>that you've got a pre-adjuster-lever 78 there? 78s are neat and, in my opinion, under-respected tools. Lots of uses.

>I had a pre-adjustment 78 and loved it. When installing square edge flooring, I could lay it on it's side and trim the edges of boards with it. Unfortunately I lost that one in a fire several years ago. I now have a Sweet Heart era '78 with all the bells and whistles. I really like it too.

>The pre adjuster #78 (or a converted later model) is under-rated, I think. It is very useful in the shop. Good luck with yours. (And just how do you convert a later model? Why, just remove that pesky little adjuster and set the blade by hand.)

>Privilaged to get my hands on it.About all I did was take it out of the box and just LOOK AT the blade and its set. Dummy proof. Another advantage to WC . . . if you whine a bit someone steps up to shut you up !
