, rate wasn't questioned.
Well I've had a call from a customer....Guess that's my weekend job this week.

Thing is I've only got the 2t machine, the 2.8t went on Tuesday....sods law.
