That is contrary to my experience.  My hand cut joinery leaves something 
to be desired, and my rips while straight, are far from perpendicular to 
the face of the board.

Eric, one of the recent discussions contains a link to the frame saw I

And if you'd like to ping me offline I'd interest in hearing where 
abouts you are in Minnesota and what you do as a glorified typist.  I'm 
also a glorified typist at a contract medical device development firm
