Hemi, thought I'd add something... popped into my brain...

Have you thought about making a crosscut sled for a table saw? Might save you alot of time and headache with the circular.

Great idea, I have no idea on how to do it though. Maybe I will google it.

Should be alot out there on it.

Give you an idea of the world I lived in...

Here's a Weinig Dimter OptiCut S700 in action for wide panel cutting:



Here's a Weinig Dimter OptiCut 350 in action for normal width cutting:



We also had alot of other Weinig machines... a BKS resaw, ProfiMat and UniMat moulders and such. We had Mereen Johnson 431 Gang Rip Saws, Doucet End Matcher/Even Ender, and then a Newman Rough Planer... If you ever want to get really into it and see the astronomical costs associated with a full millwork shop, just google some of that shit.

Very interesting. It is similar technology to what we had in the electronic manufacturing industry and a lot of our customers had in the metal industry.

We had pick and place machines that would place up to 70,000 components per hour on a smd circuit board. Millions of dollars on the production line.

What do they do with those good sections of wood, glue them back together?

kccrow, thanks, I finally got around to making that cross cut sled for my craftsman table saw yesterday. Thank you!

The challenge was my table saw had tabs sticking out over the slide slot. I found a you tube that addressed that very issue. Lots of hand work making the the slides out of oak, but it works nice!

Happy to hear that this worked out. Would like to know what you think several months later.
