Is anyone using one? I see laguna offers 2 models one has a minimum feed of 4 fpm and one 0+ fpm price from $900 to $2,200. My Delta I do not use on my 18" 3 hp saw the minimum feed is 10 fpm I know that will be to fast, only use it on the shaper and table saw for mouldings. I do a lot of resawing of thins in exotic woods.
The other issue is blade life. Use 1"- 1 1/2" 2 tpi carbine steel maybe 100 feet at best depends on wood type @ $25 a blade. Should bit the bullet and purchase a bi-metel or carbide tiped blade. Will the blde remain sharp 10 times longer I would think so. Cost to sharpen$40 to $60 and how many times? Any thoughts?
Thanks Dennis
