    New Zealand Registration

    I'm not quiet sure what your getting at, do you have work lined up or are you just moving then hoping for the best? If you have an employer out in Christchurch they should sort out getting you certified (assuming its the same regs as OZ) It's been about 6 yrs since I was in Oz but they did...

    Life Insurance

    Just to add on to this Sticky. If anyone is wishing to work in Afghanistan you will need to be covered for "Acts of war" this is a claws that all insurers have.

    Questions :- working in Saudi

    This isn't the actual rates but rates you could achieve working off my own experience, these rates are guides only not to be taken literally.

    Evolution Rage Mitre Saw

    Firstly why would that bother you? secondly who touches a blade after they cut something? but to answer you question, the blade is coated so the heat doesnt transfere to the metal as quickly, so once the coating is gone you will be able to burn your fingers as much as you would like. :)
