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. |

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. |

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? |

A small 10" would be very handy. Is it time to add a 5th miter? |

One of the best things I did was buy the Ryobi stand for mine, it was about $100. It sure makes working with long stuff easy, unlike before. Mine is 10 inch, don't mean to be boasting here. |

This. I get that budgets are an issue, b/c as a country, our priorities are ****ed. I really think they could do a lot of good by offering a class where they mix math, physics and shop classes together. A more practical application of math/physics that could make shop class a lot more valuable.

Your point just may be instrumental in helping the young men in the future get a more basic knowledge of math that will serve them well beyond shop related activities. To be honest, I wasn't aware the lack of shop classes was primarily due to budgets. I just assumed it was the big private learning institutions such as DeVry lobbying and applying pressure for their financial gain. |

10" is merely average on CP. |
