are not using your saw to it's full potential.

When ripping rough cut wood in preparation to jointing and sizing,
the bandsaw is a better tool than the table saw. My saw is tuned to
where it cuts straight and square.


So is mine. I can cut directly to a line, without the $150 fence.


Ripping to a line would seem to me to be a pain in the butt. Of
course it depends on what I'm ripping. Most woods rip fine with the
fence. Effing Lyptus drifts all over the place.
