Of course the blade and the condition of the blade is important no matter what kind of saw you are using. But with the power behind it the feed rate is impressive to say the least. It will never slow the blade down which means it runs cooler and will probably have better blade life too. |
The membership-based shop here in town has a BIG re-saw with a 2" wide carbide tipped blade and they say the same thing. I TOTALLY agree with your statement, but can I do it for the same $250 I have tied up in my rig?
Here's a shot of re-sawing some walnut; I believe it was 7" wide, but the wider stuff cuts OK. too. Sure, it's slower, but I'll use the couple thousand dollars on something else and same myself a hernia in the process.
