Now THIS is a nice "job-site saw"

[Rod Sheridan]

I don't know Jim, seems to me portability is a requirement for a job site saw, unless you have a fork lift that one's a pretty poor job site saw

Thanks for the photographs, please share any others you're able to............Regards, Rod.

It does have a factory mobility kit on it, Rod. LOL

LOL.............Very true, however I'm not sure that even Arnold could boost it into a van for me..........Rod.

P.S. What is the weather in your area, are you in the cold snap?

Hafthor Björnsson lifted 1040lbs this year....but he’s conveniently unavailable whenever something needs moving around the workshop.

Chuck Norris could. And he wouldn't even have to leave his living room.

Probably using an unrolled paper clip as a johnson bar to pry the whole machine up the ramp made with chewing gum wrapper

[Jim Becker]

LOL...all great ideas for mobility!

Rod, last night was nasty and today started out equally nasty, but nothing like the poor folks in Chicago and Minneapolis have been experiencing. 3ºF with about a -13º wind chill this morning here. It's going to be in the 50's by Monday... My MiniSplit has been a real trooper in the shop. I'm SO glad I installed that puppy as working out there daily as I now do has been a pleasure as a result, even though I keep it at 65ºF.

What a shack!

When I read the thread title, I figured you were going to provide a link to this job site saw:

I'd love to find someone here who has used one and could offer comments.

Who gets to end up with the saw??

[Jim Becker]

Who gets to end up with the saw??

I'm wondering that, too...the client and his spouse, err...boss...were just here and he pretty much indicated he's not interested in taking up woodworking and wasn't sure what he was going to do with the gear when the project is done. Clearly, he bought the equipment. I honestly hope he considers giving or selling it to my cousin.

AND...he brought a deposit check. That was the first of two good things. The second was that "the boss" liked the idea of some additional elements I suggested which if confirmed will add a few more shekels to the deal. It must have been good luck brought by my new embroidered shirts. But seriously, they liked what I came up with and helped me work through something that I wasn't exactly happy relative to a proportion thing. And then they headed off to visit the Nakashima compound just down the road.

So the saw in the first picture has more features than the infotainment system in my new car! I hope it's more useful though I see a Model T in the second picture.

[Jim Becker]

Yes, the smaller saw is in the room, but I got the impression it feels mighty lonely...no surprise there! (I think it belongs to one of the other subs) The owner/GC bought the combo, huge vacuum press and an assortment of Festool gear just for the project. He admitted to me when he was touring my shop on Saturday that he has no personal interest in continuing with woodworking, however...

I don't know anyone who has one. They're popular in Europe I understand, and I expect they're great considering the Mafell reputation, but I'd like a friend to buy one first!
