Well after a couple years, it’s finally cutting wood! Paint should be cured by now, hah! Did the mr sawdust table and new cord from another’s idea(smart by the way)! Purrs like a kitten and cuts like butter! Not the easiest machine to square back up after complete disassemble. Hopefully it holds for a while! Crosscut is pretty close to my dewalt 12” scms. But much smoother and quieter. Even with the 8” WWI, Krunkle blade, it still wants to plow itself through anything wider than 6”. Just have to anticipate it and go slowwww. I have it adjusted pretty tight knowing I’ll only use it for crosscuts.

What size blades will that one take? I know some of them only took 8” or 9” blades but I have seen some that take the 10” which is what I would like to have.

It takes a 9” but I used an 8” which is preferred for older underpowered saws

Lookin good Matt. I’ll could probably use your help in the near future. I’m gonna carry on my family tradition of building wooden boats and I hear it’s becoming a lost art, but I need to get my shop set up right first. come stop by next time you’re in lafayette.
