Just thought I'd pass this along....since after building a plane
I ended up addicted to Harbor Freight.
The High-Speed air body saw: 91753-5BPB is on sale now for $14.99.
I found it useful a few times, but especially for the landing
lights in the wingtip...it worked great for that.

I picked up one last time it was on sale for 14.99. A good deal. Some
observations
1) Save your receipt - my saw failed while working on the fiberglass
top. Couldn't figure out what broke but it is RIP. Not a big deal at
$15 but I couldn't find the receipt for a warranty return. (but I am by
no means recommending the HF extended warranty)
2) If you plan to use it on fiberglass - get lot's of blades. Or
better yet, see if you can find or fashion a carbide grit blade for it.
That would be a fiberglass master tool for many of the canopy cuts. I
ended up with a carbide grit blade on a (too big) reciprocating saw and
cutting down the width of the saw so it would turn a tighter radius.
Worked well... the HF saw would have been perfect with a grit saw blade.
3) Tim has a very steady head and nerves of steel. I did a cutout for
my wingtip lights and scared the living crap out of myself. I used a
die grinder and a hand file on the other one.

I used my saw for a lot of things, but found the HF blades near worthless. Has anyone found a better quality, ready to use blade that will fit this saw? I would rather build airplanes than saw blades (just in case I become a repeat offender).
