$20K buys a lot of precision and flexibility. But when you think of the savings in time and waste from imperfect cuts I can see why investing that kinda of money in a single tool pays off in the longer term.
I bought a slideing table saw as part of a combination machine 10 years ago, but there are not many videos on youtube on the tips and tricks. Your latest videos fill that gap. I think the goal should be to get the wood onto the carriage and avoid using the rip fence whenever possible. If i can hold the wood down on the carriage and use both hands on the sliding table, i am beside the table (out of the line of fire for kickback) and my hands are nowhere near the blade. Keep the coming please!
I wish our saw at work had the rear attachment! If Im really stuck I'll use my track saw, which is fine but when you've got a sliding panel saw right there it'd be nice to use it to its full potential!
