Thanks for the suggestions guys. I should have given the dimensions too, as it looks smaller than it is. In the picture, it stands about 11" high and is almost 3' long.

I'm leaning toward...

It's hard to see from the pictures, but the burl runs completely around the outside in a circle. Unfortunately, my wife wouldn't let me get a 40" bandsaw to cut it properly. :)

I was recently given a chunk of burl. I had to cut it in half to get it onto my bandsaw, that that is all I have done. I don't have any special project for it yet, but would like to use it for thin...

I inhereted this interesting spalted maple block, but have questions about how I should treat it and how I should cut it. Here is a picture:...

Okay, what is the magic words I have to say--or the amount of time to hold down the power button.

I just got my new super (when it starts) Dust Gorilla set up. It has run successfully a few...

This may not be an option for you, but in the one built-in that I made:

1) tore out the old carpet
2) I built the foundation or the built-in unit
3) had new carpet installed up to the...

I would veneer both sides. You can use some cheap veneer for the back side. MDF is flat, but it is very plyable over time. I tried to make a work bench out of laminated MDF--thinking it would end up...

If you are going with a regular grain, non-figured wood, I would use the hardwood directly. If you want a bookmatched surface of walnut or maple, I would still try and resaw the hardwood. If you...

I received my email notice today that the shipment was on its way. It won't arrive until next Thursday for me. But, that is okay because I won't have time to use it until then anyway.

I use it for speaker building, as it is dimensionally uniform, so there are no unwanted resonances. However, I don't think I would use it for anything else, even veneering. A plywood substrate...

Okay, now my head is really ready to explode. Thank you for all your input. I will start doing the pricing and research on the recommended sources.

The Incra would work, but I would not want to cut that wide. A guided circular saw system (Festool?) would probably be better, safer and easier.

If you want a 72" long fence, you could get the...

I think the Bosch has some very nice features. First and foremost, it has a riving knife-like splitter. Also, it has a pretty powerful motor. It also has decent dust collection around the blade. ...

I should note that I had some issues with my Incra system as delivered (bent part, wrong & bent fence, missing bolts), but Woodpeckers worked to make everything right in the end.

This one always starts a huge debate--which has been addressed many, many times. I would really consider doing a search for incra and jointech.

The bottom line seems to be if you like the...

I'm trying to improve my DC system, but cannot find a good local vendor for the duct pieces. My local Borg doesn't have a very good selection, and nobody could tell me the gauge of what they did...

I use a self made router encasement under the table, and don't actually use on on the fence. The under table DC seems to catch everything. I'm sure there are some applications that I have not run...

Wait a minute. When is Festool releasing the Widget? I want one. Gotta go get Bob on the phone.

As one the hobbiests with a lot I would like to do in a little time, I ordered one right away. It will let me get a lot more done in the little time I have.

After watching David Marks a lot, I...

I'm far from a good eletrician, but can't you just switch the non-ground wires to reverse direction? I recently wired my new BS, and the two non-ground wires on the BS were both black. The manual...

I used Gary's method on some purpleheart recently. I didn't have my bandsaw yet, so that was the only option. It probably would have been better to do it in several cuts rasing the blade each time,...

Thanks everyone. I am really excited about this tool as I think it will open up a lot of creative projects that my little Jet 12" just couldn't handle. I already can't wait to go to my local...

Thanks to everyone for your help on this purchase--especially Mark Singer. Since it's not real until there are pictures:

The thing that brought me to Festool was a desire for accurate cutting of sheet goods. I don't like hefting around full sheets (bad back), so I bought the saw and guide system. It worked so well I...

After reading this thread, I found some 10.5" wide purpleheart sitting around from an old project and I took it to a dealer to test out on the Agazzani B-20. He sent me a picture of the final product...
