Just another comment here of what woodworking is like when one uses a very accurate and powerful table saw. The Powermatic almost makes me want to give up metal work and build furniture.

One piece of Poplar\u00a0I needed was\u00a0a 2 inch wide board 1\/2 inch thick. After the cut both the board and the 1\/16 waste looked like they came out of a surface plainer. No saw marks what-so-ever! I am now officially spoiled.<\/p>\n<p>If I can stand the initial cost, top line tools are worth every cent. They won&#8217;t make me a better craftsperson.
