I took a look at Felder.

5300 bucks for a saw that can't break down a sheet of plywood? I'm
afraid that they need to learn a bit about the American market before
they try to sell those things here.

You will have to tell us exactly which Felder saw you looked at that cannot break down a sheet of plywood.

The one that has a 30 inch rip limit and costs 5300 bucks.

Felder is one of the European saws that have sliding tables.

Yep, says so right on the description. What of it?

Similar to Martin and Altendorf and SCMI. The PREMIER saws used by every company in the world that manufactures with plywood.

You'e conducted a survey of companies in the US that manufacture with
plywood?

So you are saying these companies cannot break down sheets of plywood even though they do that 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Yep. If they're making countertops or something where the limited rip
capacity is not an issue then maybe they can live with it, but others
can't.

Hmmm. None of them use extinct USA cabinet saws except as ripping saws.

Why would they need a US saw for ripping?

With a power feeder bolted to it, a cabinet saw with a rigid fence is great for ripping.

That's nice.

Just throw the wood at the fence and let the power feeder catch it and you can rip wood endlessly.

Changing the subject are you?
