yep as you mentioned before and a nice saw

BTY the revo 18/36 is the new lathe not a bandsaw

I love the saw, never a problem with adjustments not holding and
adjustments can be relatively vague and it cuts fine.
I will warn you however, this saw comes with a 4.5 hp Baldor motor
that "you" have to mount, and you will have to add a cord, unless
something has changed. It is a 2 person job, mounting the motor, and
the motor is very heavy and large.

that or a hoist
a guy put together his big lathe (powermatic i think) with a engine hoist
while his wife looked on


Making veneer is a simple procedure with the 1.25" Resaw King that
Laguna sells.

you mentioned this before and i saw one in action
i never knew it was possible to do the thing that setup can do

One other thing, not really a feature of the saw other than the size
blade it uses, 150". The longer blades are a snap to fold and unfold
compared to shorter ones I have folded. I can fold and unfold bare
handed. There is such low tension with it folded that tossing it on
the ground to let it spring open does not work. I'm totally in
control when unfolding.

that is interesting
are you saying it is low tension because of the length of the blade
or is it a function of the material

it sounds like it is the material that is different
