Re: Would you buy a combo Shaper/Saw?

Re: New resaw setup
Wow that's great. I would buy that in a instant for that price. There are not that many options for resaw feeders and they are so important. I have some homemade pressure wheels and use a power feeder

Re: Laser Kerf Line for slider saw?
In the ad it says1-2mm wide at 1m, and 2-3mm wide at 3m. So I¡¯m guessing about 2mm, and given your blade is about 3mm, that should be fine enough. Brian Lamb blamb11@... www.lambtoolworks.com

Re: Laser Kerf Line for slider saw?
Thanks Uncle Clint. I thought the cost may be too good to work for my needs. Any photo of your current setup with the Leica unit. I¡¯m assuming the cost is much more for a quality laser. Thanks,

Re: Laser Kerf Line for slider saw?
Will this laser produce a crisp line if mounted from a 10 ft ceiling? A difference of 6 feet from the saw. Thanks, Chris Perren 512-415-6951

Re: Would you buy a combo Shaper/Saw?
