The blade is tensioned by a cam-lever and pulls so taut that the blade “sings” when plucked. Chris Schwarz (Popular Woodworking) said “...it's more like sawing with an unbendable wire than a floppy steel hotdog (which is what is typical of most saws)”. Make turns that are tighter than ever before. The solid steel indexing blade-hooks lock in eight 45° positions for a full 360° rotation. The hooks are spring loaded to prevent inadvertent rotation. Each hook assembly must be squeezed together to index. When released, the internal spring locks them in position again.

Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, was initiated in California. Under this act, a list of chemicals that are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm is published annually. This list contains more than 700 chemicals that can be found in consumer and industrial products or services, in addition to chemicals that are released into the environment.
As part of this California law, businesses are required to provide warnings for products that may contain any listed chemical. As such, the following warning will be included on specific product web pages and included with all orders shipped to the state of California:
WARNING: These products may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Products most likely to require Proposition 65 warnings include brass items, finishing products, items made of PVC. The state of California's advice regarding safe handling of most of these products is to wash your hands after handling.
