    Both plywood and solid wood make good French cleats. If the cost is the same it seems to me that you’d be better off using thee solid wood. In my opinion solid wood would look better.

    That’s exactly why I got one. When I decided to retire SawStop was very new. I showed my wife the videos they had online and she told me to get one. While it hasn’t “saved me” yet that’s fine. I even...
