Post: RE: Help designing this table?

Any idea what might have happened to this Colorado Spruce tree?  The top 6-8' just died off.  I guess I don't really need to know what happened unless there is a danger of whatever it was spreading to...

You don't necessarily need a backcutter.  You can accomplish the same thing with a dado blade or a rabbeting bit.  It also allows you the flexibility to raise the raised panel bit gradually for multip...
