More expensive but I might worth it...and it will still be cheaper than a

X5 is a good deal. The shop got one last week. Took a couple of hours to
set up. Most of that setup time was due to fabricating an auxiallary table
to handle long stock. Threw out the blade that came with it and went with a
good bimetal. So far we've done about 400 blanks for guitar necks and 100
or so steering wheel blanks. Been running great.

Laid it on top. Height loss not much of a problem as we run mostly 4/4 or
5/4 roughcut maple. Occassionally larger but never over 10/4. The table is
just 1/4" ply. 2x4s screwed to either side of cast table with a couple of
2x4 stiffeners for the unsupported end. Held down by four drywall screws so
it's easy to take off.

No. I'm afraid I don't have either. I didn't actually make the table
another guy did. This is a small six man shop I'm working in.

Q: I've been wanting to build such a table, but I didn't want to
detract from the 6.25 inches I have right now. Did you build an
infeed/outfeed sort of table that sits flush with the cast one, or did
you lay it on top of the cast iron and sacrifice height on what I
assume was 12.25 with your riser block.

The software said it ran under Windows 98/NT/2000, or better.
So I installed it on Linux...

thanks,
I think I will give a try over the 28-206 (Taiwainese version).....it will
be much cheaper than the Laguna and for my needs it will be more than enough
:-)

Do you have the plan or pics of your new table?

thanks for the info...
