    Hi Justin, This isn't what you asked about but is the back side of the cabinet going to have doors or a plywood back? If you have doors all the way around, which is very nice for access, there is...

    I agree with Scott here. It will take very little force to pull 1/8 bow out of 5/8" stock over 40" long -- most any attachment method would hold the top reliably flat

    Those kinds of cuts scare me also. Depending on how the backer board is mounted you don't really need to have a knife edge. Leave a proud 1/16" flat on the beveled edge so it can register to the...

    Hi Keith,
    I'm a one man cabinet shop and I needed a second saw--too much time between jumping from rip, crosscut and dado head. When I bought the Grizzly I really wanted a Sawstop but needed a...

    I used the 5 cut to set things up, but haven't done it repeatedly after removing and replacing the fence. I just got it last week, so I don't really have long term results to report. I...
