HI Joe, what 300mm tenon cutter did you purchase? Max length of tenon? Cost?
I've been looking for similar for big door tenons and smaller timber work like gate projects. 5" tenon would even be more useful/
Ideally I would want the ability to cut twin tenons with spacers.? I hope the large set would be equally useful on shorter tenons for cabinet door size work. I do alot of twin tenons as it locates the rails to the stiles veryy squarely and solidly ( is that a word??) Also when the glue fails ( glue fails?always?over time on cross grain faces) the twin tenons will hold the form twice as well as a single tenon.
Unsure if you anyone is interested in twin tenons, but Nakahashi sells a twin mortise chuck for chisel mortices that allow you to cut two side by side mortices at once. Meant for smaller work, couple configurations but 6mm tenons spaced 6mm apart is an option with two other choices with minor variances.
My thought on the length of rip fence is mostly regarding my use of solid wood more than ply. I only buy a couple sheets a year for jigs and such.? ?So the wider rip capacity I feel is more convenient for solid work that may may be over 8'.? I think my fence( not felder) is 54"? I just feel the wider rip lets you cut longer pieces in half with out flipping the board around so much.
?another thought on having a slider for the OP is that I don't really like having to rip cut many sticks at at time on it. Few rip cuts here and there fine but kept my old unisaw for a dedicated rip saw for? stripping boards. I actually cut the fence down to 12" hug it up to the back of the shaper and share the feeder from the shaper with it. Only three horse, have been gagging with fast feeds for a some time and it still won't die. Miles of molding blanks and sticker for drying lumber sometimes at speeds as much as 60+ fpm.? I also worried that the sliding table is aluminum and dont want to where the edge from long runs of production ripping. Just thoughts. Sorry they are so random....
?Happy new year! Best to you all great conversation love reading your posts thankyou
