I'm building a play ramp for my dogs and my Skil saw isn't doing the job. It's a cheaper one and I don't have a steady enough hand to cut it straight...I need better equipment. Heh. I have a 10 inch Ryobi miter that I'm about to put on Craig's List. I have no idea what to ask for it. Quote

For what it's worth. There is mounting evidence that the acl issue might be connected to early neutering, ie less than a year, and puppy diets that promote unusually fast growth. My son's dog, a beautiful 65 lb white swiss shepherd, had the same thing happen. Two acl's seven months apart. We just picked up a new puppy for us, a Golden/Swiss Pyrenees mix. He's 11 seeks old now, and we aren not having him neutered until he is slightly over a year old. Had a lengthy conversation about this with our vet and the guy who did the two acl surgeries. Quote

Royale with Cheese Posted February 4 Posted February 4 (edited) For all my Miter Saw homies out there… I bought a 12 inch, double bevel sliding Bosch. My friend is a Master Carpenter and sold this one to me for $500, retails for $900. He wants a new Makita. I was going to wait until the spring to do my porch but I am starting today. I feel like a kid with a new toy and just want to use it all the time. Cutting angles weren’t always easy for me but this thing does it perfectly without difficulty.

sherpa Posted February 4 Posted February 4 3 hours ago, Royale with Cheese said: What is the reason for it? Have the Vets come up with theories? The theory is that having normal sex hormones produced by the ovaries/testes has some effect on the joints and even behavior and cognitive ability. There are a bunch of youtubes discussing this, and most name reliable studies. The juiced up puppy food evidently causes slightly more rapid growth and less time for the joints joints and associated parts to keep up, resulting in problems down the line at relatively normal joint stress levels. Anyway, based on discussions I had with our vet at our pups first visit this week, and the guy who did the two acl's on my son's dog, (he says he's now doing six acl's/week), I'm holding off the neutering until at least the 13 month old timeframe.

Damn, I never knew this. Ive had one male dog, never neutered. I have two females and one was spayed at roughly 15 months. The other around 10. Quote

They complain that they can’t use the entire saw because some of the wood can’t handle it. Some wood needs giant saws, some wood is perfectly with small Dremel’s but honestly would prefer more but the Dremel is nice. Mid sized saw will do the job almost every time. Quote
