cms vs scms
Now that 12" CMS are everywhere, what are the pros/cons of the CMS vs
SCMS? I have the 8.5" Hitachi SCMS that was the rave back then. It cuts 2x up to 12" 90 deg. Other than that, I cannot think of an advantage of it over the current 12" CMS. The one disadvantage that I see is it consumes about 32" of front to back space, while a CMS would only take 24" or less. Other than the obvious cutting capacity, when would at SCMS be preferred over a CMS. (the 12" CMS cuts about 8" wide 2x at 90 deg.) I'd also haved to believe the SCMS has more "play", thus less accurate. I do not have a RAS - dont plan to get one. I do have a TS and crosscut sled. |

If you have a decent depth stop, you can use a slider to cut dadoes or halved joints. |
