Re: replacing a sliding table saw with a CNC router
IMHO you are still going to want a table saw for cutting hardwoods. There are some things that are going to take you 10 times longer to do on the CNC. Want to rip down some boards? 4 seconds to setup

Re: Shaper with CopeCrafter and outboard fence and pressure jaws to make panels
