Got home from work, ate dinner, and off to the work shop. Ahhh!
Serenity...

Started work on my future son's maple dresser (due in Feb). I thought the
legs would be a good place to start, yeah good idea.

Jointed a corner square on the leg stock and started to rip to width,
1.75" (plus a smidge for the planer). Started the rip and I blew the dam
breaker. Try a slower feed rate! Yeah, brilliant idea! Loaded up the
next leg stock in front of the saw and cranked her on and started my
s-l-o-w feed, and pop, blew the breaker again! Ahh crap. Serenity out
the window.

I need a beefier saw dam it!!! My bandsaw might have to wait!


Actually, a bandsaw would do the job you tried with ease, and more. If you
leave a "smidge" for the planer, you just need to leave the line. Fence and
feed works the same on one side straight; chalk, snap and follow starts you
out from rough.

Great tool.
