Post: RE: left tilt === right tilt
Don't know. Have never used a left tilt saw. Started carpenter career in 1961. Right tilt saw has done for me, what needed to be done. |

Thread: Curved Bridge with a Swing
Post: RE: Curved Bridge with a Swing

Rarely, oh so rarely. Most boards i work on, would require a way way more than two passes on the drum sander. Planer is so much more efficient. |
