I'm about ready to retire my Unisaw and move up to a slider. I welcome your advise.
Here are my requirements/constraints/questions:
- I'm located in the Denver area.
- Thinking about SCM and Felder. I suppose these are the default choices. What else should I look at?
- I frequently work with 4' x 8' sheet goods. My understanding is that a 9' - 10' slider is best to accommodate 8 foot sheets. I have the space for either length. What length is ideal?
- My shop door opening is small at 32". The Felder K500S should fit through as the width of the main machine is 759mm. Not sure about SCM or others yet.
- Since most work is the the left of the blade, and I almost never use the 48" capacity on my cabinet saw, will I regret getting a slider with a 31" rip capacity?
Thanks in advance
Cheers,
Mark
