All:

Just saw this just today, they've supposedly been out for about a year or so. Neat idea IMO. A lot of second op work on the end of long parts is done with large heavy angle plates, indicated stop bars, and C-clamps. This is a much cleaner (and quicker), setup for the right sized parts. Obviously you could clamp spacers under the SideWinder to support shorter parts..

I apologize if this has been covered before. I did a topic search on SideWinder first and didn't see anything.

It's a pretty spicy meatball at $599. I wonder when we can expect a Cheap Chinese Knock-Off, eh Jon? LOL
