Thanks, Jon.
I've been riding my bicycle with my girlfriend lately when the weather cooperates which hasn't left much time available for speaker building. Finally we both decided we need a break and I got to work.
Turns out that the time I spent tweaking my old Craftsman radial arm saw would have been better spent buying a new table saw. I straightened an edge on my rough cut panels, and halfway through cutting the practice build's third side panel the saw locked up. Not sure whether the break is engaging or the bearings are shot but after cooling it will barely turn. Tried cleaning out the brake again without luck.
Off to buy a saw. Probably a Kobalt based on price, reviews and availability only 40 miles away. The joys of rural New York. Rather pedal the almost traffic free roads around here than most of the places I've lived.
