Mechanical-minded tester who builds fixtures to score cut accuracy, speed, dust, and ergonomics. Documents setups so readers can replicate results at home or on site.

Only outcomes matter: square, clean, fast cuts with low variance.

A cabinet install ran long when a 'pro' saw wandered two degrees over a 10-foot rip. I clamped a makeshift guide, timed repeats, and logged deviation by material. The results humbled my assumptions and seeded my obsession: rank tools by measured cuts, not marketing claims.

I prefer systems that deliver measurable repeatability over perceived power or brand loyalty.
