Re: Felder Universal Diamond saw blade, does anyone have or used one.
French River Springs has a youtube video review of this blade that I came across recently. He runs through a number of materials and cuts. I don't believe knots were specifically addressed but it

Re: Felder Universal Diamond saw blade, does anyone have or used one.
I would imagine the blade was developed for volume panel cutting where the abrasives are higher then likely marketed as as an all around blade to grab more sales Regards, Mark

Re: Felder Universal Diamond saw blade, does anyone have or used one.
I'm likely a cult of one but what problem exists that needs a $600 blade to fix? Dave ________________________________ Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2021 9:20 AM To: [email protected]

Re: The Log Mantle Project
Imran, You clearly need a Raimann Flexirip saw. My lumber supplier just got one. I think it will take a 20" blade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZQ9V603Ed4 Jason Holtz J. Holtz Furniture

Re: Edgebanders
Thanks for the responses, gentleman, to add: Tom and Mike - I have a Festool Conturo and bought the table a year later which made small parts 100% more enjoyable to edgeband. After about 5 years now,
