But not in the way you would think

so i start i decided that i want to cut some laburnum up so all is going well go to the last couple of cut and the saw almost stops so i thought i know the problem and it was what i though the main drive pulley had come loss again it be like it for a bit but the head is shagged so i sat and thought and then the light bulb moment that chuck i bought a while back came with some grub screw to hold the thread insert in so tried and it fits

all good then notice the saws a bit noise this is because the blade guide bearings are shagged so got to get some new ones tomorrow
but i finished the cutting and ended with

8 Bowl blanks
4 Spindle blanks
60 Pen blanks

so all is good just had to get that out

Sounds to me like you've been far too amorous with that saw, young man! Get yourself a girlfriend and stop shagging a piece of workshop equipment ...
