Makita LF1000/2 240V 260mm Flip Over Saw

Product Information

Kathy, the dolphin that ultimately took her own life, was the primary dolphin of the show, yet only one of five dolphins who starred in the series.

Dolphins are fun and spunky creatures, so when Flipper the dolphin made its television debut in the eponymous show in 1964, the adorable ocean-friend's sassy tail-slaps and quirky mishaps quickly won over the hearts of NBC daytime television viewers across America. But what many of these show attendees don't know, or morbidly ignore, is the true story behind one of the real-life dolphins who played Flipper himself. There’s a school of thought that, perhaps understandably, believes that tools should only do one thing, and do that one thing really well.However, as technology continues to influence the way tools are designed, we can expect to see more multi-purpose power tools coming our way. Her name was Kathy, and she suffered acute depression and ultimate self-harm that led her to suicide soon after the show ended. Even though he attempted to console the dolphin once shehad stopped breathing, there was nothing he could do to make her willingly take a breath of fresh air. The show was producedin cooperation with the Miami Seaquarium, and the Seaquarium hosted a variety of accommodations for the multiple dolphins who played the part, such as their set locations and pens. The smile of a dolphin is nothing but a complete illusion - a human trait associated with the animal in an attempt to project our own emotions onto the creature.

All five dolphins were taken directly out of the wild and trained to act for entertainment purposes. The machined aluminium table provides ultimate strength and accuracy, while the lightweight motor makes the conversion quick and easy. Ok, we’ll give them the “rapid” part, but as you saw in the video it isn’t entirely “tool free”, not if you want to fit the riving knife before the flip. While Flipperhimself might have appeared to be one dolphin throughout the '60s television run of Flipper, the show cycled through multiple dolphins.As you can see, we didn’t use any fancy cuts or speeded up clips to demonstrate how quickly and easily the saw flips over. The main advantage that this saw has is that it only weighs 32kg, so is easy to transport from site to site. He committed suicide in the same manner as Kathy, refusing to breathe until he sank to the bottom of his tank.

She was captured from the wild and taken into captivity to live the rest of her life as an entertainer for the series. With its quick mitre saw to table saw conversion and its rigid cast aluminium table, this is a great addition to anyone's kit. In a slightly more scandalous case of dolphin suicide, a dolphin named Peter, who was used in a scientific experiment, killed itself after being separated from its human experimenterwithwhomit had become sexually infatuated. The mitre saw function makes cross or, by rotating the tool's turntable, angle (mitre) cuts in wood.Alternatively, you can speed the process up by taking the tool to your nearest approved Makita Area Service Agent. She spent countless hours on set, but when her actingcareer was over, so to speak, she retired to a small chamber in theMiami Seaquarium.

Add to this a 30mm bored blade that’s spinning at 2850rpm, powered by a high torque induction motor outputting 1550 watts and you’ve got a thoroughly decent and capable saw on the job site. However, by rotating the saw’s turntable, it can also make angle cuts and bevel cuts, just like a mitre saw. Clearly, the advantage of such a multi-purpose saw would be evident where your workspace is at a premium. But, the tool is built into the saw, so this operation doesn’t add any significant amount of time to the flip over process. The inherent problem with flip over saws isn’t that they can’t do the job of a mitre saw or a table saw well.Peter, the dolphin who became emotionally attached to his human trainer while his experiments were being conducted, was also eventually moved to isolated captivity - and completely separated from his assumed mate.
